Whether you are looking for an upgrade or a new installation, Renovate With Character combines decades of experience with exceptional skill to install beautiful, functional doors in your New Jersey home.
Doors do more than just enhance your home’s style; they are also vital to its energy efficiency. A properly fitted front door provides optimal insulation.
Finding the Perfect Match: Door Types We Install
When you’re ready to update your doors, there are plenty of options and styles to choose from. We can install any of these types of doors in your house:
Entrance Doors
Entry doors in New Jersey set the tone for your home’s design. We’ll help you select a door that complements your exterior and reflects your style. If you have a larger entryway, a standard double front door size can fit nicely and provide a luxurious look.
Patio/Sliding/French Doors
Patio doors are designed to give you easy access to your patio and backyard. While sliding doors are currently the most popular choice for homeowners in New Jersey, we invite you to explore a variety of alternative styles that suit your home’s unique architecture and your functional needs.
Pivot Doors
We supply the Veris line of ThermaTru Doors. Unlike traditional doors that open from the far vertical edge, pivot doors place the hinge point several inches toward the center, allowing the door to spin on vertical post-hinges. We have a beautiful new pivot door display in the showroom!
Storm Doors
To protect both your front door and your home, storm doors are a great option. We can install a beautiful storm door that works perfectly with your main front door.
Interior Doors
We install and replace interior doors as well. These can include French doors, which provide an elegant look, passage doors, which close but don’t lock, and pocket doors, which are perfect for small spaces.
Specialty/Oversized/Custom Doors
If you need a door that isn’t a traditional shape or size, we can install a custom door tailored for your home. This includes advising you on whether specific door dimensions are practical for your entryway.
When a Door Becomes a Problem, Not Just a Project
Most homeowners wait too long to replace an old door, until it sticks, leaks, warps, or just looks terrible. When the time finally comes, they don’t know where to turn. Box store options are overwhelming and underwhelming, contractors are flaky, and hiring the wrong team often means you end up with the wrong door, or worse, one that doesn’t even fit.
A new door isn’t always a luxury, it’s often a necessary fix, and it should be done right.
Why RWC vs. Big-Box Installation
When you hire a big-box door installation company, you’ll often actually work with subcontractors who may be less skilled or qualified. RWC never subcontracts, so you can be confident that you are always getting our family-owned and operated company with more than 65 years of experience.
Common NJ Door Problems
When humid weather arrives, wooden doors often absorb moisture from the air and swell, causing them to stick in their frames. RWC can thoroughly assess the issue and provide effective solutions, such as sealing the wood or replacing old weatherstripping.
In addition to resolving sticking doors, new weatherstripping eliminates drafts, significantly improving your home’s energy efficiency.
What You Get When RWC’s On the Job
We’re not just a door installer. We’re a licensed, insured, family-owned partner with an in-house showroom and design team.
You can see and feel door options in person before committing.
We walk you through choices based on style, safety, energy performance, and budget.
Every project is turnkey, including design support, measurement, ordering, installation, and cleanup.
The RWC Difference
When you work with RWC, you’re not dealing with subcontractors or national chains. You’re working with a local team that knows this industry inside and out. And because we’ve been doing this for over six decades, we’ve seen it all—and fixed it all.
Whether you need one replacement door or a full upgrade across your home, we help you:
Improve energy efficiency and keep out drafts
Eliminate functionality issues like sagging, sticking, or misaligned doors
Increase curb appeal with quality finishes and hardware
Enhance home security with expert installs and solid construction
We’ve seen what happens when a door is hung crooked, ordered in the wrong size, or sealed improperly. It creates long-term headaches and costly fixes. That’s why we triple-check measurements, use trusted materials, and rely on experienced installers who get it right the first time, not the second.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are permits required for door installation in New Jersey?
You will not need a permit for a door replacement in New Jersey, but you might need one if you are making significant structural changes. RWC will help you determine what’s required for your project.
How long does it take RWC to install a new door?
The actual installation typically takes between two and five hours, but ordering a custom door can take several weeks or months. We’ll provide a personalized timeline so you know what to expect.
When should I start the door replacement process?
If you’re looking for a spring installation, it’s a good idea to start planning in the winter to allow plenty of time for your project.
