Exterior Door Relocation in Schaumburg, IL

Harris Roofing, Siding, Windows & Doors recently completed an exterior door relocation project for homeowners in Schaumburg, IL. Although these homeowners were first-time customers, they knew Harris Exteriors because we had completed multiple projects for their parents. When they decided to remodel their kitchen and needed to relocate an exterior door to create more space, they trusted our team to handle the entire project.

Relocating an Exterior Door for a Kitchen Remodel

The homeowners were remodeling their kitchen and wanted to create additional usable space by moving an existing exterior door into another room.

Rather than simply replacing the door, this project required closing the original doorway and creating a new exterior door opening elsewhere.

Our team handled the full relocation, properly framing the new doorway while restoring the interior and exterior surfaces around the original opening.

Closing the Existing Door Opening

After removing the original exterior door, our team completed the work needed to close the opening and prepare the space for the kitchen remodel.

This portion of the project included:

• Structural Framing: Framing the former doorway to close the opening.
• Insulation: Installing insulation within the newly framed wall.
• Drywall Installation: Adding new interior drywall to restore the wall surface.
• Siding Replacement: Replacing exterior siding where the original door had been located.

By closing the existing doorway, the homeowners gained additional wall space for their kitchen renovation while maintaining the home’s exterior appearance.

Creating a New Exterior Door Opening

The next phase involved creating a new exterior doorway in another room.

Our team completed the structural framing required for the new opening and installed the exterior door in its new location.

Unlike a standard door replacement, relocating an exterior door requires additional construction work to accommodate the new opening and properly integrate the door into the existing structure.

Harris Exteriors managed the project from start to finish, giving the homeowners a complete solution instead of requiring them to coordinate multiple contractors.

A Complete Exterior Door Relocation from Start to Finish

The finished project let these Schaumburg homeowners move forward with their kitchen remodel while keeping convenient exterior access from another room.

From closing and insulating the original doorway to installing new drywall, replacing siding, creating the new opening, and installing the relocated exterior door, our team handled the entire project from A to Z.

We’re especially proud that these first-time customers came to Harris Exteriors through a family referral. After completing multiple projects for their parents, we’re grateful for the opportunity to help another generation of homeowners improve their property.
