Why Choose Garrett Construction for Door Installation?
A door that binds, drafts, or fails to latch properly is more than an annoyance — it is a security risk and an energy drain. Proper door installation requires precise shimming, correct weatherstripping, and understanding how Minnesota's seasonal movement affects wood and frames. We get it right.
Plumb, Level & Gap-Free
Every door is shimmed plumb and level with consistent, even reveals on all sides. Proper gaps prevent seasonal binding and ensure smooth operation in both January cold and August heat.
Complete Weather Sealing
Proper weatherstripping, door sweeps, threshold adjustment, and foam insulation in the rough opening. No air leaks, no light gaps — your new door will keep Minnesota winters outside where they belong.
Finished & Paint-Ready
Interior and exterior casing, trim, and caulking all included. We leave every door installation complete and paint-ready — not a rough-in job that leaves the finishing to you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Door Installation
How much does door installation cost in Minneapolis?
Door installation costs in the Twin Cities vary by door type. Interior door installation runs $150-$400 per door including labor.

What is the best exterior door material for Minnesota winters?
Fiberglass is the top choice for Minnesota exterior doors. It does not warp, crack, or swell with temperature changes, insulates far better than steel or wood, and requires minimal maintenance. Steel doors are a close second for security and affordability. Wood doors require more maintenance in Minnesota's climate but offer unmatched beauty for high-end applications.
How long does door installation take?
A single pre-hung door replacement typically takes 2-4 hours. A full home interior door replacement of 8-12 doors is usually completed in 1-2 days. New doorway framing and installation takes 4-8 hours depending on whether it involves a load-bearing wall.
Do I need a permit to replace an exterior door in Minnesota?
Replacing an existing door in the same opening typically does not require a permit in most Minnesota municipalities. However, creating a new doorway opening or changing the size of an existing opening does require a permit. We assess permit requirements for every project and pull all necessary permits on your behalf.
Can you install a door I already purchased?
Absolutely. If you have already purchased a door from Andersen, Marvin, Pella, a lumber yard, or a home improvement store, we will install it correctly. We verify the rough opening dimensions, prepare the opening properly, and complete the full installation including casing and weathersealing.
