Steel vs. Fibreglass Entry Doors
Welland neighbourhoods vary from heritage brick homes around Chippawa Park to newer builds in South Pelham and Dain City — and each style benefits from a different type of entry system. Here’s a quick comparison to help you choose the material that best suits your home’s appearance, durability needs, and long-term comfort.
Steel Entry Doors
- Strong security and impact resistance
- Smooth, modern panels with clean architectural lines
- Cost-effective while still offering excellent performance
- Great for brick-front and older homes with tight openings
Fibreglass Entry Doors
- Realistic woodgrain look without ongoing maintenance
- Resists dents, warping, and moisture issues
- Among the most energy-efficient options available
- Ideal for humid summers and freeze–thaw cycles near the canal
Not sure which direction to go? We can bring samples, explain the benefits of each material, and help you choose the door that best fits your home’s curb appeal, comfort goals, and budget.
Light, Privacy & Curb Appeal at Your Front Entry

Thinking Beyond the Front Door?
If you’re planning multiple upgrades, we can coordinate your entry door replacement with other exterior improvements. Many homeowners pair a new door with efficient window replacement for a cleaner look, better comfort, and a more consistent finish from the street.
How We Install Entry Doors
A proper door installation starts with the opening, not just the door itself. Our crews use a full-frame replacement method to ensure your new entry, garden, or French door sits correctly, seals tightly, and delivers long-term performance.
- Remove the existing door, frame, and exterior trims down to the rough opening.
- Inspect the sill and surrounding framing for moisture, rot, or structural issues.
- Position the new door frame level and square for smooth operation.
- Secure the frame with durable fasteners and shims where required.
- Insulate and seal all perimeter gaps to reduce drafts and moisture infiltration.
- Install fresh exterior brickmould and trims for a clean, finished appearance.
- Apply premium exterior caulking and complete final adjustments.
Why We Recommend Full-Frame Door Replacement
Reusing an older frame often leads to ongoing drafts, poor alignment, and compromised sills. A full-frame replacement allows us to correct these issues and deliver a proper fit from day one.
It takes a bit more work on installation day, but it ensures reliable performance through seasonal temperature changes.
