Portage Ave entry and patio doors — sealed against the cold
Steel and fiberglass entry doors, sliding and French patio doors, storm and garden doors — installed weathertight so cold air stops pouring in at the threshold. Same crew, same written-quote promise as our windows.
A drafty front door leaks heat and comfort every day of a Portage Ave winter — you feel it as the cold air spilling across the entry floor. We install insulated steel and fiberglass entry doors with a foam-filled core, a proper adjustable threshold and full weatherstripping, so the cold stops at the door instead of pouring into the hall. A new entry system tightens up security and instantly lifts curb appeal, too.
For the backyard, sliding patio doors and French patio doors bring in daylight and open the room to the yard while sealing tight against drafts, with multi-point locks and low, easy-glide sills. Garden doors give you the swing-door look with a built-in screen for summer airflow.
Add a storm door for a second winter barrier and three-season ventilation, or a sliding glass door where floor space is tight. Every door is measured to the opening, installed plumb and fully weather-sealed, and backed in writing — so it swings true, latches cleanly and keeps the cold out for years.

Materials, cost and cold-weather sealing for Portage Ave doors.
Both insulate far better than an old wood or half-glass door, so it comes down to budget and looks. Steel is the budget-friendly, secure choice and holds paint well, though it can dent and will show a scratch. Fiberglass costs more but resists dents, never rusts, and will not warp, swell or crack through our freeze-thaw swings — and it can be finished to mimic real wood grain. For a north- or west-facing entry that takes the wind, we usually lean fiberglass for the long-term stability. We walk you through the trade-offs, glass options and hardware at the estimate so the choice fits your door and your budget.
Sometimes, but not always. If the slab and frame are sound, we can often re-seal by adjusting the threshold, replacing the door sweep and renewing the weatherstripping — an affordable fix that stops the floor-level draft. But a threshold that keeps leaking usually points to a worn or bowed door, a settled frame or a failed sill pan, and in that case a new door with a proper adjustable sill is the lasting answer. We check what is actually causing the draft and quote the smaller fix first when it will hold.
Yes — sliding patio doors, French swing doors and garden doors, all installed weathertight with smooth, secure multi-point hardware. Sliding doors are the space-saver and great where a swing would hit furniture; French and garden doors give you the wide, traditional opening and a screen for summer airflow. We set every one level and square, insulate and seal the frame, and adjust the rollers or hinges so it glides and latches the way it should — no sticking, no draft at the meeting rail.
It depends on the door slab, the glass inserts, the hardware and whether the frame needs replacing too. A straightforward steel entry costs less than a fiberglass door with decorative glass and a multi-point lock, and patio doors are priced by size and pane count. There can be extra work if the opening has water damage or is out of square. We measure first, then give you a written, itemized quote that lists the door, the glass, the hardware and the install, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anything is ordered.
Yes — if the frame or sill is rotted or out of square we replace it too, so the new door seals properly rather than covering an old problem.
