Secure. Stylish. Reliable.
"Trust A1 Handyman for Your Door Needs"
Your exterior door is more than just an entrance—it protects your home, adds curb appeal, and keeps energy costs down. If your door is damaged, drafty, or difficult to open, it’s time to call the professionals at A1 Handyman.
A door is a precision instrument. It should consistently snap into its latch, clear its jamb, and swing effortlessly on its hinges. The fine tolerances needed to achieve this kind of performance helps explain why hanging a door is considered a true measure of carpentry skill.
Faulty exterior doors cause a lot of problems, including allowing robbers and other elements easy access to your home. Both of which can be more costly than installing a new exterior door or having your current door professionally repaired. A1 Handyman Boise (208) 995-6457 can help you determine whether door installation or repair is necessary.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Exterior Door
Not every problem with your door requires a full replacement. Sometimes, minor repairs are all that’s needed to get your door working like new. Here are some signs that you might need a repair instead of a replacement:
- Small cosmetic damage, like scratches or dents, can often be fixed with refinishing or patching.
- A door that’s sticking or misaligned may simply need new hinges or adjustments to the frame.
- If the door frame is damaged but the door itself is in good condition, repairing the frame might be all that’s needed.
However, in some cases, door replacement is the best option:
- If your door is severely damaged, cracked, or warped, it might be time to replace it.
- If your door is old and no longer energy-efficient, a new door can save you money on energy bills.
- If the lock or hardware is outdated or broken beyond repair, installing a new, secure door might be more cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Door Repair and Installation
How do I know if my exterior door needs repair or replacement?
If your exterior door is difficult to open or close, has visible damage (like cracks or warping), or is allowing drafts into your home, it may need repair. In some cases, the door can be repaired, but if it’s beyond fixing or outdated, replacement might be the best option for energy efficiency and security.
How much does it cost to repair or install an exterior door?
The cost for exterior door repair or installation varies depending on factors such as the type of door (wood, steel, fiberglass), the scope of the repairs, and whether any framing or hardware needs to be replaced. Contact us for a free estimate, and we'll provide you with an accurate quote based on your needs and budget.
How long does it take to install a new exterior door?
The time it takes to install a new exterior door depends on the complexity of the installation. Typically, the process takes between 3-6 hours for a standard door replacement. For custom installations or structural adjustments, it may take a bit longer. We’ll ensure the job is done correctly and efficiently.
Can you install custom exterior doors?
Yes, we can install custom exterior doors to match your home’s style and security needs. Whether you’re looking for a unique design, a specific material, or additional features like windows or decorative glass, we can help you find the perfect door for your home.
How can I improve my home’s security with a new exterior door?
Upgrading to a steel or fiberglass door with a high-quality lock system can significantly improve your home’s security. Additionally, installing a door with reinforced frames or security features like a peephole, smart lock, or security bars can offer extra peace of mind.
How do I maintain my exterior door to ensure it lasts longer?
To extend the life of your exterior door, make sure to regularly inspect the door frame for signs of damage, ensure the door hinges are lubricated, and keep the weather stripping intact to prevent drafts. If the door is wooden, consider resealing or refinishing it every few years to protect it from the elements.
