Door Installation in Bonita Springs
& Fort Myers Beach
Door installation in Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach covers more ground than most homeowners expect — from a bedroom door that has rubbed its frame since the house settled, to a whole-home swap of builder-grade hollow doors for solid-core quiet, to hurricane impact entry and patio doors that have to be anchored exactly to their engineering. What every one of those jobs shares is the same unforgiving test: a door either fits true, swings smooth, latches clean, and seals tight, or you notice it every single day.
We hang and install doors across Bonita Springs, Bonita Beach, Estero, and Fort Myers Beach weekly, and Southwest Florida gives the work its own character. Homes settle on sandy soil and pull frames out of square. Coastal humidity swells slabs that were never sealed on all six sides. And on the barrier islands, impact-rated doors are not an upgrade conversation — they are how coastal living works now, with wind-borne debris ratings, permits, and inspections that have to be done right the first time.
Our process is the same whether it is one door or twenty: assess the opening honestly — square frames earn an economical slab swap, settled frames earn a prehung unit that will still close correctly in ten years — then shim at the hinges and strike, set an even reveal on all three sides, foam and seal, and fit hardware so nothing rubs, sticks, or rattles. Exterior doors get flashing, sill pans, sweeps, and weatherstripping as standard, because in our climate a door that leaks air also leaks money.
And because we are a full remodeling company, door work here includes what the openings around them need: casing and trim matched by our carpenters, paint or stain finished by our painters, and framing repairs when rot or termites have been at the jamb. One fixed quote, from the first measurement to the final latch click — anywhere from Bonita Springs to Fort Myers Beach.
A Door You Never Think About
Is a Door Installed Right.
Sticking, rubbing, latch misses, daylight around the weatherstrip — door problems are frame problems. We hang doors plumb and square with proper shimming at every hinge and strike point, so they swing smooth, latch on the first try, and stay that way through Florida humidity swings. Casing goes back with tight miters, and hardware sits level at consistent heights through the whole house.
On exterior work, Southwest Florida raises the bar: entry and patio doors must meet Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, and in much of Collier and Lee County that means impact-rated or shuttered openings, permitted and inspected. As a licensed contractor we handle the permit, the product rating paperwork, and the inspection — not just the swing.

Measure Twice. Hang Once.
1 — Measure & quote. Rough openings measured, swing and hardware confirmed, wind-zone requirements checked on exterior openings. One fixed quote.
2 — Supply or install-only. We source doors through our vendors or install units you have purchased — we verify sizing before install day either way.
3 — Install. Old unit out, frame shimmed plumb and square, door hung, exterior units flashed and foam-sealed, hardware set level.
4 — Finish. Casing, caulk, adjustment, and on permitted exterior work, the final inspection. Doors tested until they close with one finger.
What Drives Door
Installation Cost?
The door you buy and the work to hang it are separate numbers — and on exterior and impact doors, the install is as important as the door itself.
- Hollow-core interior — the economical baseline
- Solid-core interior — weight, feel & sound dampening for bedrooms & offices
- Entry doors — fiberglass, steel & wood across a wide band
- Impact-rated — hurricane glazing & engineered frames carry a real premium
- Specialty — pocket, barn, French & 8-ft pivot doors
- Hardware — hinges to handlesets to smart locks
- Slab swap vs. prehung — a square, solid frame makes a slab swap cheap; settled frames need prehung
- Frame & framing repairs — rot, termite damage & out-of-square openings fixed before hanging
- Exterior sealing — flashing, sill pans, weatherstripping & sweeps
- Impact anchoring — installed to manufacturer engineering, permits handled
- Count — whole-home packages price far better per door than one-offs
- Finishing — casing, paint or stain & hardware alignment

Common Questions.
The Cutting Edge Standard
for Doors.
Cutting Edge hangs doors the way finish carpenters do — because that is who is hanging them. Nine consecutive years of Best of Houzz and 500+ projects across Bonita Springs, Bonita Beach, Estero, and Fort Myers Beach taught us that a door install is judged in millimeters: the reveal that stays even top to bottom, the latch that catches without a shoulder check, the casing miter that closes tight. Those details are not extras on our jobs. They are the job.
On exterior and impact doors, the Cutting Edge difference is what you cannot see. Hurricane-rated units only protect your home when they are anchored, flashed, and sealed exactly to the manufacturer’s engineering — so that is how ours go in, with the permits pulled and the inspections closed out, not skipped to save a week. As a licensed, insured, full-service remodeling contractor, we also repair what the old door was hiding: rotted jambs, termite-chewed framing, out-of-square openings from decades of settling. The door and its opening get fixed together, in one visit, on one fixed number.
If you are comparing door installation companies in Bonita Springs or Fort Myers Beach, ask each one whether they will honestly tell you when a cheap slab swap is enough — and whether their impact installs pass inspection the first time. Those two answers are why homeowners, and the communities from Pelican Landing to the beach, keep their door list with Cutting Edge, and why so many single-door visits turn into whole-home upgrades.
