At S & P Corporation, we pride ourselves on our expertise in remodeling and water damage restoration. Recently, we had the pleasure of helping homeowners on beautiful acreage bring more natural light into their home with a stunning exterior door installation. Our team tackled the challenge of replacing their old, solid double doors with new, elegant double glass doors, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.
The Challenge: Rotting Doors and Pests
The homeowners had been struggling with their original solid double doors for quite some time. The doors were so badly rotted that the homeowners put tape around the doors to keep bugs and drafts out. This was not just an aesthetic issue, but a serious functional problem that affected the comfort and energy efficiency of their home. Recognizing the need for a professional solution, they reached out to us at S & P Corporation for an exterior door installation that would not only enhance the look of their home but also improve its functionality.
The Vision: Bringing in Natural Light
One of the primary goals for this project was to add more natural light to the home's entryway. The homeowners wanted to create a bright and welcoming space that would take advantage of their picturesque surroundings. To achieve this, we recommended replacing the existing solid double doors with double glass doors. This change would not only allow more light to flood into the home but also provide a beautiful view of the outdoor scenery.
Choosing the Right Doors: Mastercraft from Menards
When the homeowners began their search for the perfect exterior doors, they were initially quoted around $8,000 for the style they desired. This was well beyond their budget. When we started collaborating with them, we recommended the Mastercraft double glass doors from Menards. Mastercraft doors are renowned for their quality and affordability, making them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to balance cost and performance. These doors provide impressive durability and aesthetic appeal, ensuring the homeowners would receive the best value for their investment.
The Installation Process: Removing the Old and Installing the New
Our team began the exterior door installation by carefully removing the old, rotted double doors. This was a meticulous process, as we needed to ensure that no further damage was done to the surrounding structure. Once the old doors were removed, we assessed the condition of the door frame and made any necessary repairs to ensure a solid foundation for the new doors.
One unique aspect of this project was the removal of the side sidelight that was part of the original door setup. The homeowners wanted the new double doors to be perfectly centered in the entryway, which required us to eliminate the sidelight. This adjustment not only improved the symmetry of the entrance but also enhanced the overall aesthetic appeal of the new doors.
With the old doors and sidelight removed, we proceeded with the installation of the new Mastercraft double glass doors. Our skilled technicians ensured that the doors were perfectly aligned and securely fastened. We also took care to properly seal the doors to prevent any drafts or leaks, addressing one of the major concerns the homeowners had with their previous doors.
The Transformation: A Bright and Welcoming Entryway
The completed exterior door installation was nothing short of transformative. The double glass doors brought an abundance of natural light into the home, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. The homeowners were thrilled with the results, noting how much the new doors improved both the look and feel of their entryway. Not only did the new doors enhance the home's aesthetic appeal, but they also provided practical benefits. The improved sealing and insulation of the new doors meant that the homeowners no longer had to worry about drafts or pests. This upgrade significantly improved the energy efficiency of the home, contributing to lower heating and cooling costs. We completed the exterior door installation by adding sheetrock, interior paint, and trim to the home's interior.
