Exterior doors in Dallas–Fort Worth

Exterior Doors

TrueForm replaces front doors, patio and sliding doors, French doors, and service doors. Your written scope covers the door itself and everything around the opening: the threshold, flashing, trim, siding or masonry repair, hardware, lock, and finish, so the new door looks right from the street and keeps water out.

Written scope

What the written scope for an exterior door covers

The signed proposal controls the actual project; this list is what the proposal is built to answer.

A walkthrough of the opening, with measurements, swing, and the condition of the frame and threshold
Door style, size, glass, hardware, and lock choices, written down by name before the price is final
Flashing and waterproofing at the sill, jambs, and head
Trim, siding, brick, or stone repair around the opening
Paint or stain, so the door arrives finished and matches the house
Haul-away of the old door, and weatherstripping checked and adjusted at the end of the job

Planning checks

The decisions that change the door, the price, and the sequence

Same size or a new opening

Replacing a door in its existing opening is a different job from enlarging the opening or adding one. A wider opening can need a new header, structural review, and a permit, and it brings siding or masonry repair with it. The scope says which job you are buying.

Water at the sill

Most door failures start at the threshold. The scope names the sill pan or flashing, how the new threshold meets the floor inside, and what happens if rot is found in the framing under the old door.

Appearance from the street

Door color, glass, and hardware finish are visible from the curb, and many HOAs review them. Bring your HOA documents if you have them, and the approval step goes into the schedule before the door is ordered.

Direct answers

Questions homeowners ask before the visit

Can you replace both my front door and my patio door?

Yes. Front doors, sliding patio doors, French doors, back doors, and service doors are all part of this service, and they can be scoped together so the hardware, finish, and trim match.

Can you make a door opening wider?

Often. A wider opening needs a new header, which is a structural question, and it usually needs a permit and repair to the siding or masonry and the interior trim. Those items are written into the scope before the price is final.

Can the door be part of a larger exterior update?

Yes. Doors are often scoped with windows, siding, brick or stone repair, paint, and lighting so the water-management details are handled as one assembly instead of by several crews working around each other.
