Entry Doors
Build the front entrance around proportion, privacy, daylight and the way the door is used every day. Glass, colour and panel design can be considered together.
Choose an entry or patio door around everyday traffic, comfort, security, natural light and the character of your home.
A door that sticks, leaks air, feels cold or no longer closes confidently can make a busy entrance frustrating. Replacement is an opportunity to improve how the opening performs while updating the look of the home.
We start with the opening and your priorities. That may include a brighter front hall, easier access to the backyard, improved weather protection, a more comfortable threshold or a style that works with the exterior rather than competing with it.
Each opening has different exposure, traffic and design needs. We will help narrow the choices to the ones that fit the project.

Build the front entrance around proportion, privacy, daylight and the way the door is used every day. Glass, colour and panel design can be considered together.

Connect indoor and outdoor spaces with a patio door selected for available wall space, traffic flow, views and smooth operation.

Additional glass and weather protection should be planned as part of the complete entrance, with attention to proportion, daylight, clearance and exposure.
Compare the opening type first, then consider sidelights, transoms, door movement, weather exposure and everyday traffic.
Single and double entrances with optional sidelights and transom glass.
Backyard access and additional weather protection for suitable openings.
Door openings carry more variables than width and height. The swing direction, landing, overhang, sun exposure, interior trim, exterior finish and threshold all matter. For patio doors, furniture placement and the path between the kitchen, deck and yard also deserve attention.
Send photos showing these conditions so the quote can identify the included door work and any surrounding finishes that may require separate attention.
Send photos from inside and outside, identify the door type and describe any drafts, sticking, water or operation problems.
