Which exterior door does your house need?

An exterior door is the one part of the house people touch every day, so the right choice depends on what it has to do. An entry door sets the look from the street and has to seal and lock well. A storm door adds a second layer and lets you open up the house on a mild day. A sliding or hinged patio door trades wall for light and a way out to the yard.

In North Texas, sun is the thing to plan around. A west-facing door takes the afternoon heat, which affects the finish you choose and how much glass makes sense. Houses that move on clay soil can also leave a door binding or leaking air even when the door itself is fine, so we check the frame and the opening before suggesting a new one.

What Does Each Type of Door Do Best?

Whatever the opening, the install matters as much as the door. Ours are set square, sealed and finished so they close cleanly for years, not just on handover day.

Front Entry Doors

Curb Appeal

Replacement front entry doors: solid, well-sealed, with the sidelights, glass and hardware chosen to suit the elevation. For homeowners who want the single change that does the most for how the house reads from the curb.

  • Better weather seal than a tired original door
  • Improved security at the main point of entry
  • Glass, sidelight and hardware options to match the house

Sliding Patio Glass Doors

Space Saving

Sliding patio doors for rooms where floor space is tight, because nothing swings into the room. Modern rollers and a properly set track make the difference between a door that glides and one you shoulder.

  • No swing space needed inside or out
  • Large glass area brings light into the room
  • Smooth-running track and modern locking hardware

Hinged Patio Doors

Classic

French-style doors that swing open properly and give you a wide, unobstructed opening onto the patio. A more traditional look than a slider, and a better seal when closed.

  • Wide clear opening when both panels are open
  • Traditional look that suits most Texas elevations
  • Multi-point locking for a tighter close

Storm Doors

Protection

Storm doors: an extra layer in front of your entry door. They let you open up for a breeze without opening the house to everything else, and take the weather so your main door doesn’t.

  • Protects the entry door from sun and driving rain
  • Ventilate without leaving the main door open
  • Interchangeable glass and screen panels

Before You Commit to New Doors

  • Check the frame, not just the door. Rot, movement and a worn threshold are common on older openings, and a new door fitted to a bad frame will not seal.
  • Match the type to the room. A slider saves the floor space a hinged door needs; hinged doors give a wider clear opening and seal harder when closed.
  • Think about security and weather. Glass, locks and a storm door in front all change how the opening performs, and they are cheaper to decide now than to retrofit.

How a Door Project Runs

  1. 1

    A free measure and estimate

    We measure the opening, check the frame and threshold for rot or movement, and price the door, hardware and trim as one job.

  2. 2

    Ordered to the opening

    The door is built to the measurements, so the fit is square and the weatherstrip actually seals rather than being forced to close.

  3. 3

    Framing done properly

    Where the frame or sill needs repair, it is repaired before the door goes in. A good door on a bad frame is a callback waiting to happen.

  4. 4

    Walkthrough and warranty

    We check the swing, latch and lock with you, adjust anything that needs it, and leave the manufacturer and installation warranties.

Doors: common questions

Decide how much light you want against how much privacy, then whether sidelights or a transom suit the front of the house. We bring samples so you can see them against your brick and trim.

Whatever the opening needs. We set doors square and seal them properly, which is most of what makes a door close cleanly for years.

If your entry faces the weather, yes. It protects the main door and lets you ventilate without opening up the house.

Most often the house has moved. Clay soil under DFW slabs shifts with the seasons and pulls the opening out of square. A new door set properly corrects the opening, not just the slab.

Wipe it down, keep the weatherstrip clean, and check that the threshold still seals. If it has a painted or stained finish, look at the side that gets afternoon sun each year.

Sliding if floor space is tight, since nothing swings into the room. Hinged for a wider clear opening and a more traditional look. Both seal better than a tired original.

What drives the cost of a new door?

The door itself is only part of the number. The opening and the finish matter too.

  • Type and material. Fiberglass, steel, storm, sliding and hinged doors all sit at different levels.
  • Glass and sidelights. More glass or added sidelights means more material and a larger opening to fit.
  • Standard or custom size. An odd-sized opening may need a made-to-order door or added framing.
  • Hardware and finish. Locks, handles and finishes are chosen separately.
  • The condition of the frame. A rotted sill or a frame that has moved has to be repaired first.

We do not publish a price list, because these change the number more than the product does. The free in-home estimate puts your numbers in writing.
