Exterior door pricing depends on material, style, glass inserts, hardware, and whether the frame needs replacing. A steel exterior door with installation typically starts around $800 to $1,500. Fiberglass doors from ProVia start higher depending on finish and glass options. We provide a free written estimate at your home so you know the exact price before any work begins.

Fiberglass is the most popular choice. It resists dents, rot, warping, and salt air corrosion better than wood. Steel is the most affordable and most secure. Wood looks classic but needs more maintenance, especially on the South Shore where moisture and UV exposure are higher. We carry all three materials and can show you samples at our Freeport showroom.

Most single exterior door replacements are completed in one day. If the frame needs to be torn out and rebuilt, it may take a second day. We give you a clear timeline during the in-home estimate.

Fiberglass costs more but resists dents and corrosion better than steel. It also insulates better and can be stained to look like real wood. Steel is stronger, more affordable, and offers the highest security rating. For Long Island’s salt air and weather, fiberglass tends to hold up longer with less maintenance.

If the frame is solid and square, we install the new door into the existing frame. If the frame is rotted, warped, or damaged, we replace the entire unit including the frame, threshold, and weatherstripping. We check this during the free estimate.
