Door replacement in Mount Pleasant, SC
Entry, patio, and sliding door systems set plumb on a flashed sill pan with continuous weatherstripping and an adjustable threshold — so the door operates the same in year five as it did on day one.
Working in Mount Pleasant
What this house, on this street, actually needs.
Mount Pleasant runs from Old Village cottages a few hundred feet off the harbor to twenty-year-old subdivisions in Park West and Carolina Park where the original builder-grade envelope is now reaching the end of its service life. Most of what we're called for here is first-replacement work — the original roof, windows, or siding finally giving up at the same time.
Sliders to screened porches and back patios take the worst of it here: heavy use, direct sun, and standing water at the track. We reset those on a proper pan with a drainable track rather than caulking the symptom.
HOA rules here usually govern work hours, dumpster placement, and material staging. We get those in writing before day one so the schedule we give you is the schedule you get.

Mount Pleasant FAQs
Straight answers before you commit.
Do you need a permit for doors work in Mount Pleasant?
Mount Pleasant issues its own building permits through the town, and most planned communities add an architectural review committee on top of that. We handle both — the town submittal and the ARC package with product, color, and profile documentation. We pull the permits in our name and provide inspection records with your closeout documents.
What makes doors in Mount Pleasant different from inland work?
Coastal humidity swells wood slabs and salt air eats plated hardware. We specify fiberglass or clad units and stainless or coastal-rated hardware, and we pan-flash every sill so storm-driven water drains outward.
Which Mount Pleasant areas do you serve?
We work throughout Mount Pleasant, including Old Village, I'On, Park West, Carolina Park, and the surrounding Lowcountry. Our office is at 668 Marina Dr Unit B7 in Charleston.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, pull permits under our own license, and provide certificates on request before work begins.
How long does a door installation take?
A single entry or patio door is typically one day. Multiple units, a large slider, or structural work runs two to three days. Custom units carry a four to ten week lead time from order.
Why do doors start sticking after a year?
Almost always an unsupported shim stack or a sill that wasn't set level. We set on full shim support with a sloped pan, then do a final adjustment pass — and re-adjust free within the workmanship warranty period.
