Entry Door Installation & Front Door Replacement in Metro Detroit
Your front door is the first thing guests see and your last line of defense against a Michigan winter—let's make it count.

A drafty, sticking, or storm-battered front door quietly drags down your home's comfort, security, and curb appeal every single day. BH Door Solutions handles entry door installation and front door replacement across Metro Detroit—doors chosen right, hung plumb, and sealed tight so they hold up through every freeze-thaw. You get honest flat-rate pricing, a free estimate, and one clean visit.
When It's Time for Front Door Replacement
Michigan doors take a beating. If yours sticks in the summer humidity and won't latch, lets in a draft you can feel, shows rot or rust along the bottom rail, or rattles loose in its frame, replacement usually beats another patch. A door that no longer seals is running up your heating bill and leaving your home easier to force open.
We also tackle the urgent stuff promptly during business hours—doors damaged in a break-in attempt, warped by a storm, or that suddenly won't lock or close—so your home is buttoned up again the same day when the schedule allows.
- Drafts you can feel, or a door that whistles in the wind
- Sticking, dragging, or a latch that no longer lines up
- Rot, rust, or water damage along the frame or bottom rail
- Cracked, foggy, or single-pane glass in the door or sidelights
- A dated door dragging down your curb appeal and home value
Choosing Your Entry Door: Fiberglass, Steel & Wood
The right material comes down to your budget, how exposed the entry is, and the look you want. We install all three main types and walk you through them honestly—no upselling you into more door than your entryway needs.
- Fiberglass entry door: our most popular pick—it won't rot, warp, dent, or rust, mimics real wood grain, and its insulated core stands up beautifully to Michigan freeze-thaw.
- Steel entry door: the toughest, most budget-friendly choice for security, with a foam-insulated core that blocks the cold—ideal for high-traffic and light commercial entrances.
- Solid wood door: timeless, substantial, and fully customizable for character homes—best under a covered porch where it's shielded from direct weather.
Double Doors, Sidelights & Transoms
Bigger openings make a statement—and they demand precise installation to stay square, sealed, and smooth-swinging for years. We handle grand entrances from measurement to final adjustment.
- Double / double-entry doors: matched pairs with an active and stationary leaf, hung dead-level so both panels meet and seal.
- Sidelights: slim glass panels flanking the door that pull daylight into your foyer without giving up insulation.
- Transoms: the window above the door that adds height and light—flashed and sealed to keep Michigan rain and snow out.
Installation Built for Michigan Weather
A great door is only as good as its install, and a proper entry door installation starts long before the new door goes in. The problems we most often fix are doors that were never shimmed plumb, frames left un-insulated, and skipped flashing—all of which invite drafts, leaks, and a door that binds the moment the seasons turn.
We remove the old unit, inspect and repair the rough opening, set the new door plumb and square, insulate and flash it properly, then finish with weatherstripping and a threshold that actually seals. Our trucks arrive fully stocked, so most residential and light commercial installs are done in a single visit.

Entry & Front Doors — FAQs
How long does entry door installation take?
Most standard entry door installations are finished in a single day, often just a few hours. A straightforward pre-hung swap moves quickly, while custom sizes, double doors, or added sidelights and transoms take longer. Because our trucks arrive fully stocked with doors, hardware, and sealants, we complete the large majority of jobs in one visit.
Fiberglass or steel—which is better for a Michigan entry door?
Fiberglass is the best all-around choice for most Metro Detroit homes: it resists rot, warping, and rust, insulates well, and shrugs off freeze-thaw without denting. A steel entry door costs less and offers excellent security, making it great for budget-focused or light commercial entrances, though it can dent. We'll help you decide during your free estimate.
How much does a new front door cost?
Your exact price depends on the door material, size, glass, hardware, and any framing repairs your opening needs. As a typical range, an installed entry door often runs from a few hundred dollars for a basic steel unit to several thousand for premium fiberglass or custom wood with sidelights. Get a free estimate for a firm, flat-rate number.
Do you replace just the door or the whole frame?
Both—we do slab-only replacements when your existing frame is solid, and full pre-hung installs when the frame is rotted, out of square, or damaged. During your free estimate we inspect the rough opening and jambs, then recommend the option that will seal properly and last. If we find hidden rot, we repair it before setting your new door.
