    Doors to the outside

    Count the entry doors and patio doors you want replaced, then set your budget for each kind of door. A count of zero skips that door — the estimate needs at least one door in total, inside or out.

    $300 per door
    • Stock door from Lowe's, Home Depot or Menards. A steel utility door is the cheapest that still works, but not the worst. It may not come in the swing you need, it still has to be ordered, and it is a door you maintain.

    A door swap is simple work. The door is not. Stock doors from Lowe's, Home Depot or Menards top out around $1,500; above that every door is custom, and hundreds of choices — lites, jamb width, swing, glass, material, finish — move the price. The same install can carry a $1,200 custom door or a $20,000 one, and more is possible. The slider is your door budget, not a quote: the install part of the price is the same crew, the same hour of management and the same haul-off whatever the door costs.

    $1,000 per door
    • Vinyl 6-foot sliding patio door from Lowe's or Home Depot — the cheapest that works runs about $1,000, and it still has to be ordered.

    We can only give a general price without seeing the door. Patio doors have too many choices to price from a form — size, panel count, glass, finish; the slider is your patio door budget, not a quote.
