Have you ever ‘attempted’ do to a DIY project but it did not go quiet how you planned?

Many homeowners can be tempted by the idea of doing it themselves.  After all, door replacement does not look ‘that’ complicated and DYI means not having to pay for labor, right?   Well, there may be more to door replacement than you realize.

• Potential long-term costs:  It is true that you can avoid the cost of labor when you choose the DIY option, but that’s not to say you won’t rack up other costs that you may have been able to avoid by hiring a professional.  Your door or door frame may become damaged during installation, and you may have to purchase a new one or pay for repairs anyway.  If the door doesn’t fit perfectly, you will have to pay to get the right fit.  If it is installed incorrectly, you may have to pay for the repairs in years to come.  Professional door replacement contractors are not only precise in what they do, but they are insured  – Just in case an accident were to happen while they are on the job – they are covered, you are not.
• Proper Insulation & Security:  Your front door provides more than just open and close.  When the door is properly installed, it is a major component of your homes insulation – improperly installed doors could be drafty leading to heat loss that is not only uncomfortable but also costly.  Another reason your door needs to be installed sturdily? Security of course!  The security of your family and belongings depend on a dependable door!  The right door, installed securely, is more likely to hold up against force of intruders trying to kick it in
• Less Stress:  Let’s admit it, DIY projects can be pretty stressful.  It takes time from your busy schedule, and unless you’re a pro, it can be a challenging and frustrating job.  This is why many homeowners enjoy the benefit of not bothering with it at all.  When you hire a professional, like St Clair of the Ozarks, we will do all the work of removing your old door, installing a new one, testing the new one and cleaning up the work area before we leave.  And because we are the experts, you can have the confidence that the job is done right!
