Your front door is the first thing people see when they pull up to your home. It’s also one of the hardest-working parts of your exterior — keeping out the cold, the wind, and anyone who shouldn’t be coming in.
In Chicago, doors take a beating. Freeze-thaw cycles warp frames. Hard winters break down seals. Old hollow-core doors that were fine in the 90s are costing homeowners real money in heat loss every single winter.
This page covers every door service we offer to Chicago-area homeowners — entry doors, exterior doors, front door replacements, and energy-efficient options. Find what fits your home, then give us a call. We’ll come out, take a look, and give you a free estimate with no pressure.
We’ve been doing this work for over 20 years. We’re local, we’re family-owned, and we back every install with a lifetime warranty.
Entry Door Installation in Chicago
Sometimes you’re not replacing an old door — you’re putting one in where there wasn’t one before. A new addition, a remodeled entryway, a garage conversion that needs a proper exterior entry. That’s a different job than a simple swap, and it needs a crew that knows how to work with your home’s framing.
We install entry doors in new openings across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We measure carefully, set the frame right, and make sure the door operates smoothly and seals properly from day one.
A lot of Park Ridge and Des Plaines homes have gone through additions over the decades. New entries get added, old layouts change. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to get a clean install no matter what the opening looks like.
What you can expect:
New entry door installed plumb, level, and fully sealed
Solid frame set correctly — not just the door slab dropped into an old opening
Wide selection of door styles, materials, and hardware
Clean finish on both sides — no exposed gaps, no rough edges
Exterior Door Installation in Chicago
Not every door that matters is the front door. Side entries, back doors, garage entries — these get used every day and they take just as much weather stress as your front door. Sometimes more, depending on which way they face.
We install exterior doors in any opening around your home. We match the door to your exterior style and make sure it’s properly flashed and sealed so water and cold air stay outside where they belong.
Older homes on Chicago’s Northwest Side and in the near suburbs often have secondary entries that haven’t been touched in 30 or 40 years. A worn-out back door with a broken seal can cost as much in heat loss as a drafty window — and it’s a security risk on top of that.
What you can expect:
Any exterior opening handled — front, back, side, or garage entry
Door matched to your home’s existing exterior finish and siding
Properly flashed and sealed against Chicago weather
Works with vinyl, fiber cement, brick, and wood exteriors
Front Door Replacement in Chicago
Your front door sets the tone for your whole home. If it’s warped, sticking, drafty, or just dated — that’s what people notice first. A new front door is one of the fastest ways to improve how your home looks and how it performs.
We replace front doors across Chicago and the northwest suburbs. We pull the old door and frame, inspect the opening, and install a new unit that hangs level, closes tight, and looks great from the street.
Homes in neighborhoods like Jefferson Park, Portage Park, and across the Northwest Side have a lot of character — but a lot of them are also carrying original doors from decades ago. A new front door doesn’t change what makes your home yours. It just makes it work the way it should.
What you can expect:
Old door and frame removed cleanly without damaging surrounding siding or trim
New door hung level with smooth, easy operation
Immediate improvement to curb appeal and first impressions
Available in traditional, craftsman, modern, and custom styles
Entry Door Replacement in Chicago
If your entry door doesn’t close right, gaps around the edges, or lets cold air in no matter how many times you’ve tried to fix it — the problem is usually the frame, not just the door itself.
We replace entry doors as full units — door and frame together. That’s the fix that actually holds up. Patching a bad frame with new weatherstripping buys you one more winter, maybe two. A full replacement solves it.
We work on entry door replacements throughout Chicago and the suburbs, including a lot of older homes in Glenview and Morton Grove where original entry doors have been in place for 40 or 50 years. At that point, replacement isn’t optional — it’s overdue.
What you can expect:
Existing door and hardware removed, opening inspected before anything new goes in
Full unit replaced — door slab and frame together
Better insulation and a real drop in drafts near the entry
Improved security — a properly set door and frame is much harder to force
Energy-Efficient Exterior Door Installation in Chicago
Chicago winters are long and expensive. If your heating bill feels higher than it should be, your exterior doors might be a bigger part of the problem than you think. Old hollow-core doors with worn seals lose a surprising amount of heat — and most homeowners don’t realize it until they replace them.
We install energy-efficient exterior doors with insulated cores, quality weatherstripping, and tight threshold seals that stop air from sneaking in at the edges. The difference is noticeable from the first cold snap.
Homeowners across the Chicago area — especially in older bungalows and two-flats on the Northwest Side — have seen real drops in drafts and heating costs after switching to insulated doors. It’s one of those upgrades that pays for itself over time.
What you can expect:
Insulated foam-core door that cuts heat transfer through the door itself
Weatherstripping and threshold seal that close off air at the edges
Works on any exterior opening — front, back, or side entry
Year-round benefit — warmer in winter, cooler in summer
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a door installation take? Most single-door installs take 2 to 4 hours. If we’re replacing the frame too, add a little time. We’ll give you a clear estimate of the timeline before we start.
Do I need to replace the frame, or just the door? It depends on what’s wrong. If the door is the only issue — a crack, a dent, old hardware — sometimes the slab alone is enough. But if the door sticks, gaps, or lets in drafts, the frame is usually the real problem. We’ll check both when we come out.
What’s the difference between an entry door and a front door? A front door is always an entry door, but an entry door isn’t always the front one. Entry doors include any door that leads into the home from outside — front, side, or back. We install and replace all of them.
Do you install doors in winter? Yes. We work year-round across Chicago. We move quickly during installs to minimize heat loss, and we seal the opening properly before we leave.
What door materials do you work with? We work with steel, fiberglass, and wood doors depending on your needs, budget, and home style. Each has different strengths — we’ll walk you through the options when we come out.
Do your doors come with a warranty? Yes. We offer a lifetime warranty on our products. It covers what we install and can transfer to a new owner if you sell.
How do I know if my door needs to be replaced or just repaired? If the door sticks seasonally, it might just be humidity. But if it sticks year-round, gaps at the top or sides, or lets in cold air no matter what — that’s a frame or seal issue that repair won’t fix long-term. Give us a call and describe what you’re seeing. We’ll tell you straight.
What areas do you serve? We serve Chicago and the broader Chicagoland area — including Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Morton Grove, Niles, Glenview, Winnetka, Naperville, Evanston, Hoffman Estates, and more.
