You walk up to a front door that commands attention and respect. Your neighbors notice. Your home value reflects the quality. But more importantly, you sleep better knowing your family is protected by superior iron construction and professional installation.
The right front door does more than look impressive. It creates a barrier that actually deters break-ins while improving your home’s energy efficiency. When installed correctly with quality materials, your new entry door becomes an investment that pays dividends in security, comfort, and property value for decades.
We’ve been serving River Vale homeowners who understand the difference between adequate and exceptional. We know the unique challenges of our local climate and the architectural styles that define this community.
We carefully select each piece of wood and glass, making sure they are perfect for the River Vale climate, mixing old-school techniques with new ideas to make doors that are strong and stylish. Your home deserves craftsmanship that matches its value, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
We start with an in-home consultation where our design team listens to your needs and assesses your current setup. You’ll see material samples, discuss style options, and get clear pricing upfront.
Once you approve the design, our craftsmen create your door using high-grade materials selected for durability and beauty. Your dedicated project manager keeps you informed throughout the process, so you always know what’s happening and when.
Installation typically takes three to four hours, including removing your old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. We clean up completely and walk you through your new door’s features before we leave.

For custom work, our in-house design team creates doors that reflect your specific vision. Given that most River Vale homes were built around 1967 with current values averaging $682,900, we understand you need doors that complement your home’s established character while meeting modern security and efficiency standards.
Every door includes professional installation, quality hardware, and materials chosen specifically for New Jersey’s climate conditions. You get the full package: design, craftsmanship, and installation from one reliable source.
Most front door installations take between three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to ensure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms. However, the timeline can vary based on your specific situation.
If we need to modify the existing opening or address structural issues, installation may take longer. Conversely, if your current frame is in excellent condition and the new door fits the existing opening perfectly, we might finish more quickly. We always provide a realistic time estimate during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Iron doors offer superior security compared to wood, fiberglass, or steel alternatives. The material itself is incredibly difficult to breach, and when properly installed, creates a formidable barrier against forced entry attempts.
Beyond security, iron doors provide excellent insulation properties when designed with proper cores and weatherstripping. They’re also incredibly durable in New Jersey’s climate, resisting warping, cracking, and weather damage that affect other materials. The aesthetic appeal is unmatched – iron doors create an impressive entrance that significantly enhances your home’s curb appeal and value.
Yes, we provide both custom-made doors and pre-designed options to meet different needs and budgets. Our pre-designed collection includes popular styles that work well with River Vale’s diverse architectural styles, from colonial to contemporary homes.
For custom work, our in-house design team works directly with you to create doors that match your specific vision and home’s unique characteristics. We create doors that reflect your style and needs, carefully selecting each piece of wood and glass to ensure they’re perfect for the River Vale climate. Whether standard or custom, every door receives the same attention to quality materials and professional installation.
During our initial consultation, we thoroughly inspect your existing frame for structural integrity, proper alignment, and weather damage. Signs that typically indicate frame replacement include visible rot, warping that prevents proper door closure, gaps that allow air infiltration, or damage from previous forced entry attempts.
Damage to an exterior door can compromise your home’s security, so it’s often better to replace it entirely, especially if there’s frame damage. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend whether frame replacement is necessary or if we can work with your existing structure. Our goal is to ensure your new door operates perfectly and provides maximum security and efficiency.
Our complete service includes in-home design consultation, door manufacturing or selection, all necessary hardware, professional installation, and cleanup. The process covers planning and discussing what you want, crafting your door to fit your style, and installation to ensure it fits just right.
We handle everything from removing your old door to installing weatherstripping, adjusting hardware, and ensuring proper operation of locks and hinges. Your dedicated project manager coordinates the entire process, keeping you informed at each step. We also provide care instructions and warranty information so you know how to maintain your investment properly.
Front door installation costs typically range from $150 for basic interior doors up to $2,000 or more for high-end exterior doors, with an average around $1,100. However, iron doors represent a premium investment that varies based on size, design complexity, hardware selection, and installation requirements.
During our consultation, we provide detailed pricing that includes all materials, labor, and services with no hidden fees. We understand that River Vale homeowners expect quality that matches their home’s value, and our pricing reflects the superior materials and craftsmanship we deliver. We also discuss financing options if that would be helpful for your situation.
