Custom Exterior Doors

Replacing an exterior door is a relatively quick and painless process that can do wonders to improve your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and security.

There are a few different factors that might affect how long a door installation will take. For example, design features, such as sidelites and transoms, will increase the installation time. Typically, you should expect your door installation to take a full day.

The cost of replacing an exterior door will depend on a wide array of factors.

Perhaps the most important factors are the size and complexity of the project. There are a lot of options to choose from, and a single door without many decorative features will cost much less than a grand entryway that is complete with a transom, sidelights, and decorative hardware. Of course, quality will impact price as well. It’s best to invest in door made from hardwearing materials, such as fiberglass or steel, as it will be able to withstand the harsh New England climate for decades without needing to be maintained, repaired, or replaced. It’s also worth paying for a door with premium insulation because it can help reduce monthly energy costs and keep your home more comfortable throughout the year.

It isn’t always easy to tell when it’s time to replace an entry or patio door in your home.

Some signs are obvious. For example, if your door is difficult to open or if there is visible damage such as rusting, cracking, and rotting, then door replacement should move to the top of your home-improvement to-do list. However, other signs are more subtle. You might see light coming through frames or feel air drafts. Or, you might notice that your monthly energy costs have been climbing. These are all signs that your door is poorly insulated and that the seals have been compromised. A new door can help boost your home’s energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal all at once!
