Wondering if double doors are right for your home? Discover the pros and cons of double front doors based on 20+ years of installation experience.
Here you’ll find our before-and-after front door replacement projects.
Most of the jobs you’ll see here aren’t simple swaps — they’re full transformations: single doors turned into double entries, standard openings replaced with 8-foot fiberglass doors, and everything in between.
Each project tells its own story — why the homeowner wanted a change, what we installed, and how it reshaped the entry.
Most installations we handle locally, but if you’re outside our service area, we ship custom doors Canada-wide.
We’ll manufacture, finish, and crate your door for freight delivery anywhere in the country.
Whether you’re in Ontario, Alberta, BC, or the Maritimes — your front door replacement project can still start here.
A front door carries more visual weight than people think.
Change the scale, material, or the amount of light it lets in — and the whole house looks refreshed.
A front door replacement can:
Every project starts with a conversation about these things:
What We Assess |
Why It Matters |
Material (fiberglass, steel, woodgrain finishes) |
Determines durability, insulation, and long-term maintenance |
Height & Width |
Proper proportions make the biggest visual difference |
Glass & Privacy |
Controls natural light without exposing the interior |
If you’re replacing your front door, think long-term.
That door will open and close thousands of times and face every season we get here. It needs to feel solid when it shuts — no rattles, no drafts, no gaps.
A good replacement doesn’t look “new.” It looks like it always belonged there.
I’ve been installing doors since 2001, and the best compliment I hear is: “It looks like it’s always been part of the house.” That’s when you know the proportions, finish, and installation were done right.
I get this question on almost every call, so here’s the honest breakdown.
Factor |
How It Affects Cost |
Door material (fiberglass vs steel) |
Fiberglass costs more but lasts longer and offers better insulation |
Height/width |
Larger, custom-sized units require frame modification and custom manufacturing |
Glass (clear, frosted, stained) |
Privacy, stained glass, and wrought-iron designs increase cost |
Hardware |
Multipoint locks add security, smooth operation, and long-term durability |
Design options (plank, stripes, grooves, executive panels vs embossed) |
Detailed or premium designs cost more; embossed steel is budget-friendly; executive panels and deep grooves look richer and require more finishing |
