Door Installation & Replacement in Kennesaw, GA
Replacing a worn exterior door, upgrading to French doors or working through a damaged jamb? Handy Andy's helps Kennesaw homeowners with door installation, repairs and the surrounding carpentry needed to finish the opening.
Start with the door and the opening around it.
A door that sticks or lets in a draft may need an adjustment, new weatherstripping or a more involved repair. A deteriorated frame or a planned change in size can call for replacement and carpentry. Tell us what you are seeing and what you want changed so we can review the right scope.
A replacement should fit the home and the existing opening.
Choosing the door is one part of the project. We also consider the frame, threshold, trim, hardware and surrounding finishes so the installation scope accounts for more than the door slab.
- Exterior entry door replacement
- Interior door installation and replacement
- Prehung door installation
- Door slab replacement where the existing frame is suitable
- Hinges, locksets and related hardware installation
- Interior casing and exterior trim work
If you have already selected or purchased a door, send the product details and opening measurements before installation is scheduled. Slab replacements need careful review of size, thickness, hinge locations and hardware preparation.
Think through how the door will work in the room.
Replacing patio doors or installing French doors can change the way a room connects to a deck, porch or backyard. Door swing, clearance, threshold height and the condition of the opening all affect the finished installation.
- French door installation and replacement
- Patio door replacement projects
- Opening changes when included in the project scope
- Surrounding framing and trim repairs
- Interior and exterior finish coordination
For a change in opening size or configuration, we review framing, finish work and any permitting or engineering needs as part of the scope.
A sticking door does not automatically need a new unit.
The next step depends on what is causing the problem. Worn hardware and weatherstripping are different from a deteriorated frame or damage extending into the wall. We can discuss a focused repair or a replacement based on the condition and your goals.
Focused Door Repairs
- Door fit and hinge adjustments
- Latch and strike alignment
- Weatherstripping and sweep replacement
- Localized jamb and brickmould repairs
- Trim and finish repairs around the opening
Reasons to Consider Replacement
- Extensive deterioration of the door or frame
- A unit that no longer suits the intended use
- A planned change in door style or configuration
- Multiple components requiring substantial repairs
- A larger opening project that includes new framing
A localized repair does not renew the entire door assembly. We discuss the limits of repair-only work before agreeing on the scope.
Finish the surrounding repair as part of the door project.
Removing an old door or damaged trim can expose deterioration that was hidden around the opening. Handy Andy's handles carpentry and framing work as well as installation, so we can discuss the surrounding repairs when they are needed.
- Damaged door jamb and exterior trim replacement
- Localized sill and surrounding wood repairs
- Framing repairs identified during removal
- Brickmould, casing and finish trim
- Painting or staining when included in the agreed scope
If concealed damage changes the work required, we explain what we find and discuss the additional scope before proceeding.

Send a few details before choosing the next step.
Describe the project
Include your Kennesaw address, the door location and what you want repaired or replaced.
Share photos and product details
Text or email views of both sides, the threshold and any damaged areas. Include product information if you have selected a new door.
Review the scope
We may request more information or arrange a site visit. Measurements and opening conditions need confirmation before ordering.
Planning the installation and surrounding work.
Can you install one replacement door?
Yes. A single exterior or interior door can be a suitable project. Send the location, photos and any product details so we can review the work.
Can I supply the door?
We can discuss installation of a homeowner-supplied door after reviewing its size, configuration and suitability for the opening. Confirm the details before purchasing whenever possible.
Can you replace only the slab?
Sometimes. The existing frame must be suitable, and the slab dimensions, hinges and hardware preparation need to match. In other situations, replacing the complete unit is more practical.
Do you repair rotten jambs and exterior trim?
Yes. Localized jamb, brickmould and surrounding carpentry repairs may be appropriate. The extent of deterioration and condition of the remaining unit determine the scope.
Is painting or staining included?
Only when it is listed in the agreed scope. Door supply, hardware, painting or staining and surrounding finish repairs should be identified before the work begins.
What should I send about my Kennesaw door project?
Send the project address, a description of the issue, views from both sides and close-ups of damage. If a replacement is selected, include the product details and available measurements.
