When your front door is properly installed, you stop worrying about drafts driving up your energy bills. You stop second-guessing whether your family is safe when you’re not home. And you start getting compliments from neighbors about how great your house looks.
The right door, installed correctly, changes how your home feels from both sides. Inside, you get better temperature control, less noise from the street, and that solid, secure feeling when you turn the lock. Outside, your home projects the image you want—whether that’s classic elegance, modern sophistication, or timeless charm.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing the job was done right the first time, with materials that will perform for decades, not just a few seasons.
We’ve been serving homeowners throughout Middlesex and Bergen Counties, including Maxim, with the kind of door installation that actually lasts. We’re not the company that shows up, slaps in a door, and disappears when problems arise six months later.
Our approach is different because we handle everything in-house—design, fabrication, and installation. When you work with us, you get a dedicated project manager who stays with your job from start to finish, plus installation crews who understand the specific challenges of working in New Jersey’s climate.
We’ve built our reputation in communities like Maxim by focusing on what homeowners actually need: doors that perform, installations that last, and service that’s there when you need it.
First, we come to your home in Maxim to take precise measurements and discuss what you’re looking for. This isn’t a high-pressure sales visit—it’s a consultation where we figure out what door will work best for your home’s architecture, your security needs, and your budget.
Once you’ve chosen your door, our design team creates detailed plans and our fabrication team builds it to your exact specifications. We use high-grade materials and time-tested construction methods that hold up to New Jersey weather—hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between.
Installation day is when everything comes together. Our crew arrives with all the right tools and takes care of removing your old door, preparing the frame, and installing your new door with the precision that prevents future problems. We clean up completely and walk you through how everything works before we leave.

Your front door installation includes everything needed for a complete, professional job. We handle the removal of your existing door, any necessary frame adjustments, proper sealing and weatherstripping, and installation of all hardware including locks and handles.
In Maxim, where homes range from traditional colonials to modern designs, we offer materials that work with any architectural style. Steel doors provide maximum security and energy efficiency—ideal for families who prioritize safety. Iron doors offer that distinctive, elegant look that makes a statement. Wood doors bring classic warmth, while fiberglass gives you the appearance of wood with better weather resistance.
Every installation includes our thorough preparation process, where we address any issues with the door frame before installation begins. This prevents the settling, drafts, and alignment problems that plague rushed installations. We also include proper insulation and sealing to ensure your new door performs as efficiently as possible in New Jersey’s varied climate.
Most front door installations in Maxim take between 2-4 hours, depending on whether any frame modifications are needed. If your existing frame is in good condition and the new door fits properly, we can often complete the job in closer to 2 hours.
However, if we discover issues with the frame—warping, rot, or improper sizing—we’ll need additional time to make corrections. We always inspect the frame thoroughly before starting and let you know if any extra work is required. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through and leave you with problems later.
Front door replacement in Maxim typically ranges from $500 to $2,000, depending on the material, style, and any custom features you choose. Basic steel or fiberglass doors fall on the lower end, while custom iron doors with decorative elements are at the higher end.
The final cost also depends on your existing frame condition and any modifications needed. We provide upfront pricing during our consultation so there are no surprises. We believe you should know exactly what you’re investing before we start any work, and our quotes include all labor, materials, and cleanup.
Yes, custom doors are actually one of our specialties. Many homeowners in Maxim want something that perfectly matches their home’s architecture or reflects their personal style, and standard options don’t always fit the bill.
Our in-house design team works with you to create doors that match your vision exactly—from the overall style and proportions to specific details like glass patterns, hardware finishes, and decorative elements. We can work in various materials including iron, steel, wood, and fiberglass. The process typically adds 2-3 weeks to the timeline, but the result is a door that’s truly unique to your home.
In New Jersey’s climate, steel and fiberglass doors perform exceptionally well because they handle temperature swings without warping or expanding. Steel doors offer the best security and energy efficiency, especially with proper insulation and thermal breaks to prevent heat transfer.
Fiberglass doors are excellent if you want the look of wood without the maintenance requirements. They resist moisture, don’t rot, and maintain their appearance through harsh winters and humid summers. Wood doors can work beautifully but require more maintenance—regular sealing and occasional refinishing. Iron doors, when properly treated and sealed, offer unmatched durability and that distinctive, elegant appearance that many Maxim homeowners prefer.
Signs that your door frame may need attention include visible gaps around the door when closed, difficulty opening or closing the door, drafts you can feel, or visible warping, rot, or damage to the frame itself. Sometimes the door appears to fit fine, but there are underlying issues that become apparent during installation.
During our consultation, we thoroughly inspect your existing frame and let you know if any repairs or modifications are needed. Minor adjustments are common and usually don’t add significant cost or time. However, if there’s extensive damage or the frame is severely out of square, replacement might be necessary for proper door function and security.
Yes, front door replacement typically provides one of the better returns on investment for home improvements. A quality front door installation can recoup 60-70% of its cost in increased home value, and often much more if you’re replacing a door that was clearly outdated or damaged.
Beyond the direct financial return, a new front door significantly improves curb appeal, which affects how quickly your home sells and the initial impressions of potential buyers. In Maxim’s competitive real estate market, homes with attractive, secure front doors simply show better and often sell faster than those with worn or outdated entries.
