Why Replace Your Entry Door?
A new entry door isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s an investment in your home’s security, energy efficiency, and overall value. If your existing door is drafty, weathered, or just outdated, replacing it can make a noticeable difference both inside and out.
Here’s what a professionally installed door from Sutton’s can offer:
Increased Energy Efficiency
Old doors often let in drafts, which can lead to higher utility bills and uneven indoor temperatures. Our replacement doors are designed with insulated cores, weather-resistant seals, and tight-fitting frames that help keep your home comfortable year-round.
Improved Security
We know your door has one job above all else: to keep your family safe. That’s why Sutton’s doors are built strong, with reinforced materials and reliable locking systems that give you peace of mind day and night.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
The front door is a major focal point of your home’s exterior. A beautifully designed new door can instantly refresh your facade, reflect your style, and leave a lasting impression on visitors and passersby.
Custom Functionality
Need wider access? Better lighting with decorative glass? Easy-grip handles for aging family members? We help you customize every element—from materials and colors to hardware and glass inserts—so your door isn’t just attractive but also practical.
Types of Entry Doors We Offer
At Sutton’s, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We offer a variety of materials and design styles to fit every taste, budget, and functional requirement.
Steel Doors
Known for their strength, steel doors offer unmatched security and hold up well against harsh weather. They’re low maintenance, energy efficient, and can be customized with decorative panels, paint finishes, and hardware options.
Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass is a popular choice for homeowners looking for durability with the look of wood. It resists dents, scratches, and warping and works well in a variety of climates. Fiberglass doors are highly insulating and available in a wide range of styles.
Customization Options That Bring It All Together
No two homes are the same, and we believe no two doors should be either. When you work with Sutton’s, you’ll be able to personalize every detail of your entry door, including:
Glass Packages: Choose from clear, frosted, decorative, or privacy glass inserts
Hardware Styles: Select from a range of doorknobs, handles, deadbolts, and finishes
Paints and Stains: Match your door to your siding, trim, or shutters for a coordinated look
Panel Designs: Opt for modern, traditional, or craftsman-style paneling
Transoms and Sidelights: Add extra light and dimension to your entryway
We even bring real sample materials and cutaway pieces of doors during your consultation so you can see and feel the quality up close before making your choice.

At Sutton’s, our goal is to make the replacement and installation process as stress-free as possible. From your first consultation to the final walkthrough, we’re with you every step of the way—and with flexible financing options available, getting started is easier than ever.
1. In-Home Consultation
We begin by visiting your home to understand your goals, preferences, and what isn’t working with your current entry door. During this visit, we’ll bring real samples of door materials, finishes, glass styles, and hardware options so you can see and feel the possibilities. We’ll also introduce you to trusted door brands like ProVia, known for their exceptional craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and customizability, so you can compare styles and find the perfect match for your home.
2. Custom Design and Ordering
After you’ve selected the features you love—whether it’s a woodgrain fiberglass finish, decorative glass, or a bold color—we’ll place a custom order built just for your home. We don’t install pre-made doors pulled off a shelf. Every door we install, especially those from premium brands like ProVia, is tailored to your exact specifications to ensure it fits flawlessly and performs beautifully for years to come.
3. Professional Installation
About 4–6 weeks after your order is placed, your new door will arrive ready for installation. Our skilled team handles everything with care—from removing your old door to expertly installing the new one with perfect alignment and a secure, weather-tight seal. We treat your home with respect and make sure everything is completed to the highest standards.
4. Final Inspection and Peace of Mind
Before wrapping up, we walk you through the finished work to make sure you’re completely satisfied. We check functionality, finish, and fit, and answer any final questions you may have. We don’t consider the job done until you’re 100% happy with how your new entry door looks and performs.
