the short answer

the right door, sealed to last

For most Wellesley homes, a fiberglass or steel entry door with a new insulated frame is the best balance of security, efficiency and low maintenance. We measure the opening, check the sill and framing for rot, and install a complete prehung unit so the door seals properly instead of just swinging in an old frame. Most single door replacements are finished in one day.

doors we install in wellesley

Navy front door under a white gable portico

Entry doors

Front and side entry doors in fiberglass, steel and wood, with sidelights, transoms and decorative glass. We match the door style to the house, from a paneled colonial door to a clean modern design.

Storm doors

A storm door protects your entry door from weather and lets you ventilate the house in spring and fall. Today's storm doors are slim, secure and available with retractable screens.

Sliding and patio doors

Sliding patio doors bring in light and open the house to the deck or yard. We install units with modern locking hardware and insulated glass so the patio door is not the coldest spot in the room.

choosing the right door material

Wellesley doors face cold winters, humid summers and big temperature swings between the inside and outside faces of the door. The material decides how well it handles that.

  • Fiberglass: resists denting, warping and rot, insulates well and can be finished to look like stained wood
  • Steel: strong and secure with an insulated core, a good value for side and back entries
  • Wood: the traditional look for historic homes, beautiful but in need of regular refinishing

Fiberglass and steel offer the best insulation and durability for New England weather. Our fiberglass vs steel door guide compares them side by side, and our guide to types of exterior doors covers every option.

Why Installation Matters as Much as the Door

A premium door installed in a rotted or out-of-square frame will still leak air and water. Our installers remove the old unit, inspect the sill and framing, repair what needs it, flash the opening so water drains out instead of in, and set the new door plumb and level. Then we adjust the hardware and weatherstripping so the door closes with an even seal on every side.

Warranty Coverage

Every door we install comes with the manufacturer's warranty plus Plum ProExteriors labor coverage. The exact terms depend on the brand and the door you choose, and we review the coverage with you in writing before installation.

doors and windows together

Many Wellesley homeowners replace doors and windows in the same project so the finishes, hardware and trim match across the front of the house. If you are also considering new windows, see our window replacement page for Wellesley.

frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to install a new front door?

Every door is quoted after we inspect the opening, because material, glass, sidelights and frame repairs all affect the price. Call or send the form for a free on-site estimate.

How long does door installation take?

Most single entry or storm doors are installed in one day. Doors with sidelights or frame repairs can take longer, and we will tell you the schedule up front.

What is the best front door for New England weather?

Fiberglass and steel doors offer the best insulation, durability and resistance to moisture and temperature changes. Fiberglass is the most popular choice because it will not dent or rot.

Do I need to replace the frame too?

Usually, yes. A prehung door with a new frame seals much better than a slab hung in an old frame. If your existing frame is solid and square, we will tell you during the estimate.

How do I choose a door replacement company?

Look for a registered Massachusetts home improvement contractor with insurance, written warranties that cover both product and labor, and reviews from homeowners near you. We provide all three with every estimate.
