Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

Why should Dallas homeowners choose Your New Door?

Accepted Answer

We are locally owned and operated right here in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with deep experience serving homeowners across Dallas County and nearby cities. Because we both manufacture and install doors ourselves, we deliver quality, cost savings, and personalized service throughout every step of the project with no subcontractors.

Question 2

What kinds of doors do you work on?

Accepted Answer

We work on all residential interior and exterior doors, including standard entry doors, patio doors, French doors, sliding doors, custom-built doors, pet doors, weatherstripping, and door rot repair. If your door is damaged, misaligned, drafty, or simply outdated, we can repair or replace it with a door built for Dallas weather and home styles.

Question 3

How much will a new front or patio door cost for my Dallas home?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on material, size, finish, hardware, and design choices. Front doors in the U.S. often range from several thousand dollars or more for premium materials and custom options, and our team will walk you through your options and provide a detailed quote.

Question 4

Is my door a standard size or do I need a custom door?

Accepted Answer

Most doors are between 32 to 36 inches wide and 80 to 96 inches tall, but many older Dallas homes or remodeled openings fall outside this range. If your door opening is non-standard, we can craft a custom-sized door to fit precisely.

Question 5

Can I Design my own front door for my Dallas home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can bring inspiration from photos such as Pinterest or Houzz, or simply describe your vision, and our expert designers will help you create a door that fits your taste, architectural style, and budget.

Question 6

Should I repair or fully replace my door?

Accepted Answer

That depends on how severe the issues are and your long-term goals for comfort, security, and energy efficiency. Simple issues like sticking, drafts, or misalignment can often be repaired, but in many cases a new door offers longer-lasting performance and improved curb appeal, and we will explain the pros and cons based on your specific situation.

Question 7

Do you provide estimates if I live in Dallas or surrounding suburbs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We often provide over-the-phone or virtual estimates using photos you send us, so you do not need to wait for an in-home visit just to get pricing.

Doors installed by Your New Door come with a clear warranty program to protect your investment in both craftsmanship and performance. You can also submit a work order online if any covered issue arises.

Question 9

Do I need building permits for things like window-to-door conversions in Dallas?

Accepted Answer

Generally, simple patio door or entry door replacements do not require permits, but altering a window into a doorway may involve local building code compliance. We recommend confirming with the City of Dallas building department if you are unsure, and we can also help guide you through what is typical for the area.
