Your entry door does a lot more than welcome guests. It’s one of the most important barriers between your home and the outdoors, helping protect against weather, drafts, moisture, and energy loss. While homeowners often think about windows, siding and insulation when it comes to lowering heating and cooling bills, your front door is another major area that can impact your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
The “Big Hole in the Hallway” Problem
Your entry door is one of the largest breaks in your home’s exterior barrier. Even a small gap around the frame, worn weatherstripping or an older door that no longer seals properly can create noticeable drafts. That air loss will pull warm air out in the winter and let hot air in during the summer, making your heating and cooling systems work harder and cost more than they need to.
A drafty entry door can also create cold spots, uneven temperatures, and that uncomfortable chill you feel when walking through your front hall. It may seem like a small area, but it can have a real impact on your home’s everyday comfort.
Energy Savings and Everyday Comfort
Replacing an older entry door with a high-quality, properly installed system can help improve your home’s energy efficiency. The result is a more consistent indoor temperature, fewer drafts, and lower heating and cooling costs over time.
A new entry door can also improve:
- Noise reduction: A well-built, properly sealed entry door can help minimize outside noise such as traffic, barking dogs, lawn equipment, or general neighborhood activity, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment.
- Security: New entry doors are designed with stronger construction and can include upgraded features like reinforced frames, high-quality hardware, and advanced locking systems, helping homeowners feel more secure and protected.
- Curb appeal: Your front door is one of the first things people notice. A new entry door can completely refresh the look of your home, adding style, character, and a clean finished appearance that can change the look of your home and boost curb appeal instantly.
Choosing the Right Entry Door Material
When it comes to choosing a door, the first step is deciding which material best fits your needs. At Bruin Remodeling Group, we offer two entry door material options: fiberglass and steel. Choosing between the two depends on your priorities for durability, maintenance, energy efficiency, security, and aesthetics.
We provide a wide range of entry door options to complement your home’s architecture while matching your personal style. Our team will help you choose the right configuration, whether that’s a classic single door, a single door with sidelites for added light, or a double-door design for a more dramatic entrance. From there, we’ll guide you through the finishing details, including glass styles and patterns, color or stain selections, woodgrain options, and hardware choices to create a look that feels complete and truly custom.

Why Installation Matters
Even the best door won’t perform well if it isn’t installed correctly. Proper alignment, sealing, flashing, and finishing details all play a role in keeping air and moisture out. At Bruin Remodeling Group, we focus on the full system, not just the door itself, so homeowners get the performance and longevity they’re expecting.
