Understanding the average costs for replacing interior doors
At Yoojo, I’ve helped hundreds of people replace their doors! This gives me a lot of useful statistics to share with you.
I compared two types of providers who offer different prices:
- Specialists from DIY stores
- The handymen available on Yoojo
Here’s the average price of a door replacement by type of specialist:
DIY Store Specialists
They are either employed by the store or independent tradespeople. All have expenses and contributions to pay.
Recommended for:
- Major renovations
- Booking directly after purchase
- Flexible budgets
- Getting an invoice
Yoojo Handyman
The price is lower because they pay fewer social contributions and have lower costs.
Recommended for:
- Small jobs

Replacing your door: What do you need to know?
How should you go about replacing a door effectively, and what work should you expect?
1
Should you replace the door without the frame?
✔️Yes, if :
- The door frame is still in good condition (no holes or cracks)
- The dimensions are compatible with the existing frame
- The door opens in the right direction
- The old frame matches your decor
- You think updating the trim around the frame is enough for design purposes
86% of my clients have decided to change their doors without replacing the frame (with or without modifying the trim)
2
Should you replace the door along with the frame?
✔️Yes, if :
- The dimensions of the new door aren’t compatible with the old frame
- The old frame is cracked or peeling away
- The door opens in a new direction
- You want a uniform design
- The new door is too heavy for the old frame
Replacing the frame is a big job. Make sure you have all the right information (dimensions, materials, renovations) before deciding.)
