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 A warped, drafty, or outdated entry door hurts curb appeal, lets in outside air, and compromises security.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 Colfax, CA Homes
Colfax sits at roughly 2,400 feet along the I-80 corridor, where the Sacramento Valley transitions into the Sierra foothills. The town's housing stock reflects its railroad heritage: older wood-frame homes from the early 1900s sit alongside newer construction from the 1990s and 2000s. Many of these older homes still have original single-pane windows that leak air and struggle against foothill temperature swings. Our shop at 226 N Auburn St means Colfax residents get the fastest turnaround of any area we serve.
Winter temperatures in Colfax regularly dip below freezing, and summer highs push into the upper 90s. That range puts serious demand on windows and doors. We recommend dual-pane, Low-E glass for most Colfax homes to reduce heat gain in summer and retain warmth in winter. For homes on the north side of the canyon or in shaded lots, condensation resistance is an important factor in product selection.
Because we are headquartered here, we know the local building styles inside out. We handle everything from single-window replacements in downtown bungalows to full-house upgrades in the newer subdivisions off Grass Valley Street. We also serve nearby communities including Alta, Gold Run, and Dutch Flat from this home base.
