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

Juniper Windows & Doors was founded in 2001 and has spent more than two decades in the Bay Area installing entry doors, patio doors, and full-frame replacements. Sean Mackey leads the team, and every technician who walks up your driveway in Burlingame is background-checked, uniformed, and sober about the details that matter on a Peninsula job: flashing that sheds marine-layer rain, jambs that get back-primed before the slab goes in, and rough openings rebuilt square instead of shimmed into submission.

We don’t ask you to trust us on vibes. Every project gets a written price before any work starts. That price covers the door, the labor, the hardware, the flashing, the cleanup, and the permit coordination if your address needs it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the install: if something isn’t right within a year, we make it right, parts and labor, in writing. No second invoice. Burlingame homeowners won’t hear us quote vaguely and adjust at the door, because that isn’t how Sean runs a crew.

When you call (682) 281-2168, a live person answers. Not a callback queue. That matters when you’re standing in a doorway that won’t latch and the fog is rolling in off the Bay.

Door Contractors in Burlingame

Door Contractors in Burlingame handle everything from swapping a slab to replacing the entire prehung unit, jamb, threshold, and trim. A door replacement here isn’t a generic unbox-and-screw job. The permit path depends on which side of the line your address falls on: hillside and Burlingame Avenue-area homes go through the City’s Building Division, while unincorporated pockets fall under the Burlingame Hills/San Mateo County permitting path. That determines the plan-check queue and which inspection counter you’re dealing with. A proper door contractor knows both routes.

Entry Door Replacement

Most Burlingame entry doors on homes built after 1980 run $1,900 to $4,800 for a fiberglass or steel prehung unit with standard hardware. Older homes in Burlingame Park and Lyon Hoag often need a full-frame replacement once the old jamb comes out, because decades of damp air have done their work behind the casing. Budget $3,800 to $6,800 when the rough opening needs rebuilding.

Sidelite and Transom Packages

If your entry has sidelites or a transom above the door, you’re looking at a larger unit and more glass to spec. These packages land between $4,200 and $8,500 in Burlingame depending on the glass package and whether the sidelite frames are load-bearing. We stock PGT and Therma-Tru configurations that match common Peninsula entry dimensions.

Door Frame Repair in Burlingame

Door Frame Repair in Burlingame is what happens when the door itself is fine but the jamb, threshold, or rough opening has rotted, pulled loose, or gone out of square. On homes near the Burlingame hillside and the Bay-side flats, wind-driven rain finds its way behind unflashed exterior casings and sits there. By the time the door starts dragging or the deadbolt misses the strike plate, the frame damage is usually worse than it looks from the outside. Frame repair in Burlingame runs $850 to $2,200 when the jamb can be salvaged and rebuilt in place. If the rot extends into the structural rough opening, plan on $2,500 to $5,000 for sistering or partial reframing before the new door goes in.

Jamb and Threshold Rebuilds

We cut out the rotted sections, back-prime the new jamb stock, and rebuild the opening to square before hanging the new unit. On a 1940s bungalow off Paloma Avenue in Burlingame Park, our crew pulled a failed Therma-Tru entry door and found dry-rot in the rough opening that had to be sistered before we could set anything. That’s the difference between a door swap and a real repair.

Structural Opening Corrections

When the house has settled or a previous installer shimmed a door into a trapezoid, the opening itself has to be corrected. We reframe, flash, and insulate the rough opening so the new door doesn’t inherit the old problem. This is common on pre-war Burlingame homes where the original framing predates modern building codes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Burlingame

Juniper Windows & Doors has access to eight product lines, and for Burlingame door projects we lean on PGT, Therma-Tru, and CGI most often. PGT impact-rated doors handle the Bay’s wind-driven rain and hold up against airborne debris without shattering. Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors give you the look of wood without the rot problem that plagues older Peninsula homes. CGI’s steel line suits multi-family entries and garage-side doors where security matters. We stock common parts locally for Burlingame jobs, which means a hardware fix or a jamb rebuild doesn’t wait on a slow freight shipment from the East Coast. You see the actual product options and prices before you commit.

Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Burlingame Homes

• Marine-layer moisture behind unflashed jambs. Burlingame’s hillside and Bay-side blocks get consistent fog and wind-driven rain, and doors fail when the rough opening isn’t flashed and the jamb isn’t back-primed before the new slab goes in. We see this constantly on post-war ranchers and hillside builds.
• Lead-safe stops on pre-1978 homes. Burlingame Park and Lyon Hoag tracts include many homes built before 1978, which triggers lead-safe work practices during any door replacement that disturbs painted surfaces. The containment step adds cost and time but keeps your family and the crew safe.
• Dry-rot hiding behind the old casing. When fog and drizzle sit against an exterior door frame for decades, the wood behind the trim rots quietly. The homeowner doesn’t know until the old door comes out and the jamb crumbles.
• Out-of-square rough openings on older homes. Pre-war Burlingame houses shift over time, and a replacement door won’t seal or latch correctly in an opening that’s drifted. Scope and price the correction before demo, not after.
