Fast, Reliable Door Installation Across Beverly Hills
Door installation in Beverly Hills usually runs from $1,800 for a basic pre-hung exterior slab up to $12,000+ for a custom thermally-broken steel unit matched to 1920s sightlines. Most front door replacements we handle in the flats and north of Sunset land in the $4,500 – $8,500 range once you factor in the custom sizing and period details the Architectural Review Commission expects. We’re Westlight Windows Los Angeles, led by Owen Satterfield, and we’ve been installing doors in Beverly Hills since 2009. Every job starts the same way: we inspect the opening, we write the real price, and we put it in writing before any work begins. Call (213) 810-3461 for a free estimate.
Why Westlight Windows Los Angeles Is Beverly Hills’s Preferred Door Installation Company
Beverly Hills doors are not off-the-shelf. The housing stock between Doheny Drive and Rexford Drive runs heavily toward Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean, and mid-century custom builds where original door openings were framed for 7’2″ slabs with arched heads, not the 6’8″ pre-hung units sitting in a big-box aisle. Our crews know that before they pull up to the house. We regularly work on homes in Trousdale Estates, the Beverly Hills flats, and the streets around Coldwater Canyon, so we have seen what hides behind the stucco: rusted steel jambs, failed waterproofing pans, and framing that predates current shear-wall code.
Owen Satterfield has run this company by one rule since 2009: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the site cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Beverly Hills homeowners who have been burned by no-show contractors or door-step price revisions tend to appreciate that. Our Door Installation team is background-checked and uniformed, and our phone lines are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You call, a human answers, and we schedule from there.
The Kingswell Guarantee backs every project. You get a written price before work starts, a committed arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee handed to you at completion. If the work fails within the guarantee period, we return and fix it at no charge. That is not a sales line. It is in writing.
Storm Door Installation in Beverly Hills
Storm door installation in Beverly Hills most often means adding a secondary exterior door that protects a period-correct front entry without replacing it. On a 1920s Spanish Colonial in the flats, the original front door matters. The Architectural Review Commission cares about sightlines, hardware, and proportion. A full replacement that breaks that character gets flagged. A well-fitted storm door gives you the protection and ventilation you want while the original door stays put. In Beverly Hills, most storm door installations run $900 – $2,400 installed, depending on the width, hardware, and whether we need to modify the existing jamb.
When a Storm Door Makes Sense in Beverly Hills
The mild Mediterranean climate means Beverly Hills gets intense afternoon sun from spring into fall. A storm door with UV-rated glass keeps the sun from baking the front entry and fading interior floors. The wet winters also make a storm door practical: it catches rain before it hits a wood door that has been holding up since the Hoover administration.
What We Check Before Installing a Storm Door
We measure the actual rough opening before we order anything. Many Beverly Hills entries are not square after 80 or 90 years of settling. We also inspect the exterior casing and the drip cap. If the existing flashing has failed, we fix that first so the new storm door is not just covering up a leak.
Sliding Glass Door Installation in Beverly Hills
Sliding glass door installation in Beverly Hills typically costs $2,800 – $6,500, depending on the opening width, glazing package, and whether the existing track is set in concrete. Many mid-century homes in the hills and around Coldwater Canyon were built with single-pane sliding doors set directly into the slab. Forty or fifty years later, the track is pitted, the rollers are shot, and the door drags. Replacing it is not as simple as sliding out the old panel and dropping in a new one.
Replacing a Mid-Century Slider Set in Concrete
When the original track is embedded in the slab, we have to cut the old track free or build up a new threshold over it. That opens questions about waterproofing and the condition of the slab edge. We frame for the new track, seal the transition correctly, and make sure the finished door sits flush enough to walk through without a trip hazard.
Impact-Rated Sliders for Beverly Hills
We install impact-rated sliders from PGT and CGI even though Beverly Hills is not in the high-velocity hurricane zone. A lot of our customers want the added security and the better noise attenuation it brings, especially on glass facing a street or a canyon run. Impact glazing also blocks a meaningful amount of UV, which matters on west-facing rooms that get the full force of the afternoon sun.
Trusted Brands We Service in Beverly Hills
We carry eight manufacturer lines, and for Beverly Hills work we lean on the ones that handle custom sizing and period-correct steel profiles: ES Windows for thermally-broken steel, ViewLux for high-end custom doors, and PGT or CGI when a customer wants impact-rated glazing. That matters here because so many of the original door openings in Beverly Hills do not match a standard pre-hung rough opening. We are not forcing one brand into a job it does not fit. We stock local parts and order directly from the manufacturers we represent, so a custom door for a Beverly Hills home moves faster than a big-box special order.
Common Door Installation Problems We See in Beverly Hills Homes
After 16 years of opening walls in Beverly Hills, here is what we actually find behind the stucco:
- Undersized framing behind a non-standard door. The original 1920s Spanish Colonial door is often 7’2″ x 3’6″ with a custom arched head. A crew that quotes a standard 6’8″ slab leaves the rough opening exposed for weeks while the framing is rebuilt. We measure the rough opening before we quote anything.
- Failed waterproofing pans behind the original threshold. We open a 1930s door and find the original pan rusted through or missing entirely. Flashing a modern door onto that without addressing the pan means hidden rot in the king studs within a few years.
- Architectural Review Commission mismatches. A lightweight fiberglass door with a full glass insert on a street-facing pre-1940 entry looks wrong against the original steel casement sightlines. The Commission issues a correction notice, and the homeowner pays twice. We specify doors that match the original sightline language from the start.
- Sliding door tracks set in concrete that have failed. Mid-century sliders in the hills often sit directly in the slab. By now the track is pitted, water has gotten under it, and the slab edge has spalled. Fixing it right means cutting out the old track and rebuilding the threshold, not just swapping the panel.

FAQs About Door Installation in Beverly Hills
The most common ones are a rusted or missing waterproofing pan under the threshold, undersized or rotted king studs behind the original jamb, and a header that does not meet current shear-wall code once the wall is open. Any of those requires additional framing and a plan check update. We handle this differently: before we start, we write an allowance into your contract for the conditions we can reasonably expect. If we find something unexpected, we stop, document it, price it in writing, and get your approval before we touch it. Nothing gets billed that was not approved first. Call (213) 810-3461 for a free estimate.
Yes, in most cases. Once the wall is open, the city’s plan check and the inspector will look at the header, the shear transfer, and the hold-down requirements. On an older home, that often means adding Simpson straps, new hold-downs, and sometimes a larger header. We document every strap and hold-down with photos before the wall is closed, and we call the inspection with you walking the permit card. We pull permits on every job where code requires it.
We match the original sightline language. On a pre-1940 home, the Beverly Hills Architectural Review Commission often requires that the replacement door replicate the original steel-frame casement sightlines exactly. That pushes us to specify custom thermally-broken steel doors from ES Windows, which modern vinyl or aluminum units cannot replicate. We handle the Commission’s review requirements from the start, so your new door looks like it belongs on the house and the correction notice never arrives.
The old track has to be cut free or a new threshold has to be built up over it. We then frame for the new track, reseal the slab edge, and set the new door level. This is the detail that separates a clean install from a door that drags and leaks within a year. On mid-century homes in the hills, we schedule this work with the slab condition in mind and give you a written price before we cut anything.
Because it makes the house more secure and quieter, and it blocks a meaningful amount of UV. On a west-facing entry or a glass wall off a canyon bedroom, impact-rated glazing from PGT or CGI is a serious upgrade. It is not required by code here, but plenty of Beverly Hills homeowners ask for it anyway. Call (213) 810-3461 for a free estimate and we will walk you through the glazing options.
