Professional Steel Entry Door Installation

Why Steel Entry Door Installation Matters for Construction Professionals

Steel entry doors are a top choice for construction professionals seeking durability and energy efficiency. With installation costs ranging from $650 to $1,200 per opening, these doors offer a cost-effective solution for enhancing security and aesthetics. Leveraging AI technology, our platform provides accurate estimates and seamless integration into construction projects.

The Advantages of Steel in Construction

Durability: High-gauge steel resists warping and cracking, offering longevity superior to wood or fiberglass.

Security: Reinforced plates and multi-point locking systems enhance protection against forced entry.

Energy Efficiency: Foam-filled cores provide excellent insulation, reducing HVAC costs.

Design Versatility: Options like decorative glass and custom finishes mimic premium wood aesthetics without maintenance.

Streamlined Estimating with AI

Traditional estimates can be time-consuming. Our AI-driven system simplifies the process:

• Voice-activated project details capture measurements and preferences.
• Real-time pricing and labor rates generate itemized estimates quickly.
• Professional quote documents are auto-generated for easy sharing.
• Blueprint integration ensures precise alignment with construction plans.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

1. Pre-installation survey: Verify dimensions and compliance.

2. Removal of existing door: Careful extraction to prevent damage.

3. Flashing and pan preparation: Ensure waterproofing.

4. Frame setting: Use shims and levels for accurate alignment.

5. Insulation and anchoring: Seal gaps and secure jambs.

6. Hardware installation: Ensure a tight, secure fit.

7. Finish and paint: Complete the aesthetic.

8. Quality check: Review operation and provide maintenance tips.

Cost Considerations for Professionals

• Door gauge: 20-gauge is economical; 18-gauge offers enhanced security.
• Additional features: Sidelites and transoms increase costs but add value.
• Smart technology: Wi-Fi locks enhance convenience and value.
• Labor rates: Our system uses local data for accurate pricing.

Case Study: The Martinez Project
