Exterior Door Replacement & Precision Trim Repair in Faribault, MN

The Challenge: Solving Gaps and Drafts

A common issue we see in Minnesota homes is "winter-wear"—where exterior doors no longer provide a proper seal against the elements. On this recent project, the existing exterior door trim had failed and was no longer flush with the rough opening. This misalignment was allowing significant drafts to compromise the home's energy efficiency.

The TrueMark Solution: A Structural Approach

At TrueMark Repair, we believe a door is only as good as the opening it sits in. We didn’t just perform a standard door swap; we addressed the structural gaps at the source.

By rebuilding the rough opening and retrofitting the trim to be perfectly flush, we were able to eliminate the previous air leaks. This precision-fit approach ensures that the new door isn't just beautiful—it’s a weather-tight barrier built to withstand the Minnesota seasons.

Project Highlights:

• Structural Restoration: Rebuilding the rough opening to ensure a perfectly square, long-lasting fit.

• Precision Trim Work: Retrofitting custom trim to be flush with the frame, eliminating energy-wasting gaps.

• Energy Efficient Installation: Stopping drafts at the source by correcting previous installation errors.
