Expertise: Interior Door Replacement

Most homeowners focus on renovations like kitchens and bathrooms, but one of the simplest and most impactful upgrades can often go unnoticed. Interior doors are everyday parts that shape both the look and feel of your home and replacing them the traditional way can feel like a time-consuming task. From navigating contractors to weeks of disruption, the process often overshadows the benefits. With the right approach, upgrading your interior doors can be a seamless experience, improving everything from noise reduction to resale value in just a few hours. To find out more about this process, House and Home spoke with Eric Strohl, owner of One Day Doors and Closets of Philly.

What exactly is One Day Doors & Closets and how does the process work?
One Day Doors & Closets is the largest company of its kind in North America, has won national awards and has been recognized by interior designers for offering homeowners the best interior and closet door replacement. Our experts work directly with homeowners to pick door styles, paint colors and hardware selections. Once all selections have been made, we send a measure technician to the customers home where we 3D scan every door jamb getting accurate measurements down to 1/1000th of an inch. Those measurements are then sent to the factory where the doors are manufactured, painted and shipped to our dealership. Installation is guaranteed to be completed in just one day; however, in most cases, we are in and out of the home in just a few hours with no mess or stress.

Your company is known for its 3D measuring technology. How does that technology make your process different from hiring a traditional contractor?
Our technology is the real game changer here. Traditional door replacement is a mess and takes on average 6-8 hours per door for manual measuring, mortising hinges, boring holes, trimming and painting. All that work is being done in and around the customer's home. Our 3D scanning technology takes the guess work out of measuring mapping out hinge placements, strike placements to ensure precise measurements down to 1/1000th of an inch.

What are some of the biggest design trends you're seeing in interior doors?
Most homeowners today are opting for solid core doors in various designs. Our designer collection series is by far the most popular, containing a variety of single, double, triple and five panel shaker doors.

What types of homes are the best candidates for this type of transformation and will replacing interior doors actually increase the value and appeal of a home?
We don't discriminate as there are so many older homes needing new doors. On a daily basis we replace interior doors in townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes. Doors are touched by everyone in the home all day long. One Day Doors & Closets is the only home improvement project that can change to look and feel in a home in just a few hours.

Besides improving the appearance of a home, what practical benefits do homeowners notice after replacing their interior doors?
Noise reduction is a big one after aesthetics. New solid core doors offer a significant reduction in noise which is helpful to homeowners that work from home or have smaller children.
