Entry Doors — What to Expect
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 A warped, drafty, or outdated entry door hurts curb appeal, lets in outside air, and compromises security.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.
Entry Doors for Auburn, CA Homes
Auburn is the Placer County seat and sits at about 1,200 feet elevation where Highway 49 meets I-80. The city has a wide range of housing: historic structures in Old Town Auburn, mid-century ranch homes throughout the central neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions climbing the hillsides east of town. Each of these building types presents different glass and window challenges. Old Town buildings often have original wood-frame windows with irregular dimensions, while tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s typically need aluminum-frame replacements upgraded to vinyl or fiberglass.
Auburn's climate is moderate compared to higher foothill towns, but summer temperatures still exceed 100 degrees on the hottest days. Solar heat gain is a real concern, especially for west-facing windows on homes without mature tree cover. We specify Low-E coatings and argon-filled units as standard for Auburn projects. For homes in the tree-heavy ravine areas near the confluence, moisture management and proper window flashing matter more than in the drier ridge neighborhoods.
Colfax Glass is about 25 minutes from most Auburn addresses. We serve the full Auburn area including North Auburn, the Highway 49 corridor toward Cool, and properties along Foresthill Road. Our familiarity with Placer County building codes and permit requirements helps keep projects on schedule.
