Steel Door Replacement

Steel entry doors are a popular choice for homeowners looking for an economical, beautiful and energy efficient option. Steel doors generally require little maintenance after being properly primed and painted and offer high levels of security to the homeowner. Thanks to their general affordability, adding a new steel entry door offers the best bang for your buck in our region.

According to the Remodeling 2024 Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com), homeowners in our region typically recoup about 161% of their investment in a new steel door. This return on investment shows up in the increased resale value of the home.

Grand Entrance Remodel with New Fiberglass Door

Fiberglass entry doors are an extremely popular choice among local homeowners. While we offer steel doors in smooth and wood grain varieties, fiberglass doors offer the most authentic wood look among our door options. If you’re looking for beautiful wood grain textures without the common problems of wood doors (shrinking, warping, splitting and cracking), fiberglass doors are an excellent choice. Our ProVia doors are some of the most beautiful fiberglass doors around thanks to their warranty-backed, factory-coated paints, stains and glazes.

According to the Remodeling 2024 Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com), homeowners in our region typically recoup about 77% of their investment by replacing a single entry door with a grander fiberglass entry door system complete with the new door and matching sidelights.
