Your entry door is more than a point of access—it’s the handshake between your Mission Viejo home and the neighborhood. A faded slab or squeaky hinge can reduce property value, energy performance, and first impressions. CountBricks specializes in upgrading entry doors Mission Viejo homeowners rely on for style, security, and efficiency. By combining on-site expertise with AI-powered estimating, we deliver a faster, clearer path from inspiration to installation.
Southern Orange County enjoys 280+ sunny days a year, but coastal breezes and rare heat waves create unique demands on materials. CountBricks pros evaluate three local factors before recommending a door package:
• Heat exposure on west- or south-facing façades
• Building code requirements for fire-rated assemblies near garages
• HOA design guidelines that dictate color palettes and sidelight configurations
Traditional estimates can take a week of site visits and manual spreadsheets. CountBricks compresses that timeline into a same-day experience.

Replacing a 1990s hollow-core door with an insulated fiberglass model can cut HVAC loss through the threshold by up to 30 %. In CountBricks case studies, Mission Viejo clients recouped 70–80 % of project cost at resale, outperforming many interior remodels.
• Use composite jamb extensions to prevent moisture rot where sprinklers hit trim
• Apply low-expansion foam behind casing to maintain door alignment over time

When the Ramirez family contacted CountBricks, their 1968 wood door had visible sun cracking and a gap you could feel every afternoon breeze through. In a 15-minute phone call, our estimator captured dimensions, discussed HOA color rules, and generated three cost scenarios.
• Option 1: Fire-rated steel with panel detailing – $2,050 installed
• Option 2: Smooth fiberglass with satin nickel hardware – $2,380 installed
• Option 3: Solid mahogany with side-lite kit – $4,260 installed
The family chose Option 2 for its balance of insulation and aesthetics. CountBricks crews removed the old unit, corrected a sloped sill with composite shims, and installed the new door before school pickup time. Airtight blower-door testing afterward showed a 15 % reduction in overall leakage.
• Request a smart deadbolt prep during ordering; retrofitting later can void finish warranties
• Match threshold material to existing flooring height to avoid tripping hazards
• Paint or stain all six sides—including the top and bottom edges—to block moisture
• Schedule annual hinge lubrication every Memorial Day to coincide with summer weather changes
