Local cost factors in Philly and the suburbs

In Drexel Hill or West Philly twins, original wood sills and brick mould often show signs of water damage that must be addressed before a new door is hung. Main Line projects frequently opt for high-end fiberglass or custom wood to match historic aesthetics, which adds to the material line item.

• Rough opening squareness (especially in settling Levitt-era homes)
• Sill and threshold rot repair (common in older rowhomes)
• Brick mould and exterior trim matching
• Glass package for energy efficiency
• Permit fees (City of Philadelphia vs. suburban townships)
