You stop worrying about security. That flimsy builder-grade door gets replaced with something that actually protects your family and belongings. No more wondering if someone could kick it in.
Your home looks like it belongs in the neighborhood’s better streets. The kind of entrance that makes people slow down when they drive by. Property values in Elmwood Park reflect attention to details like this.
Energy bills drop because your new door actually seals properly. No more drafts in winter or cool air escaping in summer. Quality door fitting service makes that difference.
We’ve been upgrading entrances throughout Bergen County for years. We understand Elmwood Park’s housing stock—those solid 1950s colonials and ranches that need doors worthy of their craftsmanship.
Most of our clients are homeowners who tried the big-box store route first and learned the hard way that installation matters more than price. We’re not trying to be the cheapest. We’re focused on doing it right the first time.
Every project gets personal attention from our design team and dedicated project manager. You’ll know exactly what’s happening and when. No surprises, no delays, no “that’s not our problem” responses.
We start with an honest assessment at your Elmwood Park home. Measurements, structural evaluation, and a real conversation about what you need. Security concerns, style preferences, budget realities—everything gets discussed upfront.
Our design team then works with you to select or create the right door. Custom options, standard designs, materials, finishes, hardware. We handle the technical details while keeping you informed about choices that matter.
Installation day means complete removal of your old door, proper preparation of the opening, and precise installation of your new entrance. We clean up completely and walk you through operation and maintenance before considering the job finished.

Complete removal and disposal of your existing door. Proper preparation of the opening, including any adjustments needed for perfect fit. Professional installation with appropriate weatherstripping, hardware, and finishing work.
Elmwood Park homes from the 1950s and 1960s often present unique challenges. Settling, previous modifications, non-standard openings. We’ve seen it all and know how to handle these situations properly without cutting corners.
Your installation includes thorough cleanup, detailed walkthrough of your new door’s features, and our commitment to address any concerns during the first month. Plus complete documentation of warranties and maintenance requirements.
Most front door installations in Elmwood Park take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes careful removal of your existing door, any necessary opening adjustments, installation of your new door, and complete finishing work.
Older homes sometimes require additional time if we discover structural issues or need to modify the opening for proper fit. We identify these possibilities during our initial consultation so you know what to expect.
Custom iron doors may need extra time for precise alignment and adjustment. We never rush this process because your door needs to operate smoothly and look exactly right when we’re finished.
Iron doors provide genuine security that fiberglass and wood simply cannot match. The construction and weight make forced entry nearly impossible, which matters more every year in residential areas.
Longevity is another major factor. Quality iron doors last 20-30 years with minimal maintenance compared to 10-15 years for other materials. No warping, rotting, or frequent repainting required in New Jersey’s climate.
The customization options with iron are virtually unlimited. While other materials restrict you to standard sizes and limited designs, iron doors can be crafted to match any architectural style or personal preference.
Yes, and this is where our design experience really shows. Elmwood Park has everything from post-war colonials to mid-century ranches, and we’ve created doors for all of them.
We start by understanding your home’s architectural details, proportions, and existing character. Then we recommend designs, finishes, and hardware that enhance rather than compete with what’s already there.
Custom design capabilities mean we can create virtually any style you need. Traditional, contemporary, transitional—whatever works best with your home’s architecture and your personal preferences.
Modern iron doors with proper installation are surprisingly energy efficient. We use thermal break technology, quality weatherstripping, and energy-efficient glass to minimize heat transfer and air infiltration.
The key difference is installation quality. Many energy problems come from poor installation rather than the door itself. We ensure precise fit with no air gaps, which is especially important in older Elmwood Park homes where openings may not be perfectly square.
You’ll notice immediate improvements in drafts, temperature consistency, and energy bills. The solid construction also provides excellent sound insulation, which many clients appreciate given our area’s traffic patterns.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage on both installation workmanship and materials because we stand behind everything we do. Installation carries full warranty against defects in our work, and materials come with manufacturer warranties.
If anything goes wrong with installation or door function, we return and correct it at no charge. This includes adjustments, hardware issues, or any problems resulting from our installation process.
Material warranties typically provide 10+ years on structural components and 5+ years on finishes. We handle all warranty documentation and any claims that arise during coverage periods.
Very little, which is one of iron’s biggest advantages over wood doors. Basic cleaning with mild soap and water a few times yearly keeps your door looking great. No staining, painting, or sealing like wood requires.
Annual lubrication of hinges and lock mechanisms is recommended, just like any door. Touch up any small scratches or finish chips promptly to prevent moisture intrusion, though this is rarely necessary with quality finishes.
The hardware we install is designed for decades of use with minimal attention. We show you exactly what to look for during installation and provide simple maintenance guidelines that take minutes per year to follow.
