Types of Exterior Doors Offered

Fiberglass Entry Doors

Fiberglass is a superior material and it's known for its durable and low maintenance qualities. In fact, most of the front doors we install are fiberglass.

Sliding / Gliding Doors

Sliding/gliding patio doors save space by not opening into your home but rather gliding open from the left or right, connecting your indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Steel Entry Doors

Steel offers unmatched strength. It’s most commonly used as an entry door material for a highly secure entry point. Steel is also very long lasting and easy to maintain.

How Much Does It Cost to Put in an Entry Door?

Cost is a top concern for many homeowners, but it isn't easy to give exact costs until we learn about your needs and design goals. The great news is we can start you off with averages.

The cost for an entry door replacement can range from $2,700 to $12,400, depending on the type of material, style, and complexity of the installation. Working with a professional entry door installation contractor ensures you get quality materials and impeccable service.

What Type of Door is Best for an Exterior Door?

Choosing the best door for your exterior depends on your specific needs and style. Fiberglass exterior doors are highly durable, resist wear and tear, and offer excellent insulation. Steel entry doors provide strong security and durability, making them ideal for added protection.

Wood doors have a natural beauty that homeowners love, but they do come with downsides, like higher maintenance, repainting and sealing more frequently, and needing replacement sooner rather than later. Luckily, fiberglass doors are available with woodgrain that mimics the real thing without all the cons.

As for style, or for those looking to enhance indoor-outdoor flow, sliding or gliding doors are a stylish option that maximizes natural light and saves space. These styles are perfect for accessing your backyard or porch. 

How Often Should You Replace Your Exterior Door?

On average, an exterior door lasts around 20 years with proper care, though this depends on factors like material, climate, and maintenance. Fiberglass and steel doors can last even longer if they're well-maintained.

If you're undergoing an exterior remodel, like replacing your Hardie Board siding or updating your windows, consider updating your exterior doors as well. If your door is showing signs of wear, it's worth getting an assessment from a trusted contractor.

An entry door contractor can help assess the condition and recommend the best replacement options based on your needs and your budget.

What Our Clients Think

"Marek and the Smardbuild team did a beautiful job on our siding project! We replaced our 36 year old cedar siding with James Hardie plank siding. New soffits, fascias, frieze boards and gutters were also part of the work. Their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Unlike some other contractors we interviewed, Marek followed the James Hardie specs with care, precision and no unapproved substitutions. Even in the winter, the job was done in a careful, timely manner. We highly recommend Smardbuild!"

What Our Clients Think

"Mark from SmardBuild construction is an honest hard-working man. Used him for Hardie board siding. Was referred to him by a friend. He is awesome!  He gave us a fair and honest estimate. I also used him for the replacement of windows on a rental property. He is so nice to work with and did exactly what he said and when he said he would do it. I will definitely use him for all my future projects. Great work and person. Would highly recommend him."
