Entry Doors in Des Moines

A Front Door That Looks Right and Seals Tight

Your entry door gets used more than any other part of your exterior, and it takes the full force of Iowa wind, sleet and summer sun. An old door that sticks, rattles or lets light through around the edges is costing you comfort and heat.

We replace front, side and back entry doors and install them the way an exterior contractor should: square and plumb, with the sill flashed and sealed, the frame insulated and the weatherstripping set so the door closes tight. Because we also do siding and trim, the door gets finished into the wall properly instead of caulked and left.

  5. Insulate, flash & seal

    The sill is flashed, gaps are insulated and the exterior is sealed against water and air.

FAQ

Entry Doors FAQs

Should I choose a steel or fiberglass entry door?

Steel doors are strong, secure and cost less. Fiberglass resists dents and rot, holds up well in temperature swings and can be finished to look like wood. We'll show you both.

How long does it take to replace an entry door?

Most single entry doors are replaced in one day.

Will a new door lower my energy bills?

A new insulated door that's installed and sealed properly stops drafts and air leaks, which helps your heating and cooling. How much you save depends on how leaky the old door was.

Can you match the door to my siding and trim?

Yes. Because we also install siding and trim, we can finish the door opening so it fits the rest of your exterior.

Do you provide free estimates for entry doors?

Yes. We'll measure, go over your options and give you a written estimate for free.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing options so you can spread the cost of new entry or patio doors into manageable payments. We also accept cash, check and card. Ask about financing at your free estimate and we'll walk you through the options.
