For construction professionals, knowing the labor cost to remove and install an exterior door is crucial for accurate project planning. Current rates for labor typically range from $425 to $720 for standard pre-hung doors, with custom installations potentially exceeding $1,200. These costs are influenced by factors such as door type, material, and regional labor rates.
• Door style and size
• Cladding materials like brick or stucco
• Additional features like alarm sensors
• Historic home requirements
• Scheduling and timing
Professional installation involves several steps, including removal of the old door, site preparation, framing adjustments, and final installation. Each task is priced based on local wage rates and crew efficiency.
• Removal of existing door and components
• Site protection and cleanup
• Framing and installation adjustments
• Weatherproofing and insulation
• Final hardware installation
To avoid overestimating costs, consider scheduling installations during off-peak seasons and combining projects to share setup costs. Using pre-finished materials can also reduce labor time.
While DIY projects can seem cost-effective, they often require more time and resources than anticipated. Professional crews, like those verified by CountBricks, complete installations efficiently and with a warranty, ensuring quality and reducing risk.
