How much of a door quote is labour in Ontario?
Labour is $100 to $300 of an Ontario interior door job and $300 to $1,200 of an exterior door job, according to Panorama Windows. Exterior doors cost more to install because the opening needs insulation, air sealing and weatherstripping. Older homes with out-of-square frames add framing time.
| Door type | Typical labour | Total installed |
|---|---|---|
| Interior hollow core | $100 to $300 | $300 to $700 |
| Interior solid core | $150 to $450 | $500 to $1,200 |
| Exterior steel | $300 to $800 | $800 to $2,500 |
| Exterior fiberglass | $300 to $900 | $1,200 to $3,500 |
| Wood exterior | $400 to $1,200 | $1,500 to $4,500+ |

Panorama says Toronto door installs often cost more than in smaller Ontario cities because of higher labour rates and demand. For context, Job Bank lists a median carpenter wage of $32.00 an hour in Ontario and $36.00 in the Toronto Region for 2023 to 2024 (Job Bank). That is worker pay, not the rate on your invoice. Our carpenter cost guide shows the GTA retail hourly bands.

Do you need a permit or qualify for a rebate in Ontario?
A same-size door swap in a Toronto house needs no permit, but a new or enlarged opening does. The City of Toronto exempts replacing a door in an existing opening of a detached, semi-detached or single-unit row house, if the size, structural support and exits do not change. Condos and other buildings need a permit even for a swap (City of Toronto).
- Rebate: Home Renovation Savings pays $100 per rough opening for ENERGY STAR certified doors, and one door qualifies (Home Renovation Savings).
- Catch: You need an energy assessment before work starts and at least two upgrades. The program refunds $600 for the assessments.
- Bundle: Three qualifying upgrades earn an extra $500 rebate on the same program page.
Pairing new doors with attic or wall insulation is the usual way to reach two upgrades. See our insulation statistics for those rebate bands, our window replacement statistics and our window installation cost guide if windows are on the same list. For drafts around an old door, our air sealing and weatherstripping statistics price new seals and sweeps, and our door repair cost guide covers hinges, frames and locks when the door is worth keeping.
How do you get an accurate door installation quote?
Measure the rough opening, note the door type and swing, and send photos of the frame and sill. Ask for an itemized written quote that splits the door, labour, trim, hardware and disposal. Confirm WSIB clearance and liability insurance, and ask whether the model is ENERGY STAR certified if you want the rebate.
Compare free quotes through our door installation hub, or start from a city page such as door installation in Vaughan. If the doors are part of a larger job, our general contractor cost guide and the best general contractors in Toronto list can help you plan it.
