How to read these ranges
These are reference ranges from professionally installed, permitted projects - not DIY, material-only, or handyman scopes. Your quote depends on the existing frame, door style, glass package, and the company's overhead.

Source: Reference ranges for professionally installed door projects across Metro Indianapolis, aggregated from full-service installer quote data ((HomeGuide, 2024), (Angi, 2024)) and adjusted for the local market using regional construction-cost indices ((RSMeans CCI, 2024)). ROI benchmarks cross-checked against (Cost vs. Value, 2024). Not a quote; actual bids depend on your specific doors and frame condition.
