So you want to replace your entry door...get what you need with quality door replacements.
When you want to replace your entry door, it’s crucial to do your research and go with a reputable contractor (us!) and a high quality door for installation. There are a lot of fly-by-night companies that will give you a too-good-to-be-true quote and won’t live up to your expectations.

At Trapala Construction, we use only the highest quality materials and send our experienced team of professionals for every job. We believe a new door should last you for many years, so we stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty.
Here are 5 reasons why you shouldn’t work with low-quality, high-discount tactics when it comes to your entry door.
Low Quality Materials
Cheap doors are often made with low-grade wood or metal, which can warp or rust over time. They may also be poorly insulated, meaning you won’t get the same energy efficiency level as you would with a high-quality door.
So before you buy, make sure to compare prices and quality. A good-quality door is worth the investment, and you’ll surely appreciate the difference in energy efficiency. If you've gotten a quote with an unbelievable price or deal, just be sure to do your research about what kind of quality the door actually is.
We offer free consultations so you can find doors that fit your specific needs, and we'll offer you customization options to be sure you're getting the ideal match for you .
Inferior Installation Can Ruin Your Look
It's not just about the quality of the door; it's also about the quality of the installation. A low-cost door replacement may cut corners during the installation process. This can result in an improperly installed door that may break or come loose from its frame. In addition, a poorly installed door can be a safety hazard, as it may fall and cause serious injury.
Limited Warranty Can Leave You Feeling Frustrated
Unfortunately, problems may arise with your new door. If you do have any problems with your new door, we don't let you be on your own in terms of paying for repairs. That’s why Trapala Construction stands behind our work.
We offer no-questions-asked lifetime door warranties, including a labor warranty to cover problems arising from faulty installation. We believe in our work, and we also stand by it in case of issues.
Choose A Proven Process
As anyone who has ever installed a door knows the process can be fraught with potential problems. Most often, these problems arise from misalignment, either of the door itself or the frame it is being installed on. This can cause the door to bind or stick, making it difficult to open and close.
Sometimes, it can even cause the door to come off its hinges entirely. We have a proven process that we follow for each and every project. We will clearly lay out this process for you so it's easy to understand and we'll answer any questions you have about the project.
Customer Service
Sometimes big-box retailers lack specialized knowledge of doors or you may not get the help you need. We offer a high-level of customization and customer service so you know what you get from start to finish and are happy with the results.
Noise Reduction
Do you live close to heavy traffic areas, or do you hear outside noises often? Many times, along with being less efficient insulators, older windows aren’t as capable of reducing outside noise. One of the major benefits of replacing your windows is having a quieter home. This can create a more peaceful and tranquil environment in your household.
So, there you have it...
