Handyman or licensed pro?

Storm doors are handyman work and need no license. Out-of-square frames and custom sizes take longer. Rules vary by state; see handyman license requirements by state.

How to quote it

  1. Measure the opening and check the frame for square before ordering.
  2. Quote labor, the door, and haul-away separately.
  3. Offer weatherstripping on the main door as an add-on.
