Get a Realistic Range

Describe the opening — door type, what it is doing wrong, how old it is, what building it sits on — and hear a working range before anyone drives out.

The reference

What every line is priced against

Twenty-four rows, one for each kind of repair we quote, pulled from the cost tables on the individual service pages. No figures here — the variables are what decide them, and the survey decides the variables.

What moves each line the most

  • Storefront Door Repair — Storefront figures move most on two things: whether glass has to be removed to do the work safely, and whether the frame is sound. A well-anchored frame with a worn pivot is a straightforward visit. A racked frame in a settling building is a different conversation, and you will hear the difference before anything is ordered.
  • Door Closer Repair — A large share of closer calls end as an adjustment, the smallest invoice available on this page, and the one you will hear about first. Replacement gets recommended when the unit is leaking, seized, or was undersized for the door in the first place — and in that last case, replacing like for like would just repeat the failure.
  • Exit Device Repair — Rated hardware costs more than its unrated equivalent and cannot be substituted downward, which surprises people. Where a door carries a label, the replacement has to be listed for that use — that is not an upsell, it is the only legal repair. Devices on unrated doors have far more room to move on price.
  • Automatic Door Repair — Two things move automatic door figures more than anything else: whether the unit's manufacturer still supports parts for that generation, and whether a lift is needed to reach the header safely. Both get established during diagnosis so the quote does not change afterwards.
  • Hollow Metal Door and Frame Repair — Lead time is the variable people underestimate here. A stock-size unrated door can move quickly; a rated door with specific prep is a manufactured item with a real queue behind it. That gets flagged at the quote stage so the securement plan covers the gap rather than surprising you halfway through.

No charge to ask


What moves the number

  • Whether the frame is square and plumb, or has moved.
  • Hardware grade, brand, and whether the product is still current.
  • Rating and code obligations on the assembly.
  • Access, floor height, and whether the work has to happen outside trading hours.
The reasoning

Why a call beats a form here

Ranges happen on the phone because that is where the detail lives. The firm number comes after the survey, in writing, and is approved by you before work begins.

  • 01

    The follow-up questions are the estimate

    Nobody types the detail that changes the price. A coordinator asking four questions in sequence gets there in under two minutes.

  • 02

    Triage is worth something on its own

    Some calls end with 'that is an adjustment, here is what to check first.' You are not charged for that conversation.

  • 03

    Ranges you can take to a budget holder

    The range from the call is built to survive being repeated to an owner or a regional manager, then confirmed in writing after the survey.
