Q: What should I look for when buying a door?

There are many different replacement door options available for homeowners to purchase, however each door option is not equal. They key factors to consider when buying a door include: 1.Style: Your front entry door should reflect your style and personality, it also has the ability to increase your home’s curb appeal. So, choosing a replacement door that matches your home’s architectural design as well as your personality is important. The easiest way to add character to an entry door is with a pop of color. 2.Material: There are a variety of material options available to choose from when replacing your entry door. Some of the most popular entry door materials include fiberglass, wood and steel. Each material option has its own pros and cons. Our team would be happy to cover these with you during your consultation. 3.Security: A well-built entry door equipped with the proper hardware will help secure your home and provide you with peace of mind. A solid entry door will be more durable than a hollow door, but the biggest security factor is the locking mechanism. A multipoint locking system will provide the best security. 4.Energy Efficiency: A door replacement is a great opportunity to increase your home’s energy efficiency and in turn lower your energy bills. Energy efficiency isn’t something we can see or touch, so you need to rely on ratings such as Energy Star and R-value as well as our team members to help guide you during your purchase decision.

Q: How do you know when doors need to be replaced?

With years of exposure to the elements, your door can begin to show signs of breaking down. While gaskets and weather stripping can be replaced, there are some issues that just can’t be repaired. Here are the key signs that it is time to replace your entry door. 1.Difficulty Opening/Closing: If it is difficult to open or close your door it could be because the door wasn’t installed properly from the start, or more likely because the door has warped or shifted over time. A warped or shifted door will rub against the door frame or even your floor making it difficult to open or close. 2.Excessive Damage: Your doors will always be susceptible to scrapes and dings, but when your door has damage beyond simple superficial damage such as cracks, rust, warping and rot, your door may be compromised and unsafe. 3.Does Not Seal Properly: If you are able to feel a draft or seem light coming in from around your doors, this means that your doors are not sealing properly and are no longer energy efficient. With any size gap around your door, air is able to enter and escape from your home. This means in the summer months, warm air will enter your home and in the winter months, warm air will leave your home. Both cases will result in excessive energy consumption. 4.Outdated Design: If your door does not match the rest of your home’s decor or if the style of your door doesn’t convey the first impressions you want, it is time to replace your door. A new front door can change your home’s ambiance and instantly increase curb appeal. As with most upgrades, replacing your front door will also increase your property’s value.

Q: What are the benefits of replacing my doors?

Q: What can I expect during a door installation?

After the initial measurements are taken and your door is ordered, we will schedule an appointment to install your entry door. The process is fairly straightforward, we begin by removing the old door and frame (if you would like to keep your old door or hardware, please let us know in advance). The entire new entry door and frame will be placed in the opening, secured with screws and shimmed to ensure the perfect fit. Once the door is fully secured in place, it is finished off with trim and caulk. Finally, the old door, frame and any other material is cleaned up and discarded, leaving you with just your beautifully installed entry door.

Q: Which type of entry door is the most energy efficient?

Fiberglass doors are some of the most energy efficient entry doors available. Fiberglass is a poor conductor of heat and electricity as it is, but when combined with insulation, its energy efficiency is hard to beat.

Q: Are picture windows easy to clean?

Cleaning a picture window is fairly simple as all you need to do is wipe down the glass with a cleaning solution. This will provide you with a clear, streak free view of the outside. Where picture windows are a hassle, is when cleaning the exterior. If your window is located above your reach, you will need to get out a ladder to reach your window, as you are not able to clean picture windows from inside your home.
