How to get an accurate quote

  1. Get several quotes and compare, not just price.
  2. Be specific about size, materials and any existing issues.
  3. Ask whether the quote includes labor, materials, permits and cleanup.
  4. Confirm the contractor is licensed and insured before you hire.

Cost by door type

Door replacement cost depends on the type and material. Here's the typical installed range:

Door typeTypical cost
Interior (hollow core)$150 – $400
Interior (solid core)$300 – $700
Exterior (steel / fiberglass)$600 – $1,500
Entry / front door$1,000 – $2,500
Exterior doors cost more

Exterior doors require proper sealing and are a security investment. Front entry doors are the most expensive of all.

Example

Replacing a front entry door

A new steel or fiberglass entry door installed, including the frame and hardware, typically runs around $1,300. Upgrading to a custom wood front door pushes toward $2,500+.

How to save

  • Replace several doors at once for volume pricing.
  • Choose standard sizes over custom.
  • Look for energy-efficiency rebates on exterior doors.
  • Do the trim work yourself where safe.
