Exterior Door Installation & Replacement.
Entry · Patio · Sliding · French · Storm Doors
OJB Solutions installs and replaces exterior doors throughout the Portland metro. We evaluate the existing opening, frame, threshold, flashing, trim, and surrounding conditions before defining the correct installation scope.
What we evaluate on an exterior door project
- ✓ Existing door operation and rough-opening condition
- ✓ Jamb, sill, threshold, and surrounding framing
- ✓ Existing flashing and water-management details
- ✓ Door size, swing, configuration, and hardware needs
- ✓ Exterior trim and interior finish impacts
- ✓ Structural changes or permit requirements when applicable
Door Types
Exterior door systems for your home.
From a single front-door replacement to a larger patio opening, the correct installation depends on the door system, rough opening, surrounding framing, exterior finish, and project requirements.
Entry Doors
Single and double exterior entry-door systems in fiberglass, steel, wood, and other available configurations. We evaluate the frame, threshold, weather seal, trim, and opening before installation.
Sliding Glass Doors
Two-panel and three-panel sliding patio-door systems for decks, patios, and backyard access. Projects may include full-frame replacement, threshold work, trim, flashing, and related repairs.
French Doors
In-swing and out-swing double-door systems for patios, decks, gardens, and other exterior openings. Proper alignment, sealing, hardware, and threshold installation are part of the project.
Storm Doors
Storm-door installation for suitable exterior entry systems, including full-view and screened configurations. Existing trim, frame dimensions, door swing, and clearances are checked first.
Bi-Fold & Multi-Slide
Larger folding and multi-panel door systems for indoor-outdoor openings. These projects may require structural framing changes, header evaluation, engineering, or permitting depending on the existing opening and proposed system.
Doors With Sidelites
Complete entry systems with one or two sidelites and optional transoms. The complete opening is treated as one integrated system for framing, flashing, sealing, and finish work.
Before the New Door Goes In
The opening matters as much as the door.
Exterior-door replacement is not always as simple as removing one door and installing another. The surrounding frame, sill, threshold, flashing, trim, and structural opening all affect the finished installation.
During the estimate, we look for visible deterioration, movement, previous water intrusion, damaged framing, poor alignment, and other conditions that may need to be addressed as part of the project.
If concealed damage is discovered after removal, we explain what was found and document any required scope change before additional work proceeds.
Signs an exterior-door opening may need attention
Door Materials
Fiberglass, steel and wood exterior doors.
Door material is one part of the decision. Style, exposure, finish, security, maintenance, budget, glass configuration, and manufacturer requirements should all be considered.
Fiberglass
Versatile residential option
Fiberglass exterior doors are available in a wide range of styles, glass configurations, textures, and finishes. They are commonly used for entry and patio-door applications.
- Painted and wood-look options
- Multiple insulation and glass packages
- Available in many residential styles
- Low-maintenance options available
Steel
Durable and practical
Steel entry doors can be a practical option when security, simple styling, and budget are important considerations. Finish condition and exposure should be considered during product selection.
- Paintable finishes
- Multiple panel and glass options
- Common residential entry-door material
- Various insulated configurations
Wood
Traditional and architectural
Wood exterior doors offer traditional appearance and a wide range of design possibilities. Species, finish, exposure, maintenance, and manufacturer requirements should all be considered before selection.
- Natural wood appearance
- Custom and traditional profiles available
- Painted or stained finishes
- Regular finish maintenance may be required
Our Process
How an exterior-door project works.
The exact scope varies by door system, opening condition, materials, and structural requirements, but most projects follow the same basic process.
On-Site Estimate
We evaluate the existing door and opening, take measurements, discuss the replacement system, and identify visible conditions that should be included in the proposed scope.
Door Selection
The door configuration, size, material, glass, hardware, swing, and other project details are finalized before ordering or installation.
Removal & Opening Prep
The existing unit is removed and the rough opening is checked. Required framing, sill, threshold, flashing, or other approved repairs are completed before the new system is installed.
Install & Finish
The new door is installed according to the applicable manufacturer requirements, adjusted for proper operation, sealed, trimmed, and tested before completion.

Why OJB Solutions
We look beyond the door itself.
Existing conditions are evaluated first
The door, frame, threshold, flashing, trim, and surrounding opening are evaluated before the scope is finalized so the proposed work reflects the visible conditions we can identify beforehand.
Opening-first approachInstallation details matter
Alignment, fastening, flashing, threshold preparation, weatherstripping, trim, and final adjustment all affect how the completed door operates and performs.
Complete installationClear written scope
We define the approved scope and pricing before work begins. If concealed conditions or customer-approved changes require additional work, they are discussed and documented before proceeding.

Door FAQ
Common exterior-door questions.
Not necessarily. A sticking door can be caused by hinge adjustment, door alignment, frame movement, threshold condition, hardware, or deterioration in the opening. We evaluate the cause before recommending repair or replacement.
Depending on the project and selected product, exterior-door options can include fiberglass, steel, wood, glass patio doors, French doors, storm doors, and specialty multi-panel systems.
Visible deterioration is evaluated during the estimate whenever possible. If concealed damage is discovered after removal, we explain what was found and document any required scope change before additional repair work proceeds.
Permit requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction, and scope of work. Structural changes, changes to an opening, and some other modifications may have different requirements than a straightforward replacement. When a permit is required for work in our scope, OJB Solutions coordinates the applicable process.
In some cases. The existing frame needs to be suitable for the new slab, properly aligned, and in acceptable condition. We evaluate the opening before recommending a slab replacement or complete pre-hung door system.
Yes. We install and replace sliding patio-door systems. The existing frame, track, threshold, rough opening, surrounding finishes, and requested replacement system are evaluated before the final scope is prepared.
Potentially. Enlarging or creating an exterior opening can involve structural framing, headers, exterior finishes, engineering, and permitting. We evaluate the proposed project before defining the scope.
