Install a Wooden Storm/Screen Door | |
A carpenter will install an average-size, quality-grade wooden storm/screen door for $230. If you have basic carpentry skills, you can do the job yourself for $180, the cost of the door, saving 22 percent. Only basic carpentry tools, including a carpenter's level and shims to align the door in the jamb, are needed. You'll find a good selection of door styles at a building-materials supplier. Bring a sketch of the existing door and the exact measurements of your opening. Before hanging the new door spend time sprucing up the door jamb. Remove the old storm door, patch the holes in the jamb and give it a fresh coat of paint. Then install the new door. |
