Types of Doors We Install

Every door in your home serves a specific purpose, from the robust security of your front door to the quiet privacy of a bedroom door. At Future Generation Construction, we install a full range of high-quality doors to meet every need in your Sacramento home, combining beauty, durability, and functionality.

Entry Doors (Fiberglass, Steel, Wood)

Your front door is your home’s focal point and main protection. We offer fiberglass doors that resist damage and need little maintenance, steel doors for strong security and fire resistance, and classic wood doors that add timeless beauty and character.

Each is available in different styles to match your home’s look.

Sliding Patio Doors

Create a smooth connection between your indoor and outdoor living spaces. Our sliding patio doors save space and provide wide views and plenty of natural light without needing room to swing open.

Available in modern and traditional designs, they glide easily and include strong security features for your peace of mind.

French Doors

Add style and character with classic French doors. With multiple glass panes, these doors create a beautiful transition between rooms or to outdoor spaces.

Available as swinging or sliding options, French doors let light flow freely and give your home a grand entrance.

Security & Storm Doors

Add extra protection with our strong security and storm doors. These secondary doors shield your main door from weather damage while providing more insulation and security.

Many models have glass and screen panels you can swap out for different seasons and come in styles that match your entry.

Expert Installation for a Secure, Weatherproof Fit

At Future Generation Construction, we know that even the best door needs proper installation to work right. Our professional installation makes sure your new doors function well, seal completely, and look beautiful for years. Our technicians take pride in their work and attention to detail.

Our Door Installation Process

Step 1: Consultation, Measurement, & Door Selection

We start with a free in-home consultation to understand your needs. Our specialist will take precise measurements and walk you through material, style, and hardware options.

We help you select the perfect doors for your home and provide a detailed quote with no hidden costs.

Step 2: Site Preparation & Old Door Removal

On installation day, our team arrives promptly and prepares the work area, protecting your floors and furnishings.

We carefully remove your existing door and frame, inspecting the opening for any structural issues that need addressing before the new installation begins. All old materials are properly disposed of.

Step 3: New Door & Frame Installation

With the opening prepared, we install your new door and frame with precision.

We ensure everything is level, plumb, and square for proper, long-term operation. Weatherstripping, thresholds, and all components are installed with meticulous attention to detail.

Step 4: Hardware, Finishing, & Final Inspection

We install all hardware, including handles, locks, and accessories. Any necessary trim work and caulking is completed for a clean, finished appearance.

We conduct a thorough inspection of the door’s operation and sealing, and then we clean the work area and walk you through the features, ensuring you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to replace an entry door in Sacramento?

Entry door replacement in Sacramento typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500, depending on the door material, style, and complexity of installation. Fiberglass doors generally range from $1,200 to $2,500 installed, steel doors from $1,000 to $2,000, and wood doors from $1,800 to $3,500. Custom sizes, decorative glass, and premium hardware will increase costs. At Future Generation Construction, we provide detailed, transparent quotes after measuring your door opening to ensure accuracy.

What is the most secure type of front door?

Steel doors offer the highest level of security for residential homes in Sacramento. They resist forced entry with their solid construction and can’t be cut or broken through easily. For optimal security, we recommend steel doors with a solid core, reinforced strike plates, and high-quality deadbolt locks. Fiberglass doors with solid cores also provide excellent security while offering better insulation and resistance to denting and scratching. The installation quality is equally important – even the most secure door won’t perform well if improperly installed.

What are the differences between fiberglass, steel, and wood doors?

Each material offers distinct advantages:

Fiberglass doors are highly durable, energy-efficient, and require minimal maintenance. They resist denting, warping, and cracking, and can convincingly mimic the appearance of wood. Ideal for Sacramento’s climate variations.
Steel doors provide maximum security and fire resistance at a lower price point. They’re extremely durable but can dent and may conduct heat/cold more readily than other materials.
Wood doors offer unmatched natural beauty and can be customized with carvings and details. They require more maintenance with periodic refinishing to protect against Sacramento’s sun exposure and seasonal changes.

We can help you select the best material based on your specific needs for security, energy efficiency, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals.

How long does it take to install a new door?

Most standard door installations in Sacramento homes can be completed in 4-6 hours. However, the timeline can vary based on several factors:

Standard pre-hung door replacements typically take 3-5 hours
Custom door installations may take 5-8 hours
Replacing multiple doors in one visit is more efficient per door
Structural modifications or repairs to the door opening will extend the timeline

At Future Generation Construction, we schedule a full day for your installation to ensure we have ample time to complete the work with precision, but most projects are completed within half a day.

What does "pre-hung" mean and is it better?

A pre-hung door comes already mounted in its frame with hinges installed, ready to be placed into a prepared opening. This differs from a slab door, which is just the door panel without a frame or hardware.

Pre-hung doors are generally better for:

New construction or when replacing both the door and frame
Situations where the existing frame is damaged or out of square
Ensuring proper alignment and operation
Easier installation with consistent results

Slab doors may be appropriate when your existing frame is in excellent condition and perfectly square. For most Sacramento homes, especially older properties, we recommend pre-hung doors for the best long-term performance.

Can a new door really help lower my energy bills?

Yes, replacing old, drafty doors with energy-efficient models can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs in Sacramento’s climate. Modern doors with proper weatherstripping and insulation can prevent air leakage that accounts for up to 11% of a home’s energy loss.

Energy savings come from:

Insulated cores that resist heat transfer
High-quality weatherstripping that creates an airtight seal
Proper installation that eliminates gaps and drafts
Energy-efficient glass options for doors with windows

Many Sacramento homeowners report noticeable reductions in their energy bills after replacing outdated entry and patio doors. The exact savings depend on your current doors’ condition and the efficiency of your new doors.

For most backsplash installations, light cleaning can begin 24 hours after grouting is completed. However, we recommend waiting 72 hours before using any cleaning products. For natural stone backsplashes, which are common in Sacramento’s upscale homes, allow 7 days for sealers to fully cure before using any cleaners. We provide specific care instructions tailored to your backsplash material, including recommended cleaning products that won’t damage grout or sealants, ensuring your backsplash maintains its beauty for years to come.
