A front door is the one exterior upgrade you touch every day
A worn, drafty, hollow-steel door quietly erodes three things at once: your home's curb appeal, its winter heating bill, and how the house feels the moment you walk in. The fix is not complicated — but it has to be done right, by someone who measures twice and carries the right stock.
We install entry doors across Nassau and Suffolk counties: fiberglass, steel, and solid wood, in pre-hung and slab configurations, with or without sidelights and transoms. We only carry two brands — Therma-Tru and Andersen — because those are the two we can stand behind with a straight face.
Measured in the morning, installed by dinner
Most Long Island door companies take a measurement one week, disappear, then come back three weeks later with a crew of two. We run a tighter loop: if you pick from the Therma-Tru and Andersen stock we keep on hand, we can measure, deliver, install, and clean up in a single day.
Day-of flow:
- 7:30 AM — crew arrives, drop cloths down, existing door removed
- 9:00 AM — rough opening prepped, new frame squared and shimmed
- 11:30 AM — door hung, hardware installed, weatherstripping set
- 1:30 PM — exterior trim caulked, interior casing re-fit
- 3:00 PM — final walkthrough, cleanup, we are gone
Custom-order doors (unusual size, specialty glass, or a non-stock color) add 2–4 weeks to delivery, but the install itself is still one day.
Fiberglass, steel, or solid wood
Fiberglass (Therma-Tru Classic-Craft or Fiber-Classic) — our most-installed door. Looks like stained wood, never swells, never rots, insulates better than anything else we hang. Right call for 70% of Long Island homes.
Steel (Therma-Tru Smooth-Star) — strongest security and the best value. Great for side and garage-to-house doors. Paints beautifully. Dents if something hits it hard.
Solid wood (custom orders) — the only choice if you want a fully traditional Hamptons or Garden City center-hall look. More maintenance, better resale in historic-district homes.
