Because of the significant impact an updated door makes, we answered our most-asked questions from more than 40 years of door replacement projects.
Question 1: What Type of Door Should I Choose?
We recommend fiberglass doors to homeowners most often. Fiberglass doors are best for high-traffic entrances, like your front door entry, because they are sturdy enough to handle decades of use. Some homeowners are wary of fiberglass material, not wanting to depart from the look of a classic, real wood door. However, fiberglass doors are designed to look and feel as close to a wood door as possible. Usually, no one can tell the difference and you’re left with a more secure and more weatherproof front entry.

Fiberglass doors are damage-resistant, staying free from scuffs and scratches decades longer than a wood door would. Wood doors also are susceptible to swelling and shrinking, so we recommend homeowners replace wood exterior doors.
Finally, fiberglass doors are more energy-efficient than wood doors. Their durability keeps them from warping in any way, keeping an air-tight seal for a lifetime. Our installation process includes insulation and weatherstripping for maximum energy efficiency.
After more than 40 years of experience with door replacement, we overwhelmingly recommend fiberglass entry doors.
Question 2: How Can I Maximize My Front Door Security?
The fiberglass doors we install are thought to be much safer than builder-grade wood doors, as they are much more difficult to damage, tamper with, or break down. Fiberglass doors won’t cave to pressure. Fiberglass door frames are secure against break-ins as well as hurricanes and other hazardous or wet weather conditions.
Additionally, we have multi-lock options available to increase security on your new door. These sturdy locks, combined with the strength of the fiberglass material, create a secure front entrance for your home.
