A Better Door Begins With the Right Plan

No two homes, entryways, or homeowners are exactly alike. Before recommending a product, we take time to understand what you want to improve.

Perhaps your existing door is difficult to close. You may notice drafts, moisture, damaged trim, worn hardware, or visible gaps around the frame. In other cases, the current entry simply does not reflect the character of your home.

Our team considers the full installation project rather than treating the door as an isolated product.

Accurate Measurement for a Proper Fit

A successful result starts with an accurate measurement of the opening. Even a high-quality unit can perform poorly when the surrounding frame is out of square or the dimensions are incorrect.

We measure the available space and inspect the door opening, jamb, sill, trim, and surrounding materials. This helps us identify conditions that could affect the fit before the new product is ordered or installed.

Guidance Through Every Door Type

Choosing your door type can feel overwhelming when materials, configurations, glass options, finishes, and hardware all need to work together.

MOSS DOOR Company offers access to a broad range of options, including:

  • Smooth and contemporary fiberglass products
  • Fir-grain and oak-grain textured fiberglass
  • Rustic and modern entry designs
  • Traditional and custom wood products
  • Interior doors
  • French, patio, sliding, storm, and screen options
  • Custom configurations for unique openings

Fiberglass can provide durability, low maintenance, and design flexibility. Wood offers natural warmth and distinctive character. We help you compare the practical differences and select an option that complements your home without sacrificing function.

Why Homeowners Trust Moss Door Company

MOSS DOOR Company is locally owned and backed by more than 35 years of industry experience. Founder Eric Moss and his team focus specifically on doors, giving homeowners access to specialised knowledge that a general independent installer may not provide.

Specialised Door Expertise

Our team understands how door materials, framing, weather exposure, hardware, and finishing affect long-term performance. That knowledge allows us to look beyond the product itself and plan the complete installation service.

Start-to-Finish Project Management

We can help with product selection, custom ordering, hardware, fitting, finishing, and final adjustments. This turnkey process gives you one knowledgeable team and a clear point of contact throughout the project.

Craftsmanship With Integrity

We believe a contractor should treat your property carefully, communicate clearly, and stand behind the completed work. Our goal is not to rush another product into place. It is to leave you with an entry that looks right, operates properly, and feels like it belongs in your home.

Our Time Tested Approach

How Door Installation works with Moss Door

1

Consultation and Cost Quote

The installation cost depends on the product, size, material, glass, hardware, finishing requirements, and condition of the current opening.

A straightforward replacement in a sound frame may require less work than a custom configuration involving structural changes, sidelights, transoms, damaged framing, or specialised finishes. Because every project is different, an on-site evaluation provides a more useful estimate than a generic online price.

2

Preparing the Entryway

Once the old materials are removed, we examine the opening for damage, uneven framing, or other conditions that need attention. The sill and surrounding structure must provide a stable foundation for the new unit.

For an exterior door, moisture management is especially important. Depending on the construction of the entry, preparation may include a sill pan or another appropriate pan and flashing method to help direct water away from vulnerable materials. Making sure your door keeps dirt, water, and critters out is a must.

3

Setting and Securing the Door

The new door unit must sit square, plumb, and level. Installers may shim jamb sections where needed to maintain the correct spacing and alignment. Appropriate screws are then used to secure the frame while preserving smooth operation. Placing screws incorrectly or overtightening them can pull the jamb out of alignment, causing the panel to bind, swing, or develop uneven gaps.

Our team uses the proper tools and installation methods to establish consistent spacing around the panel and dependable contact with the weatherstripping.

4

Final Adjustments and Finishing

After the unit is secured, we test the swing, latch, lock, hinges, threshold, and weather seals. We also verify that your door opens and closes smoothly without rubbing or excessive resistance.

The final stage may include trim, hardware, finishing work, and cleanup. Before leaving, our installers check the completed work and make sure you understand how to operate and care for the product.

Why Proper Installation Matters

The performance of a new door depends heavily on the quality of the installation. Small fitting errors can become noticeable problems once the product is exposed to regular use and changing weather.

Greater Comfort

Gaps around an exterior entry can allow drafts and outside moisture into your home. A correctly fitted and sealed product creates a more consistent barrier between interior living areas and exterior conditions.

Reliable Security

Locks and deadbolts work best when the panel, strike plate, hinges, and frame remain properly aligned. Professional fitting provides a stable foundation for your security hardware.

Smooth Everyday Operation

A panel that sticks, swings on its own, scrapes the sill, or refuses to latch may indicate an alignment problem. Precise fitting helps prevent these frustrations and reduces unnecessary stress on hinges and hardware.

Lasting Curb Appeal

Your front entry is one of the first architectural details people notice. The right design can bring siding, windows, roofing, and exterior finishes together while giving your property a more welcoming appearance.

Our team helps you choose the right material, design, glass, finish, hardware, and configuration. We then manage the measurement, ordering, fitting, finishing, and final adjustments, so you are not left coordinating several contractors or solving unexpected problems yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to install a new door?

Many standard replacements can be completed within one working day. Custom units, structural modifications, finishing work, sidelights, or repairs to the opening may require additional time.

Can a new door be installed in an old frame?

Sometimes, but only when the frame is structurally sound, correctly sized, square, and compatible with the new panel. A full prehung replacement is often better when the frame is damaged, distorted, or poorly sealed.

What is included in professional door fitting?

The work may include removing the old materials, inspecting and preparing the opening, setting the new unit, securing and insulating the frame, adjusting hardware, installing trim, testing operation, and cleaning the work area.

Should I choose fiberglass or wood?

Fiberglass is durable, versatile, and generally easier to maintain. Wood provides natural character and can be highly customised. The best choice depends on your preferred appearance, maintenance expectations, exposure, and budget.

Why does my current door stick or refuse to close?

Common causes include frame movement, loose hinges, moisture-related swelling, worn hardware, foundation settling, or an out-of-square opening. An inspection can determine whether an adjustment, repair, or replacement is appropriate.

Do you provide custom-sized doors?

Yes. MOSS DOOR Company offers custom solutions for unusual dimensions, distinctive styles, specialised glass, and entry configurations that may not suit standard products.
