AfterFast, Reliable Door Replacement Across Florence-Graham
Door replacement in Florence-Graham runs $900 to $4,200 for most homes, with entry door slabs starting around $900 to $1,800 installed and full frame-and-jamb replacements on pre-1960 stucco houses landing between $2,200 and $4,200. The price swings on two things: whether the existing jamb is sound enough to reuse, and whether you need a permit pulled through LA County Building and Safety rather than a city counter. We work throughout Florence-Graham, from the Florence Avenue corridor up to Graham Avenue and over toward the 710 side, and we quote every job in writing before anything gets ordered. Call (682) 281-2168 to get a fixed number for your door.
Why Juniper Windows & Doors Is Florence-Graham’s Preferred Door Replacement Company
We have replaced enough doors in Florence-Graham to know what hides behind the stucco. Homes here were mostly built before 1960, which means rough openings that were framed for a wood jamb that has since swollen, twisted, or been patched with layers of stucco repair. A door that looks like a standard 36-by-80 is often nothing of the sort once the casing comes off. Our Door Replacement team measures the actual opening, not the nominal one, and builds the jamb to match. That is the difference between a door that closes tight for twenty years and one that binds by spring.
Sean Mackey leads our Florence-Graham crews, and every technician who shows up at your door for our Window Installation in Florence-Graham or door projects is background-checked and uniformed. You know who is walking in before they knock. The work is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something is not right within a full year, parts and labor are covered in writing. No argument. No second invoice.
Reviews from Florence-Graham customers repeatedly mention the same thing: the written price held. We quote the job, you approve it, and that number does not move unless we find something structural behind the wall and you approve the change in writing first. That is how it should work everywhere, but it rarely does.
Door Contractors in Florence-Graham
Door contractors in Florence-Graham handle the full swap: removing the old slab, assessing the jamb and threshold, squaring the rough opening, hanging the new door, and resetting weatherstripping so the seal actually holds. A straightforward slab replacement on a house where the jamb is still square typically costs $900 to $1,800. Once the jamb needs rebuilding, which it often does on pre-1960 stucco homes here, the job moves into $2,200 to $4,200 territory and requires a permit through LA County Building and Safety.
Entry Door Slab Replacement
When the jamb is solid and only the door itself has failed, we pull the old slab, mortise the hinge pockets on a new fiberglass or steel door, and hang it with a fresh threshold. This usually takes one visit. Most Florence-Graham homes get Therma-Tru fiberglass because it handles the sun off Florence Avenue without warping the way wood does.
Full Jamb and Frame Rebuild
When the rough opening is out of square, a new slab alone will never latch properly. Our crew tears out the old jamb, reframes to the true opening, and burns in a new jamb that matches the existing stucco depth. This is the job that stops a door from jamming every winter when the moisture shifts.
Door Frame Repair in Florence-Graham
Door frame repair in Florence-Graham usually means rebuilding the bottom six inches of a jamb that has rotted where sprinklers soaked the threshold, or refastening a frame that pulled away from the stucco after decades of settlement. A simple jamb repair on one side runs $250 to $700. A full jamb replacement with threshold reset lands between $800 and $1,600 depending on how much of the old framing is salvageable.
Threshold and Bottom Jamb Repair
In Florence-Graham, sprinkler overspray and clay soil movement take a toll on the bottom of the door frame. We replace rotted jamb legs with pressure-treated stock, reset the threshold, and reflash the sill so water cannot wick back in. Most repairs take half a day.
Out-of-Square Opening Correction
Pre-1960 Florence-Graham houses settle. Stucco hides it until the door starts dragging on the latch side or daylight shows at the top corner. We correct the opening with a custom jamb, which is faster and cleaner than trying to plane the slab into submission. You get a door that closes like it is supposed to.
Trusted Brands We Service in Florence-Graham
We stock and service PGT, Therma-Tru, and CWS product lines for Florence-Graham customers, and we keep common jamb materials and thresholds on hand so a replacement is not waiting on a freight truck from Texas. If you want an impact-rated PGT entry door for a home near the 710, we can price it and order it without a markup surprise. Therma-Tru fiberglass is our go-to for pre-1960 stucco houses because it does not twist in the dry heat the way solid wood does. Our Door Replacement in Florence-Graham service covers all three brands with factory-backed hardware and finish options.
Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Florence-Graham Homes
- Swollen or twisted wood jambs: Decades of sun and moisture cycles warp original lumber in pre-1960 houses until the door stops latching. The fix is a new jamb built to the actual opening, not the original spec.
- Non-standard rough openings: Stucco patching and settling mean many Florence-Graham openings are no longer true 36-by-80. Ordering a standard slab from a photo quote leads to a door that does not fit, and a second trip charge.
- Rot at the threshold: Irrigation overspray in Florence-Graham’s dry climate soaks the sill repeatedly, eventually rotting the jamb legs. We replace the bottom section with treated material and reflash the opening.
- Security concerns on older entry doors: An original wood door with a worn strike plate and a hollow core is an easy kick-in. Swapping to a solid fiberglass or steel slab with a reinforced jam fixes both the look and the vulnerability.
Pricing for Door Replacement in Florence-Graham, CA
A typical entry door replacement in Florence-Graham runs $900 to $1,800 for a slab swap on a sound jamb. A full replacement with jamb rebuild, permit, and threshold runs $2,200 to $4,200. Interior door replacements cost less, usually $350 to $700 per door including labor and basic hardware. What moves the price after the old door is out: the condition of the rough opening and whether rot has spread into the subfloor or sill framing. If we find something structural, we stop and show you photos before any added cost is approved. A written quote means exactly that. Call (682) 281-2168 for a free estimate with real numbers.

FAQs About Door Replacement in Florence-Graham
LA County Building and Safety issues door replacement permits in Florence-Graham because the community is unincorporated Los Angeles County, not its own city. That means the permit path, inspection calendar, and fees follow county rules, not a municipal building counter. We handle the permit paperwork and scheduling for you. Call (682) 281-2168 and we will tell you exactly what your job requires.
Pre-1960 Florence-Graham houses were built with rough openings sized for the lumber available at the time, and decades of settling, stucco patching, and moisture cycles have shifted those openings out of square. A standard 36-by-80 slab will bind or show daylight at the corners. The fix is a custom jamb built to your actual opening. That is standard practice on our Florence-Graham jobs.
Yes, a new entry door with proper weatherstripping and a solid jamb cuts the heat that pushes through gaps in Florence-Graham’s hot, dry summers. Fiberglass and steel slabs also hold up better than original wood doors that warp under direct sun exposure. Most homeowners notice the difference the same afternoon the old door comes out.
A slab swap on a sound jamb takes one visit, usually four to six hours. A full jamb rebuild with permit and inspection runs two to three visits over about a week, depending on the county inspection calendar. We give you a firm timeline in writing before work begins. Call (682) 281-2168 for a schedule based on your specific door.
Two things change the price after the old door is out: rot behind the jamb that spread into the sill or subfloor framing, and a rough opening that is far enough out of square to require additional framing. We show you photos and get written approval before any added cost. The original written quote covers everything else, including minor shimming and jamb squaring.

On a pre-1960 stucco house near the Florence Avenue corridor, we replaced a swollen wood entry door and its jamb where decades of sun had warped the frame enough that the original door no longer latched. We custom-built a new jamb to fit the true opening rather than the nominal one, hung a Therma-Tru fiberglass slab, and reset the threshold. The homeowner finally had a door that closed and locked on its own.
