Door Replacement in Richmond, Chesterfield & Henrico

Entry, patio, and storm doors installed by the owners themselves — 30 years of experience, honest recommendations, and a door that fits right and lasts.

Commonwealth Construction & Remodelinginstalls and replaces exterior doors for homeowners throughout Richmond, Chesterfield County, Henrico County, and the surrounding Virginia communities.

Your front door is the first thing guests see and one of the hardest-working parts of your home — it has to look good, seal tight, and keep your family secure. When you work with us, you deal directly with the business owners, not a commissioned sales rep, so the door you end up with is the one that actually fits your home, your budget, and how you live.

A door is only as good as its installation. A beautiful door hung in an out-of-square or rotted opening will draft, stick, and fail early. With 30 years of experience, we make sure the opening is sound, the door is set true, and everything seals the way it should — then we back it with some of the best warranties in exterior remodeling.

Why Homeowners Choose Commonwealth for Door Replacement

Your entry door affects your home's security, comfort, and curb appeal all at once. Here's what sets Commonwealth apart for homeowners across Richmond, Chesterfield, and Henrico.

You work directly with the owners.

No high-pressure sales appointment, no "sign tonight for this price" tactics — just a straight conversation about what your home needs.

Doors installed for security.

A door only protects your home if it's set solidly in a sound opening with the frame and hardware properly fitted. We install every door to sit square, latch cleanly, and hold up.

A tighter, more efficient seal.

Old exterior doors are a common source of drafts and lost energy. We seal and weatherproof correctly so your new door keeps conditioned air in and the Virginia weather out.

Local experience that reads your home right.

Thirty years working in the Richmond area means we understand how local homes, weather, and older construction affect a door project.

Honest, range-based pricing.

We explain what drives cost and give you clear expectations up front, rather than a one-size number designed to win the sale.

Craftsmanship with real warranties.

Every install is completed with attention to detail and backed by strong product and workmanship warranties.

Serving Richmond, Chesterfield & Henrico

We install replacement doors throughout the Richmond metro area, with a focus on Richmond, Chesterfield County, and Henrico County, plus surrounding Virginia communities. As a locally owned and operated company native to the area, we’re a short drive away and invested in the neighborhoods we serve.

From the older colonials and Cape Cods in Richmond’s established neighborhoods to the brick ranches and two-stories throughout Chesterfield and Henrico and the newer builds further out, the exterior doors on many area homes are working harder than their owners realize. Central Virginia’s humid subtropical climate is tough on doors in particular: hot, humid summers cause wood doors to swell and stick, cold snaps and freeze-thaw cycles pull seals apart, and wind-driven rain from summer storms and passing tropical systems tests every gap around the frame. Over years of that cycle, even a well-made door can shift out of square, drop its weatherproofing, and start letting in air, water, and outside noise.

For homeowners here, the signs worth watching tend to show up seasonally: a door that sticks in the humid months and rattles loose in the dry cold, daylight or drafts creeping in around the edges, and rot or water staining at the base of the frame and threshold, where our rain and humidity collect. Settling in older homes is another common culprit, throwing the opening out of alignment so the door no longer seals or latches cleanly, which is both an energy and a security concern. When we assess a door in the Richmond area, we’re drawing on 30 years of working with these specific home styles and this climate to make sure your new door is set true, sealed tight, and built to hold up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can tell you Tim’s work is exceptional.  They made our vision come true on both decks they built for us.  Not only that they saw some items that were done incorrectly on the original construction of our home and corrected so we would not have issues.  The are very easy to work with and they are very reasonable pricing and detailed to their work

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely responsive. A contractor who doesn't give you the run around, does what he says he's going to do and does it well. Highly recommend. Will use again!

How much does door replacement cost in the Richmond area?

Cost depends on the type of door, the material and glass you choose, the size of the opening, hardware, and whether any structural repair is needed. Rather than quote a flat figure, we provide an honest price range during your free estimate and explain exactly what’s driving it.

How long does a door installation take?

Most single-door replacements are completed in a day, while larger patio or multi-door projects may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline up front and stick to it.

Do you repair wood rot or damaged framing during replacement?

Yes. Older Virginia homes often have hidden rot or water damage around door openings. We handle structural repairs as part of the replacement so your new door is installed on a sound, properly sealed frame.

What type of exterior door is best?

There’s no single best door — steel, fiberglass, and wood each have strengths depending on your priorities for security, energy efficiency, maintenance, and appearance. We install a range of trusted brands and materials and help you compare them objectively.

Will a new door make my home more energy efficient?

It can. A properly installed and sealed door reduces drafts and air leakage, which are common sources of lost energy in older homes.

Do you serve my area?

We serve Richmond, Chesterfield County, Henrico County, and surrounding Virginia communities. Contact us for a free estimate to confirm we cover your neighborhood.
