Older St. Petersburg homes rarely have perfectly square openings. We shim, level and seal each new door so it swings freely and closes tight.
We set a realistic date for your door replacement, show up when we say we will, and keep your home secure throughout the swap.
Because we run a lean shop, your money buys large-firm quality, not a big company's office, advertising and extra layers.
The people who measure your doorway are the people who install your door. You talk to them directly, not to a call center.
If a frame is rotted, or if a slab-only swap will do the job, we tell you plainly before any work or ordering begins.
Our Florida license and insurance are in place on every job, and each door replacement we finish is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Get My Free Estimate TodayFat Finger Construction provides door replacement in St. Petersburg, FL, for homes of every age. In Historic Kenwood and Old Northeast, many bungalows still have original wood doors that have swelled, cracked or shifted after decades of Gulf Coast humidity. In mid-century ranches near 34th Street and along 4th Street N, the problem is often a builder-grade entry door or an aging slider that no longer seals. Whatever the house, we remove the old door, check the frame and threshold for rot, and install a new door that fits the opening and locks the way it should.
The work covers new front doors (fiberglass, steel or wood), French doors, sliding patio doors, and the bedroom and closet doors inside the house. Near Tampa Bay, salt air is hard on hardware and finishes, so we talk through materials that hold up in this climate. Summer heat and afternoon downpours punish poorly sealed doors, so we pay close attention to weatherstripping, flashing and the threshold. Ask us about impact-rated options too, if hurricane season is on your mind. Call for a free in-home estimate and get honest pricing before you decide anything.

Replacing a door sounds simple until the opening turns out to be out of square or the jamb is soft behind the trim. Our crew plans for that. At the free estimate we measure every opening, look closely at the frame, and tell you whether a slab swap or a full prehung door makes more sense. You get one honest number, a realistic schedule, and the same local team from start to finish. On install day we protect the floors around the doorway, and we close up the opening securely before we leave each day.
We handle door replacement all over St. Petersburg, from downtown and the Central Ave corridor to Crescent Lake, Snell Isle, Shore Acres and the neighborhoods off I-275. Nearby, we also cover Treasure Island, Gulfport, Kenneth City, Pinellas Park and the rest of Pinellas County. As a locally owned contractor that is Florida licensed, fully insured and 5-star reviewed, we put a workmanship guarantee on every install. We work Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, so request a free estimate and get a clear plan for your doors.
