Door Installation Throughout Austin TX
A properly installed door seems simple — but anyone who has lived with a door that drags, rattles, does not latch, or lets drafts in on an Austin summer day knows how important installation quality is. Jay's Construction Contractors installs doors that swing and latch smoothly, seal properly against Austin's heat, and look finished with appropriate interior and exterior trim.
Exterior door installation in Austin requires particular attention to flashing and weather sealing. A poorly flashed door can allow water infiltration into the wall cavity — one of the most damaging and hard-to-detect problems in Austin homes. We flash, seal, and caulk exterior door installations to prevent water intrusion from Austin's occasional heavy rains and driving thunderstorms.
For interior doors, we handle replacement of hollow-core doors that have been damaged, replacement of closet doors with newer sliding or barn-door designs, and installation of French doors to open up interior spaces. We also add or relocate door openings as part of room reconfigurations — framing new openings and installing appropriate headers for non-load-bearing and load-bearing walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of exterior door holds up best in Austin TX?
Fiberglass is the best overall choice — it doesn't warp or crack in Austin's heat fluctuations. Fiberglass doors can be painted or stained to look like wood and come with insulated cores.
Can you install a new door in an existing opening?
Yes. We remove the old door and frame, set the new prehung unit, shim it plumb and square, insulate around the frame, and install interior and exterior trim.
Do I need a permit to replace a door in Austin?
In-kind replacement typically does not require a permit. Adding a new door opening or enlarging an existing one requires a building permit — we handle this.
How much does door installation cost in Austin?
Interior door installation runs $150 to $300 per door for labor. Exterior door installation runs $300 to $600 per door for labor. Door material costs are separate.
