Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Doors

Entry doors range from $1,800–$15,000+ depending on type and features. Our Basic steel/fiberglass package starts at $1,800–$3,500, while Ultra+ custom designs start at $10,000+.

Fiberglass is the best all-around pick—it won't dent, rust, or warp and can look like real wood. Steel is more affordable and very secure, but can dent from hail.

Most entry door replacements are done in a single day (4–6 hours). That includes removing the old door, installing, insulating, sealing, and finishing trim work.

Yes. Old doors with worn seals can account for 10–15% of heat loss. Modern doors have foam-insulated cores and multi-point weatherstripping that dramatically cut drafts.

It locks the door at three or more points (top, middle, bottom) instead of one deadbolt. This provides stronger security and a tighter weatherseal.

Storm doors protect your entry door from weather, add an insulating air pocket, and allow ventilation. They're included in our Elite+ packages.

Yes—fiberglass doors can be stained in various wood tones or painted any color. We'll show finish samples during your consultation.

We offer hundreds of patterns—beveled, textured, wrought iron, frosted, and stained glass styles. Decorative glass adds curb appeal, natural light, and privacy.

Yes—keypads, smartphone apps, and biometric options from Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, and August. Ultra and Ultra+ packages include smart lock options.

Yes—sliding and French patio doors in vinyl, fiberglass, and wood-clad options ($2,500–$8,000+). All include Low-E glass, quality locks, and professional installation.
