Expert Doors in Dorchester, Massachusetts
Dorchester sits 24 miles from our shop in Charlton, which is close enough that we see the same patterns in its housing stock again and again. Housing here runs to brownstone row houses and triple-decker apartments, much of it 80-150+ years old. Add tight lot lines and staging constraints that shape how a crew can work, and the details that matter become obvious.

Expert Doors Services in Dorchester, MA
Dorchester sits 24 miles from our shop in Charlton, which is close enough that we see the same patterns in its housing stock again and again. Housing here runs to brownstone row houses and triple-decker apartments, much of it 80-150+ years old. Add tight lot lines and staging constraints that shape how a crew can work, and the details that matter become obvious.
The reason we push people toward a local contractor for door installation is not loyalty to the idea — it is that the failures we get called out to fix are almost always detail failures, and details are what a crew working forty miles from home stops caring about at four in the afternoon. On Dorchester homes specifically, crumbling brick pointing needing exterior updates and ancient single-pane windows losing heat are what we plan around before a crew is booked. One crew, start to finish, and one person you call. It is a small company and that is deliberate.
Comprehensive Doors Services in Dorchester, MA
The specification we work to in Dorchester is not complicated — adjustable thresholds set to your actual floor height for a clean sweep seal; fiberglass slabs where the opening takes weather, since they hold their shape through the season; rebuilding the opening square before the new unit goes in, rather than shimming around the problem. Materials are rated for the New England climate zone, and we account for older masonry and wood assemblies sitting side by side on the same block. Every one of those is in the manufacturer's own installation guide. Following it is most of the job.

Insulated steel security doors
Sliding and French patio doors
Storm doors with retractable screens

Why Dorchester Trusts Maia Construction
From the Charlton shop, Dorchester is roughly half an hour. We have jobs behind us in North Dorchester, East Dorchester, South Dorchester. That distance is mostly about the boring things: being there for the inspection, and coming back out under warranty without it being an expedition. Licensed under MA HIC #204634, fully insured, and rated 5.0 on Google across 19 reviews. Estimates are free, written, and there is no second visit from a closer.

Our Doors Process in Dorchester
01
Assess the opening
We open and close the existing door, check the daylight around the seal, and measure the opening.
02
Select the unit
We steer material by exposure: a covered entry and a west-facing one are not the same problem.
03
Order to the real opening
We order to what we measured. Nominal sizing is how doors end up shimmed into place.
04
Remove and repair
Old unit out, framing and sill repaired where needed and shown to you.
05
Set, flash and seal
Sill pan, shims at the hinge points, and flashing lapped over the housewrap.
06
Hardware, adjustment and handover
Latch, sweep and hinges adjusted, keys handed over, debris removed.
Cost Range
$1,800–$5,500 installed, depending on the unit and the opening
Timeline
one day per opening, occasionally two where the framing needs work
Warranty
a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on the slab and 5 years on our labour

Doors FAQs — Dorchester, MA
Common questions from Dorchester homeowners about doors
Are you actually local to Dorchester?
We work out of Charlton, 24 miles away — roughly half an hour. That matters mostly for the unglamorous parts: getting back out for a warranty call, or being on site when the inspector is.
Which doors do you install?
We work mainly in solid wood, insulated steel, fiberglass entry, and we are certified installers for Therma-Tru, ProVia, Andersen. Which of those makes sense for your Dorchester home depends on exposure and budget, and we will tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.
What usually goes wrong with doors on homes in Dorchester?
The three we see most often here: settled framing that leaves the opening out of square, so the door never latches cleanly; weatherstripping compressed flat, which is usually where the draft is coming from; and a rotted sill and threshold under a door that was never flashed properly. Locally, crumbling brick pointing needing exterior updates comes up repeatedly on brownstone row houses.
Do you use subcontractors?
No — our own people, start to finish. Subcontracting is how a schedule slips and how nobody ends up owning a defect.
What warranty comes with the work?
You get a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on the slab and 5 years on our labour. Both are in writing at handover. The workmanship warranty is ours, not a third party's, and it is the one that actually gets used.
What happens if you find rot once you have started?
You see it before we cover it. The rate for hidden damage is written into the contract up front, precisely so nobody is negotiating while the house is open.
