Door Replacement in Moraga - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Fast, Reliable Door Replacement Across Moraga

Door replacement in Moraga typically runs $2,800 – $7,400 for an exterior entry door with installation, depending on material, glass package, and whether the existing jamb needs rebuilding. Most Moraga projects take 4 – 8 weeks from order to final inspection, not because the work is slow, but because the town’s building department has a specific review sequence that takes time. We coordinate that whole process for you, and our crews serve Moraga homes directly from the San Francisco Bay Area office. When you call (682) 281-2168, you’ll reach a live person who can schedule your free estimate and walk you through exactly what your door project will involve.

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

Sean Mackey leads our team with a straightforward rule: write the price down before any work starts, then honor it. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, in writing on every project. If something isn’t right on a Moraga door install, we fix it for a full year, parts and labor included. No charge for a second visit, no argument.

Moraga homeowners tend to be exacting, and they should be. The homes here, many built in the 1960s and 1970s across neighborhoods like Sanders Ranch, Rheem Valley, and the Rancho Moraga area, have framing and thresholds that don’t always match modern door units. Our installers know what to look for before the old door comes out. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up with a live arrival time you can track, and you get before-and-after photos of the work. That’s the Relay Visibility Guarantee, and it’s standard on every job we do in Moraga.

Door Installers in Moraga

Door Installers in Moraga handle the physical swap: removing the old slab and jamb, inspecting the rough opening, installing the new pre-hung unit, sealing, flashing, and trim. On a 1970s ranch near Camino Pablo or a newer build off Rheem Boulevard, that process looks different. Older framing rarely matches a stock door’s dimensions, and the town’s inspection card requirement means the installer has to document egress clearances and header condition before final sign-off.

A basic slab swap with an existing sound jamb in Moraga starts around $1,900 – $3,200. A full pre-hung replacement with new jamb, threshold, and exterior trim runs $3,400 – $6,800. Our fixed pricing means the number on your written quote is the number you pay, unless we uncover hidden rot in the subfloor or jamb, which we’ll show you with photos before any change order is discussed.

We replaced a failed Therma-Tru fiberglass entry door at a 1970s ranch on Camino Ricardo where the original wood jamb had rotted and the threshold was letting in winter rain. We re-flashed the sill pan, upgraded to a multi-point lock, and swapped in a low-E insulated glass unit with laminated glass interlayer for the sidelite. The homeowner also asked us to match the impact-rated glazing to the existing windows, which we did after confirming the design pressure rating matched the town’s wind exposure. Two weeks later, the door passed Moraga’s final inspection with no corrections.

Full Pre-Hung Door Replacement

This is the most common job in Moraga, especially on older ranch homes. We remove everything down to the studs, install a new jamb, threshold, and door slab, then seal and flash the opening so winter rain stays outside. Expect this to run $3,400 – $6,800 on most Moraga homes.

Slab Swap With Existing Jamb

When the jamb is still solid and square, we can replace just the door slab for $1,900 – $3,200. This works well on newer Moraga homes where the original framing was standard. We still verify the rough opening and egress before ordering anything.

Door Contractors in Moraga

Door Contractors in Moraga do more than hang a slab. They manage the permit sequence, coordinate inspections, and make sure the finished opening meets the town’s stricter-than-average egress and header specs. Moraga’s building department requires a separate inspection card for exterior door swaps even when no wall is opened. That’s a distinctive local rule. Orinda does not require the same card. If your contractor misses it, you’ll wait longer for final sign-off, or worse, get flagged and have to re-open the wall.

Our Door Replacement team pulls that inspection card as part of our standard scope on every Moraga exterior door job. We also handle the design pressure calculations when impact-rated glazing is involved. Pricing for contractor-managed projects in Moraga, including permits and inspection coordination, ranges $4,200 – $7,400 for a typical exterior door. If you’re replacing multiple doors at once, the per-door cost drops because the permit and inspection time is already in motion.

Exterior Entry Door Replacement

Entry doors on Moraga’s hillside homes face direct afternoon sun in summer and driving rain in winter months. Fiberglass from Therma-Tru tends to outperform steel here because it won’t dent or rust from moisture exposure. Expect $3,400 – $6,800 installed.

Patio and French Door Replacement

Larger openings with sidelites or French door configurations run $4,500 – $8,500 in Moraga. The added cost comes from the header work and the additional glass area, which the town reviews as part of the egress inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Moraga

We carry eight product lines, which means the right door for a Moraga home is never a compromise. For this area’s climate and housing stock, we often recommend CGI for impact-rated entry doors, CWS for wood-clad patio doors, and Therma-Tru for fiberglass units that stand up to winter moisture. Because we’re part of the Relay Home Co. family with access to local distribution, we can order replacement hardware and glass packages for Moraga customers faster than a contractor pulling from a single line. When you call (682) 281-2168, ask which product line makes sense for your specific opening and exposure.

Common Door Replacement Problems We See in Moraga Homes

• Rotted subfloor and jamb under original thresholds. On Moraga’s older ranch homes, the original wood under the threshold often rots silently for years. We only see it after the old door is pulled, which means a change order you weren’t expecting. We photograph everything and show you before quoting the repair.
• Skipped egress and header inspections. Moraga requires a separate inspection card for exterior door swaps, and skipping it delays final sign-off. If the town asks to verify the header, you could be re-opening a wall that was already finished.
• Stock doors that don’t match 1970s rough openings. Original framing on Moraga homes from the 1960s and 1970s often varies by half an inch or more from modern standard sizes. A stock door ordered without verifying the rough opening leads to a reframing charge that would never happen in a newer Lamorinda subdivision.
• Fogged or failed glass in original door units. We see fogged insulated glass in older door sidelites and transoms throughout Moraga. Replacing the entire door system with a low-E unit from ES Windows or ECO Window Systems resolves it, and the new glazing typically meets current energy code.
