Why Proper Door Installation Matters
Your doors protect your home, improve energy efficiency, and boost curb appeal. Poor installation leads to costly issues over time.
Drafts and Energy Loss
A common issue is poor sealing. Even small gaps raise heating and cooling bills. Proper weatherstripping and insulation solve this problem.
Misaligned Hinges and Frames
Poor measurements result in doors that stick, sag, or won’t latch properly. Precision installation prevents this frustration.
Water Damage and Rot
Chicago’s heavy rains and snow make waterproofing essential. Incorrect flashing and caulking lead to leaks and long-term rot.
Poor Hardware Installation
Loose locks, handles, and hinges not only look bad but compromise security. Always ensure hardware is correctly aligned and tested.
