Door Installation Cost Guide for Metro Detroit

Planning a new front door, or fixing one that won't close right after the house shifted over winter? Door installation cost in metro Detroit can range from a few hundred dollars for an interior swap to several thousand for a custom fiberglass entry with sidelights. This guide breaks down typical 2026 price ranges by door type — so you know what to expect before you ever pick up the phone.

Entry Door Replacement Cost: Steel, Fiberglass & Wood

Entry door replacement cost is the number most homeowners ask about first, and it swings widely because the door material does most of the work. A basic steel door is the budget champion; fiberglass costs more but shrugs off Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles without warping, rusting, or swelling; solid wood delivers the richest curb appeal at the top of the range. Add sidelights, a transom, decorative glass, or a new frame and the total climbs.

Your exact price depends on the size of the opening, whether the existing frame is rotted or out-of-square, the hardware you choose, and the finish. Get a free estimate for a firm, itemized number.

• Steel entry door, installed: typically $500–$1,600
• Fiberglass entry door, installed: typically $1,300–$4,200
• Solid wood entry door, installed: typically $2,000–$6,000+
• Add sidelights, transom, or decorative glass: typically $700–$2,500 more

Patio & Sliding Door Installation Cost

Patio door installation cost depends mostly on whether you keep the sliding-glass style or upgrade to swinging French doors. Sliders are usually the more affordable option and the simpler swap; French patio doors cost more to buy and hang true, but many metro Detroit homeowners love the wider opening and the look. Either way, insist on an insulated glass unit — older single-pane patio doors are one of the biggest sources of winter heat loss in Michigan homes.

Oversized and multi-panel doors are custom work, so pricing is best confirmed with a free measurement at your home.

• Sliding glass patio door, installed: typically $1,500–$4,500
• French (hinged) patio door, installed: typically $2,500–$6,500
• Multi-panel or oversized patio door: get a free custom estimate

Storm Door & Interior Door Installation Cost

A storm door is one of the highest-return upgrades you can make: it shields your entry door from wind-driven rain and snow, adds an insulating air gap against the cold, and lets you screen in a breeze come spring. Storm door installation cost is modest next to a full entry replacement. Interior doors — bedroom, bathroom, closet, and pre-hung swaps — are the most budget-friendly jobs on this list, and a great way to refresh a room without a big spend.

• Storm door, installed: typically $300–$1,200
• Interior pre-hung door, installed: typically $250–$800
• Interior slab door in existing frame: typically $150–$500
• Bifold or closet door: typically $150–$600

Common Door Repair Costs

Not every problem calls for a brand-new door. Plenty of the calls we run are repairs — a door that won't latch after the house settles, a deadbolt that sticks in a hard cold snap, a slider that jumped its track, or storm-damaged weatherstripping letting the wind whistle through. We tackle these promptly, and when the schedule allows, same day during business hours, with fully-stocked trucks so most fixes are handled in a single visit.

• Door realignment, planing, or hinge adjustment: typically $120–$350
• Lockset or deadbolt replacement: typically $150–$400
• Weatherstripping and threshold replacement: typically $120–$350
• Sliding door roller or track repair: typically $150–$500
• Glass pane or screen replacement: typically $150–$600

What Drives Your Price — and Financing

Two homes on the same street can get very different quotes, and it comes down to a handful of factors. Understanding them helps you read any door installation cost estimate with confidence — and see where you can save.

Ask about financing options when you book; spreading a larger entry or patio project into monthly payments is common. Every quote starts with a free, no-obligation estimate and honest, flat-rate pricing, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

• Door material and construction (steel vs. fiberglass vs. wood)
• Size, and whether it's a standard or custom opening
• Frame condition — rotted or out-of-square framing adds labor
• Glass, sidelights, transoms, and decorative options
• Hardware grade — locksets, smart locks, and handle sets
• Energy rating and weather sealing built for Michigan winters
