Exterior door into the garage replaced
HomeCloud replaced the worn exterior door into the garage with a new half-glass door and trim.
Exterior door findings are some of the most common in HomeCloud evaluations, and most are small: a door that doesn't latch, worn weather stripping, a missing door stopper, loose hardware. Many can be handled together in one visit.
Worn paint and finish on a door, or on its trim, is mostly cosmetic at first, but bare wood takes on water and rots over time.

What affects the price
- How many doors and items
- Small door fixes are often priced near a minimum visit, so bundling several doors and items into one visit is the better value.
- Hardware you choose
- Deadbolts, handles and smart locks range widely in price.
- Rot in the door or frame
- Soft wood at the bottom of a door or frame has to be cut out and replaced, which costs more than an adjustment.
- Refinishing a stained door
- Stained wood doors take more steps to strip and refinish than a painted door takes to repaint.
Common questions
Why is a double-keyed deadbolt flagged?
A double-keyed deadbolt needs a key on the inside too. In a fire or emergency, someone could be stuck looking for the key. A deadbolt with a thumb turn on the inside is the usual replacement.
Repair the door or replace it?
Most doors can be adjusted, sealed and refinished. Replacement makes sense when the door is warped, rotted through or no longer seals even after the weather stripping is replaced.
