Question 1

What Kind of Door Is Right For My Home?

Accepted Answer

There are many things to keep in mind when choosing the right front door for your home, like security, durability, curb appeal, and energy efficiency, to name a few. As an example of how involved this decision can be, here are some considerations when choosing between a steel and fiberglass entry door:

Steel – If security is your top priority, then a steel door is a good choice. Steel doors from West Shore Home feature mechanical interlocks that give them exceptional structural strength, providing you with the ultimate defense against potential intruders. They also come with an energy-efficient thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer.

Fiberglass – If you’re looking for beauty, style, and aesthetic appeal, fiberglass doors may be the way to go. The stunning fiberglass doors we install don’t warp, crack, dent, or rust, giving you an entry door that will look new for years to come with minimal maintenance. Fiberglass doors also provide good insulation and help to eliminate heat transfer.

Both of these front entry door options come in a variety of styles and can be completely customized, allowing you to create the perfect door for your home. The best way for you to determine which entry door would be right for you is to meet with a design expert from West Shore Home for a free in-home consultation.

Question 3

How Much Will An Exterior Door Replacement Cost?

Accepted Answer

There are many different variables that go into determining how much a new door will cost, such as the material the door is made out of, the customizations you want, and the size you need. The cost of a door replacement project can also be impacted by who handles the installation. You may find individuals willing to put in a door at a cheap price, but remember that oftentimes when it comes to workmanship you get what you pay for. When it comes to your home’s entryways, the last thing you want is shoddy work that potentially jeopardizes your home’s security.

Question 4

How Do I Know If I Need A Storm Door?

Accepted Answer

A storm door is a second, outer door that goes in front of your front entry door, serving as the first line of defense against bad weather. It also allows you to open your front door and let ventilation and light into the home when the weather is nice. If your front door is regularly exposed to elements such as wind, rain, ice, or snow, then having a storm door is a good idea to keep your front door in prime condition. Additionally, if you would just like to enjoy the view of the outdoors while keeping the bugs out, then a storm door is also a great option.

Still not sure if you need a storm door or not? Don’t worry, just contact West Shore Home to receive a free in-home consultation and our experts will help you decide if a storm door is right for you.
