ccasionally exterior and interior doors cannot be repaired, and expert door replacement is required. When the doors inside your home no longer function as they should, whether they drag along the floor, fail to close smoothly, or simply look outdated, then it can affect both the comfort and appearance of your living space. Likewise, when an exterior door becomes worn, drafty, or difficult to operate, your home’s safety, energy efficiency, and curb appeal can all take a hit.

While our expanded expertise includes professional window repair and replacement, this article focuses specifically on the service homeowners in Kennesaw request the most: interior door replacement and exterior door installation. These two areas require meticulous attention to detail, structural understanding, precise carpentry, and craftsmanship that truly lasts. Our newly added specialist brings all of that and more, elevating the door services offered by M3 Home Repair and Remodeling to the highest professional standard.
Why Interior Door Replacement Matters in Kennesaw Homes
Interior doors may seem simple at first glance, but they play a major role in comfort, privacy, design flow, and noise control. Whether you live in a newer property or one of Kennesaw’s many established homes, your interior doors are used frequently throughout the day. Over time, this constant use causes hinges to loosen, hardware to shift, and frames to settle. Many homes built more than 20 years ago also contain hollow-core interior doors that lack durability, soundproofing, and modern styling.
Replacing old or damaged interior doors can greatly transform the look and feel of your home. Modern doors offer improved sound insulation, stronger construction, and a wide selection of design styles: from sleek flush doors to classic panel doors, craftsman-style designs, barn doors, glass-paneled office doors, and much more. A properly installed interior door opens and closes smoothly, aligns perfectly within the frame, and enhances the aesthetic of the room without sticking, dragging, or rattling.
Our new specialist at M3 Home Repair and Remodeling excels at diagnosing the issues that make interior doors frustrating to use. In many homes around Kennesaw, settling and seasonal humidity changes create subtle frame distortion, causing the door to strike the jamb, scrape the flooring, or fail to latch. Instead of performing quick fixes that only provide temporary relief, we offer full replacement services that ensure long-term performance and a clean, polished finish.
The Interior Door Replacement Process
Replacing an interior door involves much more than simply swapping out the slab. The process begins with a detailed inspection of the existing frame. Our specialist examines the alignment of the jamb, the condition of the hinges, the spacing between the door and frame, and the orientation of the existing opening. If the home has shifted or if the previous installation was not precise, the frame may require adjustment or reinforcement before installing a new door.
After evaluating the frame, the next step is selecting the right door. Homeowners in Kennesaw can choose from a wide variety of door styles, materials, and finishes. Solid-core doors provide improved sound blocking and durability, while hollow-core doors offer affordability and lighter weight. Decorative panel doors, shaker styles, louvered doors, and frosted-glass doors provide personalized visual options for any interior design. Once the door is selected, precise measurements are taken to ensure a perfect fit.
The old door is then removed, along with outdated or damaged hinges and hardware if necessary. The new door is trimmed, planed, or modified as needed, because not every doorway is perfectly square, especially in older homes. The specialist then installs new hinges, aligns the slab within the frame, adjusts the strike plate, and ensures that the door closes effortlessly without rubbing, sticking, or misalignment. The final step includes installing the hardware such as handles, locks, or privacy knobs, followed by cleanup and a final inspection.
The entire process is performed with careful craftsmanship to ensure your new interior doors look seamless and operate flawlessly from day one.
Exterior Door Installation: Protecting Your Home and Enhancing Curb Appeal
While interior door replacement improves the comfort and style of your home, exterior door installation plays a vital role in security, energy efficiency, and visual appeal. An exterior door must be strong enough to deter intruders, sealed well enough to withstand wind and weather, and attractive enough to enhance the front or rear entry of your home.
M3 Home Repair and Remodeling’s new specialist brings many years of experience installing front entry doors, fiberglass and steel exterior doors, patio doors, French doors, and upgraded insulated doors designed for Georgia’s climate. Unlike interior doors, exterior installations require additional steps to ensure proper sealing, threshold installation, insulation, water protection, and long-term structural stability.
The process begins with removing the old door, including the frame if a full unit replacement is needed. Many older homes in Kennesaw have doors that were installed without modern weatherproofing standards, resulting in drafts, leaks, or security vulnerabilities. Once the old door is removed, the rough opening is inspected for rot, structural settling, or moisture damage. If repairs are required, these areas are reinforced before installation continues.
The new exterior door unit is then leveled, squared, and shimmed to perfection. This step is crucial: if the door is even slightly misaligned, it may refuse to latch, allow drafts to enter the home, or cause long-term strain on the hinges. Once the door is secured in place, weatherstripping, insulation, and caulking are applied to seal the door against Georgia’s humidity and seasonal temperature changes. Hardware installation follows, including deadbolts, entry handles, or multi-point locking systems depending on the chosen door.
Finally, the frame trim is installed or replaced, and the area is cleaned thoroughly. A proper installation ensures that your new exterior door looks beautiful, closes solidly, seals tightly, and contributes to improved home comfort and security.
How Long Does Door Replacement and Installation Take?
The time required for door replacement or installation varies depending on door type, home age, and the condition of the existing frame. Interior door replacements typically take between one and three hours per door. This includes removal, preparation, installation, hardware fitting, and final adjustment. If the home’s framing is significantly out of square, additional time may be required to ensure a proper fit.
Exterior door installation usually requires two to five hours per door, depending on whether the entire frame, threshold, and weatherproofing components are being replaced. Complex door units such as French doors or sliding patio doors may require additional time because of their weight, precision requirements, and multi-panel construction.
Regardless of the timeline, M3 Home Repair and Remodeling’s new door specialist takes the time necessary to deliver results that are structurally sound, visually beautiful, and built to last.
