When it comes to home improvement projects, few are as satisfying and impactful as replacing your old, worn-out doors with brand new ones. Whether you're aiming to boost your home's curb appeal, enhance energy efficiency, or simply update your interior design, Reddy Pros is here to guide you through the door replacement process. In this post, we'll walk you through the steps involved in replacing a door, including what to do when the new door doesn't quite fit your existing frame.

Step 1: Evaluate Your Door Replacement Needs

The first step in any successful door replacement project is to assess your needs. What type of door are you looking to replace, and what's the reason behind it? Do you want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model, or are you simply seeking to refresh your home's aesthetic? Identifying your objectives will help you select the right door for the job.

Step 2: Choose the Perfect Door

Reddy Pros can install a wide range of high-quality doors, including entry doors, interior doors, and patio doors, to suit your specific requirements. Select the perfect door style, material, and finish to complement your home's architecture and design.

Step 3: Measure Your Door Frame

Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure a seamless door replacement. If your new door is the same size as the old one, this step is straightforward. However, when the new door is a different size, you'll need to make some adjustments to the door frame.

Step 4: Adjusting the Door Frame

When your new door is larger or smaller than the old one, the door frame will need to be modified accordingly. Reddy Pros has skilled carpenters who can handle this task with precision. Here's a simplified overview of the process:

For Larger Doors:

• Remove the existing door, hardware, and trim.

• Carefully disassemble the frame as needed.

• Extend the frame's width and height to accommodate the larger door.

• Securely fasten the frame and make sure it's plumb and level.

• Install the new door, ensuring a snug fit within the modified frame.

• Add new trim and hardware to complete the installation.

For Smaller Doors:

• Remove the old door, hardware, and trim.

• Carefully disassemble the frame as necessary.

• Trim down the frame to fit the dimensions of the smaller door.

• Securely fasten the modified frame, ensuring it's plumb and level.

• Install the new door, making sure it fits perfectly within the adjusted frame.

• Complete the installation with new trim and hardware.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

With the new door in place, it's time to add the finishing touches. Reddy Pros can install a variety of door hardware, such as handles, locks, and decorative features, allowing you to personalize your door to match your style and security preferences.
