Due to high salt spray and moisture levels in St. John's, fiberglass or vinyl-coated steel doors are recommended over wood to prevent rot and corrosion. These materials typically add $500–$1,200 to the base price but offer significantly longer lifespans in coastal conditions.
A permit is generally not required for a 'like-for-like' replacement of an existing door. However, if you are enlarging the opening or making structural changes to the header, a renovation permit from the City of St. John's is required, costing approximately $50 to $150 depending on the project value.
In the St. John's market, a standard single 9x7 steel door averages $2,100–$3,500 installed, while a double 16x7 door typically ranges from $4,200–$6,800. Premium carriage-house styles or high R-value insulated models can push double door costs above $9,000.
No, the average replacement cost of $2,950 typically covers the door and tracks only. Adding a modern belt-drive opener with Wi-Fi connectivity in 2026 adds an additional $550–$850 to the total project cost, including professional installation.
