Professional Front Door Replacement by The Great Handyman
When a home’s front door is damaged, especially on a stucco exterior, it requires skill and expertise to replace it properly.

Recently, we completed a project replacing a steel front door damaged by forced entry, restoring the home’s security and appearance.
Front Door Replacement: A Beautiful Upgrade..
Why Front Door Replacement is Sometimes Necessary
In this particular case, the fire department had to force entry to ensure the home was safe due to a smoke alarm going off while the owners were away. Fortunately, it was a false alarm, but the forced entry caused significant damage. The door jamb was split, and the steel door was left with a noticeable dent, making replacement necessary.
Replacing an exterior door on a stucco home isn’t just about installing a new door—it requires careful handling and expertise to prevent damage to the stucco exterior. Here’s a closer look at the process we followed for this job.
Our Process for Replacing a Steel Front Door with a Stucco Exterior
Assessment and Preparation: We start by assessing the damage and carefully removing the old door from the interior side. This step is crucial for homes with stucco exteriors since attempting to remove the door from the outside can damage the stucco.
Old Door Removal: From inside the home, we dismantle the old door and carefully detach the door jamb, ensuring that the stucco and surrounding structure remain intact. We then prepare the doorway for the new door installation.
New Door Installation: The new steel door is installed from the inside as well, taking special care to align and secure it within the existing door frame. This approach minimizes any risk to the stucco and ensures a snug, weatherproof fit.
Painting and Finishing Touches: Once the new door is securely installed, we paint the interior and exterior of the door, as well as the trim, to match the home’s aesthetic. This step completes the transformation, leaving the entrance looking fresh and well-finished.
