Doors That Fit Right and Work Properly

Siding Installation & Replacement in Johns Creek

A door that doesn't close all the way or lets in a draft every time the wind picks up costs you comfort and energy. In Johns Creek, where summer heat and occasional winter cold put pressure on your heating and cooling system, a properly installed door makes a measurable difference. You get a seal that holds, hardware that latches, and a threshold that doesn't let air or water through.

The work includes removing the old door, preparing the rough opening, setting the new door frame, and adjusting the hinges and strike plate for smooth operation. Installation improves security, insulation, and overall appearance, and it's backed by years of local experience and competitive pricing.

What Changes After Installation

Door installation in Johns Creek begins with measuring the rough opening and confirming the door size, swing direction, and hardware placement. The old door and frame are removed, and the opening is checked for level and plumb before the new frame is set and shimmed into position. The door is hung on hinges, adjusted for clearance, and tested to ensure it opens and closes without binding or gaps.

When the door is installed, you'll notice it closes with a solid click, the latch engages without forcing, and there's no light or air leaking around the edges. Exterior doors sit flush against weatherstripping, and the threshold creates a tight seal at the bottom. Interior doors swing smoothly and stay where you leave them without drifting open or shut.

Jordan Carpentry & Siding uses prehung doors when possible to ensure the frame and door are aligned from the start, and custom installations are completed with attention to fit and finish. Exterior doors are sealed with caulk and flashing to prevent water intrusion, and locksets or deadbolts are installed with proper strike plate depth and alignment. The result is a door that works the way it should and lasts through daily use.

Questions That Come Up Before Installation

Homeowners in Johns Creek often want to know how long installation takes, whether the frame needs replacing, and what to look for when choosing a door. These answers cover the practical details that matter before work begins.

How long does it take to install a door?
Most door installations are completed in two to four hours, depending on whether the frame needs replacement or adjustment. Exterior doors with sidelights or custom hardware may take longer, but the work is typically finished in one visit.
When should I replace the door frame?
If the frame is rotting, warped, or no longer holds the door securely, replacement is necessary. Jordan Carpentry & Siding inspects the frame during installation and recommends replacement if the damage affects the door's fit or seal.
What makes an exterior door energy efficient?
Energy-efficient doors have insulated cores, weatherstripping that seals all four sides, and low-emissivity glass if the door includes windows. Proper installation with sealed edges and a tight threshold prevents drafts and reduces heating and cooling loss.
Why does my door stick or scrape the floor?
Doors stick when the frame settles, the hinges loosen, or humidity causes the wood to swell. Jordan Carpentry & Siding adjusts the hinges, planes the door edge, or shims the frame to restore smooth operation without gaps.
How do you match a new door to existing trim?
New doors are selected to match the style, thickness, and finish of your existing trim, or new casing is installed to create a consistent look. Jordan Carpentry & Siding works with standard and custom sizes to fit your home's design and rough opening dimensions.
