Entry Doors

The front door is the most visible component of a home's exterior. A warped, drafty, or outdated entry door hurts curb appeal, lets in outside air, and compromises security. Replacing it improves the look, feel, and energy performance of the entire front of the house.

Colfax Glass installs fiberglass, steel, and wood entry doors from JELD-WEN and Milgard. Fiberglass is the most popular choice for foothill homes because it resists warping in the heat, does not dent like steel, and can be stained or painted to mimic real wood grain. Steel doors offer the strongest security at the lowest price point. Wood doors provide a traditional aesthetic but require more maintenance, especially in areas with significant temperature swings like Grass Valley and Foresthill.

We handle the full entry system, not just the door slab. That includes sidelites, transoms, decorative glass inserts, new locksets, hinges, and threshold hardware. For homes in Brookings and Crescent City, we recommend marine-grade hardware finishes and fiberglass construction to resist moisture and salt corrosion. For Sacramento and Roseville homes, we focus on insulated cores and tight weatherstripping to manage summer heat transfer.

Every installation includes a pre-hung frame set plumb and square in the opening, continuous weatherstripping, and an adjustable threshold for a solid draft seal at the bottom. We test deadbolt and latch engagement at the end of every job to confirm security and smooth operation.
