Common issues include visible daylight around the frame, drafts near the threshold, sticky locks, misaligned hardware, rotted jambs or trim, outdated curb appeal, poor insulation, and doors that no longer feel secure.

Frequently Asked
Questions about this project
How long does a front door replacement take in Oakland, CA?+
Most Oakland front door replacements are completed in a single day, including removal of the old door, prep of the rough opening, installation of the new pre-hung system, weatherstripping, hardware, and finish trim.
Why replace the whole front door system instead of just the slab?+
The slab, frame, threshold, weatherstripping, sweep, hinges, and hardware are engineered to work together. Replacing the complete pre-hung system gives a much better seal, alignment, and security than swapping only the slab onto an aged frame.
What warranty comes with a Therma-Tru front door project from AMG Doors & Windows?+
Every Oakland front door project we install carries the manufacturer's product and finish warranty plus AMG Doors & Windows' 15-year workmanship warranty on the installation itself.
Is AMG Doors & Windows licensed for front door work in Oakland and Alameda County?+
