Why it matters

An extra barrier at the door

A storm door mounts in front of your entry door and adds an insulating air gap that cuts winter drafts and shields the main door from rain, snow and sun — which also helps your entry door last longer and keep its finish. In summer you swap or retract the glass for a screen, so the same door gives you a breeze and keeps the bugs out.

It is a budget-friendly way to boost comfort and protect a good entry door, and it adds a second lockable barrier at the front of the house.

On a character home where you want to keep the original entry door, a storm door is an especially smart add — the protection and efficiency without changing the look of the main door.

What you get

Protection, airflow, security

A storm door only helps if it seals, so we fit it tightly to your existing frame, hang it true, and set it up with secure hardware and a smooth, adjustable closer so it shuts gently and latches every time rather than banging or blowing open.

It is a quick install, quoted up front, and we make sure the glass and screen panels swap easily for the season and that the closer and safety chain are set for our winds.

Common questions

Storm Door Installation questions answered

Winter help, summer airflow and added security.

Yes — the trapped air gap between the storm door and your entry door reduces drafts and acts as a buffer against the wind and cold, and it protects the main door from the direct blast of snow, ice and freeze-thaw that wears out finishes and seals. It will not turn a poor entry door into a great one, but on top of a decent door it is a real, low-cost comfort improvement and it extends the life of the door behind it. The key is a tight fit, which is what makes the air gap actually work.
Yes — most storm doors have interchangeable or retractable glass and screen panels, so you swap the glass out for a screen in the warm months and let the breeze through your open entry door while keeping the bugs out. Retractable-screen models roll the screen away when you want the glass, so you are not storing panels in the garage. It is one of the main reasons homeowners like storm doors: winter protection and an insulating air gap in the cold, easy ventilation in the summer, all from the same door.
They add a second lockable barrier at your entry, which improves security — an intruder has to get through the storm door before even reaching your main door, and a locked storm door is a visible deterrent. Many models come with a keyed lock and a solid frame, and heavier security-storm doors add reinforced construction and tougher screens or grilles. It is not a replacement for a solid, well-locked entry door, but as an added layer it improves security while also giving you ventilation and weather protection. We fit it with secure hardware as part of the install.
Most standard entries take a storm door; we measure the opening and fit it tightly to your frame so it actually seals.
Yes — most have interchangeable or retractable glass and screen panels, so you swap to a screen in summer and glass in winter.
