A door that drags, leaks air, won’t latch, or just makes your entry look tired is more than an annoyance in Peachtree Corners. It’s energy leaking out, rain working its way in, and — for a front door — the first thing everyone sees from the street. The question homeowners ask us is simple: what will a new door actually cost, installed, not just the price on the shelf at the store?
Peachtree Corners has a lot of homes built in the 1970s through 1990s around Peachtree Industrial, Spalding Drive, and the neighborhoods feeding into Wesleyan and Norcross High. Those original doors are reaching the end of their life at the same time: steel doors rusting at the bottom edge, wood doors swelling in Georgia humidity, and patio sliders that need two hands and a shoulder to open. Here’s what replacement really runs in 2026, and how to spend the money in the right order.
Door Replacement Costs in Atlanta for 2026
These are installed ranges for Peachtree Corners and the Atlanta area — door, labor, new trim and weatherstripping where needed, and disposal of the old door.
- Interior door replacement: $250 to $550 per door, including a standard pre-hung or slab door, hinges, and knob set.
- Front entry door, steel or fiberglass, pre-hung: $650 to $1,800 installed for most homes; decorative glass, sidelights, or a double door can push it to $2,000 to $3,500.
- Storm door addition: $350 to $700 installed.
- Sliding patio door replacement: $1,200 to $2,800 installed for a standard 6-foot vinyl or aluminum unit.
- French patio doors: $1,800 to $3,500 installed.
- Garage entry / side door: $550 to $1,100 installed.
- Just the labor to hang a door you already bought: typically $200 to $400, if the door and frame are a true match — which, honestly, they often aren’t, so measure twice before you buy.
Why the wide ranges? Size, material, and frame condition. Replacing a door into a solid, square frame is straightforward. If the jamb is rotted at the floor — very common where a porch or stoop splashes rain back at the door — we replace that section or the whole frame, which adds cost but is the difference between a door that seals for 20 years and one that sticks by next summer.
Choosing the Right Door for a Georgia Home
For front doors, fiberglass is the sweet spot for most Peachtree Corners homes. It doesn’t rust like steel, doesn’t swell and rot like wood, takes paint or a wood-grain stain finish well, and insulates better. Steel is the budget-friendly, secure choice, but plan on keeping the bottom edge painted — that’s where rust starts. Real wood looks best on the traditional brick homes in this area, but it needs a covered entry and regular sealing on the sun-facing side.
For patio doors, look at the track and rollers first if yours is hard to slide. Sometimes a $150 to $250 roller and track repair saves a door that still seals fine. Replace it when the frame is warped, the glass seal has failed, or the lock no longer keeps it square in the opening.
For interior doors, the biggest upgrade for the money is replacing hollow, damaged slabs in a batch. Doing four or five interior doors in one visit brings the per-door cost down, and adding new hinges and knobs at the same time makes the whole hallway feel renovated for a fraction of a remodel.
And don’t skip the boring parts: new weatherstripping, a proper threshold, and a door sweep. In our climate, that $50 of sealing is what keeps cooled air in during a Georgia August and keeps water out during a storm.
What Installation Day Looks Like
We remove the old door and trim, inspect the rough opening and subfloor at the threshold for rot or water damage, set the new pre-hung unit level, plumb, and square, shim and fasten it, insulate the gap, install the lockset and hardware, fit trim, and test the swing and latch several times. A single entry or interior door is usually a half-day job. Patio doors and doubles can take most of a day, especially if the opening needs framing repairs.
Our advice before you shop: let someone measure first. Doors are sold by nominal size, old Peachtree Corners frames are not always nominal anymore after decades of settling, and a door that is a quarter-inch off is a return trip, not a bargain.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a front door in Peachtree Corners?
Most steel or fiberglass entry doors cost $650 to $1,800 installed, including the pre-hung door, trim, weatherstripping, and hardware fitting. Doors with sidelights or decorative glass cost more.
Can you install a door I bought myself?
Yes, labor is usually $200 to $400 if it fits the existing frame correctly. We recommend confirming the size, swing, and bore before buying — wrong-swing doors are the most common problem we see.
My door sticks every summer. Do I need a new door?
Not always. Sticking is often swollen wood, loose hinges, or a settled frame, and an adjustment or planing repair can fix it. Replace the door when it’s cracked, rotted, rusted through, or no longer seals even after adjustment.
How long does door replacement take?
A single interior or entry door is typically 2 to 4 hours. Sliding or French patio doors usually take 4 to 7 hours, longer if there is frame or floor rot to repair.
Which is better for Atlanta, steel or fiberglass?
For most homes, fiberglass. It resists Georgia humidity, doesn’t rust, and holds a finish longer. Steel costs less up front and is very secure, but needs paint maintenance, especially at the bottom edge.
Do you replace doors in townhouses and condos?
Yes, we work on all home types in Peachtree Corners, including townhouses and condos, and we can match HOA exterior requirements for color and style.
