Storm door installations are fairly straightforward, but you need to make sure the contractor has experience with storm doors. These types of doors are different than your average exterior door. They need to be much stronger and much more durable than most regular exterior doors. The contractor should have experience installing doors in your area. This way, he or she will know more about what weather is typical for your area and install doors that best suit those weather conditions.

Make sure the contractor guarantees his or her work. These doors undergo quite a lot of abuse during their lives. They are also relied upon to provide vital protection to doors during large storms. If they fail, then the damage can be significant. Most storm door contractors are willing to guarantee their work for a certain number of months or years after the installation.

Ask for an estimate before you decide on a contractor. This is not a difficult job to estimate costs for. The contractor should be able to take a cursory look at your home and tell you how much the job will end up costing you. Try to get this estimate in writing if you can.
