Your exterior doors do more than open and close. They are a primary barrier against Minnesota's winters, a significant factor in your home's energy performance, and the first thing guests and buyers notice about your property. When doors age, settle, or deteriorate, the problems multiply — drafts, security gaps, higher heating bills, and declining curb appeal.
Advanced Roofing & Siding installs exterior doors as part of a complete approach to your home's envelope. We frequently pair door replacement with window replacement projects — eliminating the two biggest sources of exterior air infiltration in a single mobilization.
Whether you need a single front door replaced, a full set of patio doors, or storm doors added to improve winter performance, our team handles the complete installation — door, frame, threshold, flashing, and exterior trim — so there are no gaps, no air leaks, and no half-finished edges left behind.

How Our Exterior Door Installation Process Works
Transparent steps from first call to warranty registration — no surprises
Free Consultation, Frame Assessment & Measurement
Same dayWe measure the rough opening, check the frame for rot or structural compromise, inspect the threshold and sill pan for water infiltration, and assess weatherstripping condition. You'll know exactly what you're working with before any product is ordered.
Schedule consultation →Door Selection, Hardware & Written Proposal
24–48 hrsWe walk you through door systems — steel, fiberglass, and wood options — with energy ratings, security specs, glass options, and finish samples. You receive an itemized proposal covering door unit, hardware, weatherstripping, threshold, and installation labor before any work begins.
Precision Installation with Weatherproof Detailing
Half to full dayProper door installation requires more than setting the unit in the opening. We install a sill pan flashing, apply flashing tape to all four sides of the rough opening, shim for plumb and square, and seal the perimeter with low-expansion foam. Hardware, lockset, and deadbolt are installed and adjusted for smooth operation.
Operation Test, Seal Verification & Feature Walkthrough
Same dayEvery door is tested for square operation, positive latch engagement, and weathertight closure. We review hardware features, security tips, and maintenance with you. Manufacturer warranty documentation is provided before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Significantly, yes. Exterior doors are a major source of heat loss in Minnesota homes, particularly older units with degraded weatherstripping, inadequate insulation, or poor frame sealing. New doors with proper installation eliminate those losses at the source.
