The Top 3 Reasons to Hire A Professional To Install Custom Doors

CAN I JUST PURCHASE CUSTOM DOORS AND INSTALL THEM MYSELF?

Custom doors are available in a variety of styles, as well as different types of materials. They’re also the kind of thing that people like to talk about, especially when you’re trying to find a perfect blend of beauty and practicality for your home. But regardless of how well made your doors happen to be, there’s one thing that can easily ruin your entire lineup – installation. If you’ve ever had a door installed in your home, you know how much of a tedious process it can be. But if you are still adamant about installing your new custom doors, here’s some advice to help you out.

CAN YOU PURCHASE CUSTOM DOORS AND INSTALL THEM YOURSELF?

Yes, you can – with a little planning and a lot of determination, you might be able to master it. But there are a few things you need to consider before you begin. First off, you need a plan. And an understanding of what it takes to install a door, or a full line of doors, is a good place to start. Proper tools are also essential. Make sure you have the bits, screws, glue, and all the other tools you think you might need on hand to get the job done. Make sure that you also have the time to get the job done—most door models require around two hours of labor—that only if you have proper tools and equipment and you don’t get caught up in any unforeseen complications. And finally, your installation will be just as good as your doors. But what if you mess up? I mean, what happens if you accidentally break a brick or scar the wall in the process of installing your handmade custom doors? Are you ready for this? If not, professional help is here for you!

REASONS WHY TO HIRE PROFESSIONALS TO INSTALL CUSTOM DOORS

Installing any door, custom or otherwise, can be quite the challenge—but installing doors that are especially long, complicated, and/or heavy, can be downright nightmarish. So, if you want to keep things simple, there are three good reasons why you should consider hiring professionals to install your new custom doors.

1. YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
No matter how good you think you can be, there are one thing that you will most likely never master—years of experience. And if your job requires you to install custom doors, there’s no better way to get the job done right than by hiring a professional to help you out. With years of experience installing doors, specialists will know exactly what tools to bring, the proper procedure to follow, and how to avoid getting themselves into trouble while you’re at it.

2. TOOLS
Professionals always carry the very best tools for the job. Your new custom doors—no matter how expensive or elaborate they are—will require the best tools to be installed. Most will need strong, sturdy, quality tools to hold up under the weight, deliver a perfect fit, and ensure a solid grip. Only a professional will have the know-how and supplies to handle a job like this.

3. LICENSED & INSURED
Most professionals from established contractors have a slew of certifications and licenses, making them a legal necessity. Not only will a licensed and insured professional have a plan for your doors, but they’ll also have a plan to keep you safe. With these three things to consider, you’ll feel confident in the work performed in your home.

Hopefully, now you know that as much as you want to, you probably don’t want to install custom doors yourself. In fact, unless you have a lot of experience, there are a few things you have to think about before even giving it a try. So why take the risk? Call a professional and you could have a whole line of custom doors installed in a matter of hours – it could be a whole lot easier than you think!
