door installation in needham, ma
A front door on a Needham cape has probably been painted a dozen times, and the frame underneath has settled with the house. Plum ProExteriors installs entry doors, storm doors and sliding and French patio doors across Needham, from the postwar neighborhoods of Needham Heights to the older homes around the Center and the new construction replacing them. We are based in Wellesley, so Needham is a short drive for the estimate and for the crew.

Most Needham entry doors we replace are prehung fiberglass or steel units set into a repaired opening, which solves the drafts, the sticking and the worn sill in one job. Patio doors are usually sliders or French doors replacing a failed aluminum or wood unit. Installation takes a day for most doors. Every job is quoted after we inspect the opening, and the estimate is free.

doors we install in needham
Entry doors
The old door and frame come out, the sill and the rough opening are checked for rot and repaired, and a new prehung unit goes in level and plumb, insulated and sealed to the framing. Sidelights and transoms bring light into a dark front hall; if the opening needs to be widened, we handle the framing, siding and trim. Fiberglass is our most common recommendation, steel is secure and economical, and wood suits some older colonials.
Storm doors
A storm door protects the entry door and adds a second seal in winter. We install full-view and ventilating storm doors matched to the entry door behind them, and we will tell you when a storm door is not a good idea, such as on a dark door in full sun.
Patio doors
Sliding doors and French doors in fiberglass, vinyl and wood, with insulated low-E glass and multi-point locks. Many Needham patio doors from the seventies and eighties have aluminum frames that sweat and rot the sill below; we replace the sill and flash the opening so the new door stays dry.

Fitting doors in older Needham homes
Houses settle, and door openings go out of square. Fitting a new door well in an older home means shimming the frame true, sometimes a custom-size unit, and often repairing the sill where decades of snow have soaked in. We measure for all of that during the estimate, so the door arrives ready to fit. See our front door cost guide, fiberglass vs steel and the types of exterior doors. The calculator above gives a planning range; the free estimate turns it into a measured quote.
one crew for doors, windows and siding
A new door looks finished when the trim and siding around it are finished too. Because we also install windows, siding, roofing, gutters and decks in Needham, we can replace the brickmould, flash the opening and tie into the siding in the same project. See our Needham windows, decks and gutters pages, and our Needham siding and roofing pages.
Sliding or French?
Sliders save floor space and give the widest view; French doors open fully and suit traditional homes. Our guide to sliding vs French patio doors compares them, and our sliding door cost guide covers repair vs replace.
Is it time for a new door?
Drafts, sticking, rot at the bottom rail, fogged glass and a frame out of square are the signs we look for. See signs you need a new front door and what makes an entry door energy efficient.

frequently asked questions
How much does a new front door cost in Needham?
A single entry door starts at $4,830 installed, with sidelights, materials and glass as adjustments. Use the calculator on this page, then book a free estimate.
How long does door installation take?
Most entry and patio doors are installed in one day. Widening an opening or adding sidelights takes longer.
Do I need a permit to replace a door in Needham?
Replacing a door in the same opening generally does not require a permit. Changing the size of the opening may. We confirm with the town when it applies.
Can you replace just the door slab?
If the frame is solid and square, yes. In most older Needham homes a prehung unit seals better and is worth the difference.
What brands do you install?
ProVia entry doors, which carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty plus three years of labor coverage from Plum ProExteriors, along with Andersen and Harvey patio doors.
Can I finance a new door?
Yes. Financing is available on every project.
