Entry Door Replacement
We replace entry doors of every kind, including doors with sidelites and transoms. You’ll see any damage we find before we fix it. The new unit goes in plumb, level, and square, sealed against air and water, with the exterior trim capped so there’s no bare wood left to rot.

Getting a New Door in Short Hills with Nail Force
Simple, clear, and in writing from the start.
Call or Book Online
Your first step is the easiest one. Get in touch, tell us about the door, and pick a time for us to come look. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Free Door Inspection
Expect a real look, not a quick glance. We check the opening for plumb, level, and square, test for soft wood, and walk you through door styles, glass, and hardware choices.
Written, Itemized Quote
Once you’ve picked a door, we write it all up. You’ll see exactly what’s included and what each part costs, so you can decide with the whole picture in front of you.
Installed Right, Cleaned Up
Finishing right matters. We seal the frame, cap the exterior trim, install and test the hardware, and clean up completely. Then we walk the finished door with you so you know it’s right.
What You Get When You Hire Nail Force
Straight talk, solid installs, and everything in writing.
Every exterior door we install sits on a sill pan with proper flashing, so water that gets under the threshold has somewhere to go besides your floor.
If your door just needs new weatherstrip or a hinge adjustment, we’ll tell you. We don’t sell new doors to people who don’t need them.
Doors from Therma-Tru, ProVia, Masonite, and Jeld-Wen give you real choices in style, material, glass, and hardware finish.
We protect the area, clean up as we go, and haul the old door and all debris away. You won’t be left with a pile in the driveway.
Read our Google reviews. Homeowners talk about straight answers, clean work areas, and doors that finally open and close the way they should.
Before we leave, we open, close, and lock the new door with you and check the weatherstrip. Any questions get answered right there.
Hiring Someone to Replace Your Front Door in Short Hills?
Here’s a quick test for any door installer near you. Ask them to walk you through the install step by step. You should hear about checking the opening, a sill pan, flashing, shimming, low-expansion foam, sealant, and trim. If they skip half of that, the door might look fine for a while and then start leaking or sticking. Also ask to see the quote itemized, and check that they’re licensed and insured.
Nail Force checks every one of those boxes. Licensed and insured, five-star rated on Google, itemized written quotes, and a transferable written workmanship warranty on the installation. We install Masonite, Jeld-Wen, ProVia, and Therma-Tru doors, or the one you already picked out. For a free, no-pressure estimate in Short Hills, call (973) 713-1053.
Front Door and Patio Door FAQ for Short Hills
Plain answers, no sales talk.
Every door job is priced on its own details. The door model and material, glass and sidelites, hardware, and how much repair the opening needs all factor in. We’ll come out for free, measure, and put an itemized number in writing so you know exactly what you’d pay. Start with our door cost calculator if you want a rough idea first.
Your new door is protected by the product warranty from the door maker plus a written, transferable workmanship warranty from Nail Force. We don’t do handshake warranties. Everything is on paper, so you know what’s covered on the door and on the installation, and so does the next owner.
We do. Financing is offered through our financing partner for homeowners who qualify, and it works for entry doors, patio doors, storm doors, and side doors. You’ll still get a free estimate and an itemized written quote first, so you know what you’re financing. Details are on our financing page.
Look for a door installer who is licensed with a NJ Home Improvement Contractor number, carries insurance, gives itemized written quotes, uses a sill pan and flashing on every door, and has strong Google reviews. Nail Force checks every one of those boxes: NJ HIC #13VH14050100, licensed and insured, and five-star rated on Google. Call (973) 713-1053 and compare our quote.
No, a storm door is optional. A well-installed new entry door with good weatherstrip does its job on its own. Some homeowners still like a storm door for a screen and fresh air or extra protection for the entry door. We’ll explain the tradeoffs and let you decide.
A solid fiberglass or steel entry door in a sound frame, with a quality deadbolt and lockset, is the strongest setup for most homes. The frame and fastening matter as much as the door. We fasten every frame to spec, install and test the lockset, and show you how everything works.
Yes, as long as it fits the opening, we’ll install it. Store-bought and online-ordered doors don’t always match the rough opening, so we check size, swing, and jamb depth first. The installation gets the same sill pan, flashing, and sealing as any job. Product warranty stays with you and the manufacturer.
Repair makes sense when the door and frame are still solid. Replacement makes sense when they aren’t. That’s the honest rule we use. At the free estimate we check for rot, test the latch and seals, and look at how the door sits in the frame, then tell you straight which way to go. Call (973) 713-1053.
Yes, and it costs you nothing. The visit includes measuring, a close look at the frame and threshold, samples of door styles, and honest advice on whether you need a new door at all. Afterward you get an itemized written quote. Call (973) 713-1053 to book it.
Steel and fiberglass are both solid choices, so think about looks, upkeep, and location. Fiberglass handles weather well and can pass for real wood. Steel is tough and no-nonsense, great for utility doors. We’ll give you our honest opinion for each opening on your house and show you samples.
