Why Replace Your Doors?

New doors offer numerous benefits that improve your home in multiple ways:

Enhanced Security: Modern entry doors feature robust construction, reinforced frames, and advanced locking systems that significantly improve your home's security. Multi-point locks, reinforced strike plates, and impact-resistant materials make it much harder for intruders to gain entry. Protecting your family and belongings starts with a quality entry door.

Improved Energy Efficiency: Old, drafty doors can be a significant source of energy loss. New doors with proper weatherstripping, insulated cores, and tight-fitting frames keep conditioned air inside where it belongs. Combined with energy-efficient windows and proper attic insulation, new doors help create a more comfortable, efficient home.

Better Weather Protection: Quality doors with proper installation keep rain, wind, snow, and humidity out of your home. Effective weather sealing prevents water damage, drafts, and pest intrusion that can result from worn or poorly fitting doors.

Increased Home Value: Entry door replacement is one of the best home improvement investments, often returning 70-90% of its cost at resale. More importantly, an attractive entry door dramatically improves curb appeal and makes your home more appealing to potential buyers.

Reduced Maintenance: Modern fiberglass and steel doors require far less maintenance than older wood doors. They won't warp, rot, crack, or require frequent repainting. You'll spend less time and money on upkeep while enjoying better performance.

Better Functionality: Do your current doors stick, squeak, or fail to close properly? New doors operate smoothly and reliably. Features like easy-glide patio doors and quiet-closing mechanisms improve daily convenience.

Types of Doors We Install

We offer complete installation services for all types of residential doors:

Entry Doors: Your front entry door makes a powerful statement about your home. We install entry doors in a wide range of styles from traditional to contemporary, including options with sidelights and transoms for a grand entrance. Choose from fiberglass, steel, or wood in countless designs, colors, and glass options.

Storm Doors: Storm doors provide an additional layer of protection for your entry doors. They extend the life of your primary door, add insulation, allow ventilation while keeping insects out, and provide extra security. We install storm doors in various styles including full-view, ventilating, and security options.

Patio Doors: Connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces with beautiful, functional patio doors. We install sliding patio doors, French doors, and multi-panel folding doors that provide wide openings, abundant natural light, and easy access to decks, patios, and gardens.

French Doors: Elegant French doors add sophistication to any entrance, whether used as exterior patio doors or interior room dividers. We install both single and double French doors in traditional and contemporary styles.

Garage Entry Doors: The door connecting your garage to your home needs to provide security and fire protection while withstanding temperature extremes. We install properly rated garage entry doors that meet building codes and keep your family safe.

Side Entry Doors: Secondary entry doors at side or back entrances need the same quality and attention as front doors. We help you select and install side entry doors that provide security and convenience while complementing your home's style.

Door Materials

We offer doors in various materials, each with distinct advantages:

Fiberglass Doors: Fiberglass has become the preferred choice for many homeowners due to its versatility and durability. Fiberglass doors can be textured and stained to look like real wood, won't warp, rot, or corrode, and provide excellent insulation. They're ideal for harsh climates and require minimal maintenance. Many fiberglass doors feature realistic wood-grain textures that rival the beauty of natural wood.

Steel Doors: For maximum security at an affordable price, steel doors are hard to beat. They're extremely strong, dent-resistant, and fire-rated. Modern steel doors feature polyurethane foam cores that provide excellent insulation. While they can dent if struck hard enough, their security benefits make them popular for many applications.

Wood Doors: Nothing matches the natural beauty and craftsmanship of real wood doors. Available in species ranging from oak and mahogany to cherry and walnut, wood doors can be stained or painted to achieve any look. They require more maintenance than other materials but offer unmatched aesthetic appeal for traditional and luxury homes.

Glass and Decorative Options: Many doors incorporate decorative glass for beauty and light. Options range from clear glass for maximum visibility to textured, frosted, or stained glass for privacy and style. Modern glass options include energy-efficient Low-E coatings and impact-resistant tempered or laminated glass.

Security Features

Your entry door is your home's first line of defense. We help you select and install doors with security features that protect your family:

Multi-Point Locking Systems: Unlike standard single-point deadbolts, multi-point locks engage the frame at multiple locations for superior security and a tighter seal against the elements.

Reinforced Strike Plates: Heavy-gauge strike plates with long screws that anchor into the wall framing make doors much more resistant to forced entry.

Impact-Resistant Materials: Steel and fiberglass doors resist kicks and impacts that could break through lesser materials.

Security Glass: Tempered and laminated glass options resist breakage and make it difficult for intruders to reach through and unlock doors.

Smart Lock Compatibility: Many modern doors are designed to accept smart locks that offer keyless entry, remote access control, and activity monitoring.

Doors and Home Exterior Projects

Door replacement pairs naturally with other home exterior improvements. Many of our customers choose to update their doors when undertaking related projects like roof replacement, siding installation, or window replacement. Coordinating these projects ensures a cohesive look throughout your home's exterior and can provide cost savings through combined work.

We're also experienced in coordinating door installations with exterior painting projects to achieve perfect color coordination. Our team can help you plan a comprehensive exterior renovation that addresses all your needs efficiently.

Our Door Installation Process

We follow a careful process to ensure your new doors are installed correctly and perform flawlessly:

1. Consultation and Measurement: We visit your home to assess your current doors, discuss your goals and style preferences, and take precise measurements. This ensures we order doors that fit perfectly.

2. Product Selection: Based on your needs and preferences, we help you select the ideal door style, material, color, and features. We provide samples and help you visualize how different options will look on your home.

3. Professional Installation: Our experienced installers carefully remove your old door, inspect and prepare the opening, and install your new door with precision. We ensure proper shimming, leveling, and securing for smooth operation and weathertight sealing.

4. Hardware and Finishing: We install all hardware including locks, handles, and accessories. We apply weatherstripping and threshold adjustments for a complete seal against the elements.
