There are several signs that may indicate it's time to replace your door. One of the most common is rotting at the bottom corners of the door or frame, which can compromise structural stability and your home's protection. Another clear indicator is feeling air drafts around the edges of the door, suggesting it's no longer insulating your home effectively.

Age is also an important factor. If you recently purchased your home or aren't sure when the door was installed, check the upper portion of the door frame for a warranty label. If no warranty sticker is present, it may be time to consider a new door.

Exterior-door lifespan varies based on the material, weather exposure, installation quality, maintenance, and the condition of the frame, threshold, glass, and hardware. ProVia provides a limited lifetime warranty on eligible fiberglass and steel door slabs for the original homeowner, although coverage periods differ for finishes and other components. We can inspect your complete door system and advise whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

This is a great question. Fiberglass doors are made of reinforced glass fibers bonded through resins and heat to form a polyurethane foam core. These are great for energy efficiency and security. Steel doors, by contrast, are made of a compound that uses iron and carbon. These doors offer high-grade security with standard energy efficiency.

We offer a variety of doors to fit different budgets and preferences, and in most cases, painting is not required. Many doors, such as ProVia doors, come factory-finished with durable paint options backed by a manufacturer's warranty, so they arrive ready to install. For more budget-conscious homeowners, primed doors are also a great option. They allow for customization and a DIY approach while helping keep costs down.

This is a great question. If you are not having any issues with your transom and sidelites, you do not necessarily need to replace them. However, we highly recommend new installation with a new door due to the aesthetic changes to the exterior of your home.

Exterior door installation costs vary based on the door material, size, panel configuration, glass, sidelites, transoms, hardware, finishing, and any necessary framing work. Based on recent Classic Remodeling projects, installed exterior doors commonly range from $1,500 to $6,500 or more. Your written estimate will reflect the exact door and installation work required for your home.
