We know Burbank’s housing stock. The 1930s and 1940s bungalows south of Magnolia Boulevard, the mid-century ranch homes off Glenoaks, the newer hillside builds above Kenneth Road. Each era has its own door framing quirks, and each neighborhood sits at a different wind exposure level under the 2022 California Building Standards Code. That local knowledge changes how we scope a job.

Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Burbank’s Preferred Door Replacement Company

Juniper Windows & Doors has been installing doors and windows since 2001 as part of the Relay Home Co. family. We’re a window and door specialist, not a general contractor dabbling in a dozen trades. When a Burbank homeowner calls us about a sagging front door or a rotted frame near the Verdugo Wash, they get a crew that works on doors every week, not occasionally.

Every Burbank customer gets the same operating standard: a written line-item price before work starts, a live arrival time they can track, and photo updates before and after the install. No four-hour windows. No estimate that morphs into a surprise invoice at the door. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, so the person walking through your front door is someone you can verify.

Sean Mackey leads our team with a straightforward expectation: if a door install isn’t done right, we return and fix it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Parts and labor, covered in writing for a full year. That applies to every Burbank project, from a simple slab swap to a full frame rebuild with permit and inspection.

Door Contractors in Burbank

Door contractors in Burbank handle more than hanging a door on its hinges. A proper exterior door replacement means removing the old slab, assessing the rough opening, checking the jamb and threshold for rot or out-of-square framing, installing the new door with correct reveal gaps and shims, sealing the perimeter, and reinstalling or replacing hardware. In Burbank, it also means pulling a building permit when the work alters the exterior opening.

In Burbank, a standard single entry door replacement generally runs $900 to $2,600 for a pre-hung steel or fiberglass door. When a homeowner upgrades to an impact-rated Therma-Tru or PGT product with a laminated glass interlayer, the price typically lands between $2,200 and $4,200. A full frame replacement that includes new jamb stock, stucco patch, and repaint adds $800 to $1,700.

Pre-Hung Door Installation

Most Burbank homes need a pre-hung door, meaning the slab arrives already attached to a new frame. This solves alignment problems that slab-only swaps can’t fix. We set the unit square in the rough opening, shim it, verify the reveal gaps are consistent, then seal and weatherstrip. It is the most common path on 1940s and 1950s homes in Burbank where the original jamb has settled or rotted.

Multipoint Locking and Hardware Upgrades

A door is only as secure as its hardware. On Burbank exterior doors we frequently recommend a multipoint locking system, especially for homeowners near major corridors like Burbank Boulevard or Victory Boulevard where foot traffic is higher. We work with the hardware preps on PGT and Therma-Tru products, and our techs can swap standard deadbolts to code-compliant hardware while the permit is open.

Door Frame Repair in Burbank

Door frame repair in Burbank often comes down to the age of the house. Homes built between the 1920s and 1950s in neighborhoods like Magnolia Park and the Chandler Bike Path corridor frequently have original wood jambs that have absorbed decades of sprinkler overspray, morning dew, and the occasional leaking downspout. The door itself might look fine; the frame underneath is what fails.

For a minor jamb repair on a single side of the frame in Burbank, expect $180 to $450. If the sill or threshold is rotted and needs replacement with a composite or aluminum version, plan on $300 to $700. A full frame rebuild with new jamb stock on both sides, new brickmold, and exterior sealing typically runs $900 to $1,600. These are line-item prices we put in writing before any cutting starts.

Rotted Jamb and Sill Replacement

We recently replaced a failed Therma-Tru entry door on a 1940s bungalow near Magnolia Park, where the original wood jamb had rotted from years of sprinkler spray. Our tech installed a new impact-rated door with a laminated glass interlayer and reinforced frame, then coordinated the final inspection with Burbank’s building department. The homeowner noticed a quieter street and no more draft within a week. That is a typical frame repair scenario in Burbank: the visible problem is a sticking door; the real problem is what the jamb looks like once it is opened up.

Out-of-Square Openings and Shimming

Old Burbank houses settle. A door that scrapes at the top in summer and swings open by itself in winter is often a sign the rough opening is no longer square. We correct this with careful shimming and, where needed, a custom jamb extension. Patching over the symptom without fixing the opening means the new door fights the frame from day one.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burbank

We stock and install doors from PGT, CGI, and Therma-Tru for Burbank projects, along with ES Windows when the job calls for a specific sightline or glass package. Having local access to these product lines means we can match an existing Therma-Tru on a Burbank bungalow without waiting on a cross-country freight order. If a Burbank home sits near the Verdugo Wash channel where wind gusts run higher, we will spec a PGT or CGI impact-rated unit with the correct design pressure rating for the address. We also service and replace doors originally installed by other contractors across Burbank, provided the product line is one we carry.

Because we dispatch from the Los Angeles office and schedule Burbank crews locally, parts and hardware reorders come in faster than a national outfit routing through a warehouse in another state. Our partnership with these manufacturers means warranty claims get processed directly, and we stock common replacement thresholds, weatherstripping, and multipoint lock parts for Burbank homes.

Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Burbank Homes

• Drafts and air leakage around the door perimeter. Burbank sits in a higher-wind zone under the 2022 California Building Standards Code, and older weatherstripping fails faster here, especially on homes near the Burbank Boulevard corridor where the Verdugo Wash creates a wind tunnel effect. A new compression weatherstrip and a properly sealed threshold usually cuts the draft immediately.
• Rotting door frames from irrigation overspray. In flat-lot neighborhoods like Magnolia Park and the streets east of Buena Vista, sprinkler heads sitting too close to the entry door slowly destroy the bottom of the jamb and sill. We replace the wood with rot-resistant composite stock and advise homeowners to adjust spray patterns.
• Sticking doors from foundation settling. Homes built in the 1930s and 1940s across Burbank have settled enough that original door openings are no longer square. Replacing the slab without correcting the opening leaves you with a door that binds in the frame within a season.
• Unpermitted door swaps from previous owners. We run into this frequently in Burbank: a homeowner bought a house and later discovered the previous owner replaced an exterior door without pulling a permit. If the opening was altered, the current owner may need to bring it up to code before selling or refinancing. We handle that correction, including the Burbank building department inspection.
