The front door of a house is its focal point, so replacing one can make a dramatic difference to its appearance. It also improves security, an investment that pays back in the future. You’ll find a wide range of styles, shapes, and designs at a door and window store or home center. To understand the steps involved in installing a pre-hung door, go to www.thermatru.com, a manufacturer’s site, where you can see a video or download instructions.
To remove an existing door and install a new prehung fiberglass door, a carpenter or door installation contractor will charge $1,160, which includes the door and installation. You can remove the old door, buy a new one, and install it for $800, the cost of the door, assuming you have basic carpentry skills and tools.
