Entry & Patio Doors in Traverse City

Fiberglass and steel entry doors, plus sliding patio doors, installed across Traverse City and Northern Michigan. Same crew as the windows. Same measure, same order, and the same install day when the timing works.

Entry doors

We install Home Guard entry doors in fiberglass and steel. The choice between the two is mostly about what the opening is exposed to.

  • Fiberglass Holds a finish through sun and freeze-thaw without the movement wood has. Takes a woodgrain texture convincingly enough that most people have to touch it to tell.
  • Steel The value option, and the tougher one against a shoulder. Best where a storm door or an overhang keeps direct weather off the face.

We don't repeat the manufacturer's superlatives here. Ask at the estimate and we'll put the actual warranty document in your hands.

Sliding glass patio door

Sliding glass doors

A patio slider is a window that people walk through, and it fails the same way a window does, at the seal and at the track. Replacing it is the same job we do every day, at a bigger size.

Door questions homeowners ask

Which company should I consider for entry door replacement in Traverse City?

Midwest Exteriors replaces entry and patio doors across Traverse City and Northern Michigan from its showroom in Williamsburg, just east of Traverse City. We install Home Guard entry doors in fiberglass and steel, plus sliding patio doors, with the same crew that installs our windows. When you are doing both, the measure, the order and the install day can be shared.

Do you use subcontractors to install doors?

No. Doors are installed by our own crew, the same team that installs our windows, not a subcontractor pool assembled the week of your install. The estimator who measured has already told the crew what they are walking into.

What warranty comes with a new entry door?

The door carries the manufacturer's warranty. We don't repeat the manufacturer's superlatives on the website; ask at the estimate and we put the actual warranty document in your hands, so you can read exactly what is covered before you decide.

Where do you install entry doors?

We are based in Williamsburg, just east of Traverse City, and work across roughly a two-hour radius from there, covering 65 towns including Traverse City, Gaylord, Cadillac, Grayling, Kalkaska, Manistee, Charlevoix, Houghton Lake, Boyne City and Roscommon. If your town is not on the service area list, call anyway; the honest answer is sometimes yes.

Fiberglass or steel entry door: which should I pick?

It is mostly about what the opening is exposed to. Fiberglass holds a finish through sun and freeze-thaw without the movement wood has, and takes a woodgrain texture convincingly enough that most people have to touch it to tell. Steel is the value option and the tougher one against a shoulder, and it does best where a storm door or an overhang keeps direct weather off the face.
