Comparing Entry Door Materials
- Fiberglass: resists dents, rot and swelling; can be stained to look like oak or painted any color. Our most recommended option for humid weather.
- Steel: strong, secure and economical; keep it painted to prevent rust where it gets scratched.
- Wood: unmatched character, but needs regular refinishing and a covered porch to perform well here.
All three can be ordered with decorative glass, sidelights or a transom.
Patio Doors for Light and Access
Sliding patio doors save floor space and offer wide views. Hinged French doors open the full width and add a classic look. Both should have Low-E tempered glass to block summer heat and meet safety requirements. If you have a deck or porch out back, we help you pick a door that swings or slides without blocking furniture or traffic.
Storm Doors: A Second Line of Defense
A storm door shields your entry door from rain and sun, which can extend the life of its finish. Models with retractable screens or interchangeable glass panels let you catch a breeze in spring and fall. They also give an extra layer of security when you want the main door open.
Sealing the Threshold
Most door leaks start at the bottom. We check the subfloor for soft spots, set the sill on a bed of sealant with sill flashing beneath it, adjust the threshold to meet the door sweep, and make sure the frame is square so the weatherstrip touches all the way around. We hand you written details on both the door maker's warranty and our installation coverage. Considering windows too? See our Yazoo City window installation page or our window and door services across Mississippi.
Common Questions
What are the benefits of a new energy-efficient door?
An insulated slab, tight weatherstripping and Low-E glass reduce drafts and heat gain, making the entry area more comfortable and easing the load on your AC.
How do I know it is time to replace my door?
Visible daylight around the edges, a sagging slab, rot at the bottom of the frame, or a lock that is hard to turn are common signs.
Can I customize the look of my door?
Yes. You can choose the color, stain, glass style, sidelights, transoms and hardware finish to suit your home.
How long does door installation take?
A single door replacement is usually completed in less than a day. Projects with multiple doors and windows typically take one to two days.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Your estimate includes a written explanation of the manufacturer's warranty and our workmanship warranty.
