Door installation Miami is different from sticky-door repair. This page covers hanging a new or replacement door, hardware, and when a half-day package beats guessing a “cheap install” price that is not on our rate card.

Pre-hung vs slab — what changes the quote
- Pre-hung — door already in a frame. Labor focuses on opening, shimming, plumbing, fastening, and trim. Easier when the rough opening matches.
- Slab only — reusing hinges/jamb. Great when the frame is true; painful when Miami humidity has twisted the jamb (often needs planing or frame work first).
- Exterior / storm products — HOA and insurance may require specific ratings. We install what you supply when it fits; we do not pretend every hurricane door is a handyman SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does door installation cost in Miami?
Gold Hands does not list a single flat “new door install” SKU because slab vs pre-hung, interior vs exterior, and frame condition change the labor. Related menu prices: hinge repair/replace $99, door plane/adjust $119, frame repair $189, weatherstripping $79, sliding track/roller $149. Locks: deadbolt on existing prep $89, new bore + deadbolt $139, entry handle set $99, smart lock $129. Full hung installs are usually quoted from photos or as hourly $100/hr (2-hr min) / half-day $389.
Do you install interior and exterior doors?
Yes for typical residential slab and pre-hung doors when framing is sound. Exterior doors that need structural frame rebuild, custom millwork, or HOA-mandated hurricane product certification may need a specialty door contractor — we say so before we start.
Is door installation the same as door repair?
No. Repair fixes sticking, hinges, locks, weatherstrip, and sliding track issues on an existing door. Installation is hanging a new or replacement door (and often hardware). See our humidity sticking guide for repair-only jobs.
Can you hang a condo unit door in Miami Beach or Brickell?
Often yes if the building allows vendor work and the door type matches the existing opening. Send freight/COI rules, door photos, and whether hinges/strike already match. Concrete jambs and fire-rated corridor doors have limits we flag early.
Do you supply the door?
Usually you supply the door (big-box or specialty). We can advise size/handedness from photos. Hardware can be customer-supplied or we install your lockset from our lock menu.
