A door installation isn’t a do it yourself job. One small mistake and you’ll miss out on all of the benefits a properly installed door brings.

When your door isn’t installed properly, there are some major problems that can occur. Poorly installed doors effect your home’s energy efficiency, curb appeal and safety. All of this will cost you more money and devalue your home in the long run.

One of the most obvious problems is your door not fitting correctly. Taking proper measurements is extremely important and isn’t a task that should be taken lightly. You should double or even triple check the measurements before buying a door. It may seem easy to measure your door opening but it’s even easier to mess it up.
