Quality Exterior Doors & Installation for Austin, TX and Surrounding Counties

New or Replacement Exterior Doors Made Easy
When it comes to putting that signature look on your home or office, the right door can make all of the difference.  Choosing a door that looks just right and has the energy-efficient qualities you’re looking for, however, can be intimidating.  Because there are so many exterior door options in Austin and our surrounding communities—and because it’s often the finishing touch needed when you are doing interior or exterior remodeling—RoofCrafters has turned its attention to helping our customers make the right selection for them.  After all, once you’ve updated your home or office, why not complete the job well?  Our Project Planners can help you sort through all of your choices and guide your selection.  Our skilled craftsmen can get the door hung right. (Their skill is especially important if, in the course of replacing your exterior door, unexpected rotted framing materials are discovered, or there’s a need to do additional structural work to accommodate the installation!)

Things to Consider When Selecting Exterior Doors
Each door type has benefits and drawbacks. Generally speaking, exterior doors are made of wood, fiberglass or steel.  While steel doors usually cost the least and can perform well, they tend to show wear and tear much sooner than wood or fiberglass doors. Fiberglass doors stand up well, but typically do not hold up as long as wood doors. Wood doors are beautiful and stand up well across time, yet require more maintenance—and steel and fiberglass doors have more insulating value than wood doors. We say all of this not to confuse you further, but to emphasize that choosing the door that’s right for you often comes down to personal preference, budget and the specifics of your project!  In most cases, after a short conversation with one of RoofCrafters’ Project Planners, it doesn’t take too long to eliminate many exterior door categories—and start zeroing in on the exterior door that meets your criteria. 

And there’s so much more to consider.  Door surfaces are most typically small compared to siding surface areas, and much of the heating and cooling losses occur around the door itself.  We believe that superior weather stripping, good glass and thresholds are what can really make the difference in the comfort and energy-efficiency of your home or office.  Too, ask one of our project planners about beefing up your locks and strike plates for that added security and peace of mind.  If you want to replace or install new patio doors, choose from a gliding or hinged door type and let us add insulated glass and/or impact rated glass to make them energy efficient, safer, and more secure.  RoofCrafters can also install high performance composite jambs and water proof composite edging to make sure your job is done right!
