Good Doors Fail in Bad Openings. We Fix the Opening.
Your front door is the one opening you use every day and the first one a burglar tries. Hang a brand-new fiberglass slab in an opening that’s out of square, and it’ll bind, draft, and leave a gap at the latch just like the old one. So we don’t just swap doors. We check the opening, correct what’s wrong, and set the new unit so it seals and locks the way the manufacturer designed it to.
First we check the opening for plumb, level, and square. If the sill or jamb is soft, we show you the rot before anything gets fixed. Then a sill pan and flashing go down so water can’t sneak under the threshold. The new unit is shimmed and fastened to spec, insulated with low-expansion foam that won’t bow the jambs, and sealed. We install the lockset, check the weatherstrip and the swing, and cap the exterior trim so the finished door looks sharp and stays tight for years.
- We rebuild the frame instead of just swapping the slab — that’s what holds the seal
- Shimmed dead plumb so it swings with one finger and seals on all four sides
- Foam-sealed and weatherstripped tight, so your heat stays in the house
- Reinforced strike plate and deadbolt anchored into solid framing — real security you can feel
When Adjusting Won’t Cut It Anymore, Replace the Door
Plenty of door complaints don’t need a new door, and we’ll say so. A tired weatherstrip or a strike plate that’s drifted can often be fixed. But once the sill is rotting, the jambs are racked, or a wood slab has warped, no amount of tweaking will seal it again. At that point a new, properly flashed door is the fix that lasts. Watch for these signs:
- Daylight showing around the door edges when it’s shut
- Cold drafts you can feel even with the door closed and locked
- A door that fights you to latch, lock, or close flush
- Rot, cracks, or peeling paint on the door or frame
- Water stains or swelling on the inside of the door
- Heating bills that keep climbing for no clear reason

How Our Entry Door Installation Works
A properly installed door swings shut with a light push and seals all the way around. A bad one fights you every morning. This is how we get it right, from your first phone call to the last walkthrough, with one company answering for it and every promise in writing.
Free Estimate
We measure the opening, check the frame and sill for rot and square, and walk through your choices: fiberglass or steel, glass, sidelights, color, and hardware. You get a straight recommendation, including whether a repair would do the job instead.
Written Quote
Before we order a thing, you get a written, itemized quote that spells out the door and any rot repair we found and photographed. You know exactly what you’re paying for, with nothing sprung on you later.
Installation
Out comes the old door. We correct the opening, lay the sill pan and flashing, then set the new unit plumb, shimmed and fastened to spec, foamed with low-expansion insulation, and sealed. That prep is why it stays tight.
Walkthrough
We test the lock and deadbolt, check the weatherstrip for daylight, cap the trim, haul the old door away, and clean up. Then we walk you through the finished door and hand over your written warranty.
The Install Is What Makes a Door Last
A gorgeous door set in a leaky, crooked opening gives you a false sense of security and a cold front hall. How the door is flashed, shimmed, and sealed decides whether it actually protects your home or just looks nice from the street.
A deadbolt only holds if the door is set true and the strike lines up. We fasten to spec so it latches solid.
Water that gets under a threshold rots the sill from below. A sill pan and flashing keep it out.
Your entry door is a big air-leak spot. Foamed and sealed properly, it keeps heat in and drafts out.

Don’t see your question? Call us and get a straight answer.
We protect the floor, take out the old door, and check the opening, showing you any rot before it’s repaired. Then the sill pan and flashing go in, and the new door is shimmed, fastened to spec, foamed, sealed, and fitted with its lockset. Your home is closed up and locking before we leave.
Often, yes. Adding sidelights usually means widening the opening, and a transom means working above the door, so it takes framing work to do right. We look at the wall during your free estimate and tell you plainly what’s possible. Call (973) 713-1053 to set it up.
We sell and install ProVia, Therma-Tru, Masonite, and Jeld-Wen doors. We can also install a door you’ve already bought. Any good brand only performs as well as it’s installed, so we help you pick the right line and then set it to the maker’s spec.
Most of our entry door jobs are a full pre-hung unit, meaning a new slab, frame, hinges, weatherstrip, and threshold together. If your frame is solid and square, a slab-only swap can work, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Usually, though, the full unit gives you a tighter, longer-lasting seal.
Yes. We cap the exterior trim and seal the joints so water can’t get behind it. The goal is a door that looks like it came with the house, with clean lines and no gaps. Trim is part of the install, not an afterthought.
Yes. We install storm doors on their own or with a new entry door. A good storm door adds a layer against wind and rain, and we hang it square and seal it so it closes quietly and stays latched.
Yes. Nail Force is a registered New Jersey Home Improvement Contractor, HIC #13VH14050100, and we carry commercial general liability insurance. Ask and we’ll send a certificate of insurance before any work starts. Any contractor you hire should be able to show you both.
