Doors are a vital component of any home. They need to be strong against the elements, easy on the eyes and meet each room’s specific needs.
Door installation costs vary depending on a variety of factors, including the type of door and labor. Read on to discover the various options for your next project:
High-End Options
Investing in superior quality doors is a great way to deter burglars and increase home security. However, it is essential to consider your options carefully because specialized and custom doors will add a significant amount to the overall cost of installation.
Door prices depend on the material type and install location. For example, steel and composite doors are cheaper than wood or fiberglass. Entry doors with sidelights, glass features, or a top transom window cost more than plain doors. Also, fire-rated doors, which provide 20 minutes to 4 hours of fire resistance, are typically required by building codes between houses and garages. They cost $450 to $1,100 to replace.
Luxury Entrances
High-end options are available for those who want to go the extra mile. They feature premium materials and sophisticated designs that guarantee longevity and optimal performance.
For example, you can opt for a stylish bi-fold door that can serve as a room divider and also protect your home from inclement weather without hindering visibility. This type of door blends style and functionality, so you can choose a design that fits your home’s unique personality.

Bi-Fold Doors
Unlike sliding doors, bi-fold doors fold compactly when they’re open. This space-saving feature makes them ideal for areas where maximizing floor space is key.
You can find exterior bifold doors in timber, upvc, and aluminium. Look for a high thermal efficiency rating, which measures how well the doors stop heat from escaping and cold air from finding its way in.
You can also choose a door with a low threshold that’s perfect for sunrooms and conservatories, blurring the line between indoor living spaces and outdoor entertainment areas. Check that the door system is hurricane-tested and has a good energy rating. Also, consider how many points of locking the doors have.
Storm Doors
A storm door adds an extra layer of protection to your entryway and offers visibility into your yard. These doors also offer ventilation and help protect against insects and debris from strong wind or rain.
Full-view storm doors cost between $200 and $525, with options for full or divided glass panes. They can also be upgraded with specialized glass types that improve insulation or security, such as Low-E or tempered glass.
A professional independent installer can provide expert guidance on finding the right door for your home and staying within budget. They’ll measure your door, handle installation and review maintenance instructions. They may also charge a general contractor fee for organizing and supervising the project.
Garage Screen Doors
Depending on the type of screen you choose and your garage size, your total cost will vary. Basic stationary models featuring flexible fiberglass mesh typically start at around $200. Add-ons like pet-resistant mesh or sun-blocking material increase the price. Motorized systems that roll in and out of your garage door track require professional installation, pushing the price past $1,500.
Converting a garage into a multi-use family room is an excellent way to boost your home’s value. But without adequate protection, this new space may become a magnet for bugs and other nuisances.

Screen Rooms
A screen enclosure is a perfect way to extend your living area and make it pest-free and comfortable. These rooms are typically made out of aluminum framework and tightly woven screens that keep mosquitoes, rodents, and other insects at bay. They also help to improve your home’s curb appeal and usability. They are most often used to enclose lanais and swimming pools.
