The doorway, the pet, the price

A small opening.
A proper fit.

These sample installed prices include a standard manual flap or panel, fitting, perimeter sealing and cleanup. The final price depends on the size, material and access, agreed before work.

Ways in & out

Cat or small-dog door

$280–$480

A small manual flap fitted in a suitable solid wood, metal or composite door. Includes the unit and labor. We check panels and internal construction first.

Medium or large-dog door

$380–$650

A larger manual flap in a suitable door. Includes the unit and labor; the pet’s shoulder height and body width help us choose the opening.

Through-wall pet door

$650–$1,100

A manual flap with a lined passage through a suitable exterior wall. Includes the unit, lining, fitting and sealing. Thick masonry and unusual wall finishes need a separate quote.

Sliding-glass panel

$420–$800

A standard pet-door panel fitted into a compatible sliding-door track, with weather strips. Includes the panel and fitting; the panel reduces the width left for people to walk through.

Replacement flap & seal visit

$95–$180

Replace a compatible manual flap or worn seals in an existing pet door. Includes common parts and fitting; unusual sizes or a damaged frame are quoted separately.

We work in Maple Crossing and within 15 miles. Unusual materials, electrical pet doors, painting, structural alterations and new glass are outside these ranges. A door made of glass needs a different approach; we do not cut existing glass. We check the surface and agree on the whole job first.

A tape measure and a standing pet

Measure the pet.
Then the opening.

  1. Measure the widest part

    With your pet standing naturally, measure straight across the widest part of the chest or hips. Measure the body, not the fluffy edge of the fur.

  2. Measure shoulder height

    Measure from the floor to the top of the shoulders. Also note the distance from the floor to the underside of the chest; this helps us discuss the step over the bottom edge.

  3. Write down every pet

    If a dog and a cat share the opening, measure both. We need room for the larger pet and a manageable step for the smaller one.

Pet measurements are a starting point, not the cut size. We compare them with the actual clear opening and fitting instructions, then check the position in person. Don’t cut or order from these measurements alone.

Before you choose

Will a sliding panel fit any patio door?

No. Track height, track shape, the existing latch and available opening width all matter. We measure these at the visit and explain how the door will operate with the panel fitted before ordering.

Can I supply the pet door?

Yes, if the unit suits the pet and the installation surface. Let us check its instructions and dimensions first. We give a labor-only quote for a customer-supplied unit.

Can you fit it on the first visit?

The first visit is for measuring and checking the surface. Once we agree on the unit and written price, we arrange the fitting when the parts are ready.

We’ll check the last few inches.

Tell us about the pet and the proposed spot. A measuring visit is free within our service area.
