Door Installation FAQ

Why Replace Your Front or Sliding Glass Door?

Replacing your front or sliding glass door can enhance both the look and functionality of your home. Your front door is one of the first things visitors notice—it sets the tone for your home’s appearance. A worn-out, faded, or damaged door can detract from your home’s curb appeal. Similarly, a patio door with foggy glass or outdated design impacts your outdoor aesthetic.

Functionality matters too! Doors with worn seals or drafts not only make your home less comfortable but also lead to higher energy bills. Upgrading to a new energy-efficient door can improve your comfort and save on energy costs. Other issues, such as sticking mechanisms or damaged glass, also signal it’s time for a replacement.

What Types of Doors Do We Install?

At Pro-Home Services, we install a variety of entry and patio doors tailored to your style, budget, and functional needs. Here are some options:

  • Vinyl Patio Doors: Our Alside vinyl doors feature premium construction, Climatech glass, and dual weatherstripping for exceptional energy efficiency.
  • Andersen Frenchwood® Sliding Doors: These combine the warmth of wood with durable Perma-Shield® exteriors that resist peeling, blistering, and corrosion.
  • ProVia Entry Doors: Choose from wood, metal, or fiberglass doors with customizable glass options, sidelights, and transoms to make a bold statement.

We’ll ensure snug installation that meets your needs and enhances your home’s appearance.

Preparing for Installation

Before installation day, clear the area around the door, both inside and out. Remove furniture, decorations, and other items, and ensure pets are secure. Let us know about any special considerations we should keep in mind.

Maintenance Tips

After installation, follow the manufacturer’s care instructions to extend your door’s lifespan. Clean glass regularly and lubricate sliding tracks with silicone-based lubricant as needed. Check weatherstripping and rollers for wear and replace them when necessary.

After a violent hailstorm on 3/10/26 nearly destroyed the roof, Peter was very helpful in explaining the process of replacing it. After I contacted the Insurance company to file a claim, he took over most of the contact with them before, during and after replacement. He met the Insurance adjuster and they surveyed the damage together up on the roof. He uses the highest quality Type 4 shingles and other top grade materials. He had a crew of 14 show up early on Monday 8/3, and completed installation in one day. The gutter & downspout crew then came 4 days later to finish up. He gave a fair and itemized bid and handled all the required paperwork with the Village and Insurance people. The roof and gutters look great. He's is a long time, experienced local contractor in the suburban area. Unlike most of the 25+ storm-chasers that showed up unannounced on my doorstep never to be seen again until the next big storm, I sought him out after doing research and talking to neighbors who'd used him already. I fully recommend Pro Home Services and Peter Kiwior for all the reasons above.

Had a small leak in roof. Called Pro Home to inspect roof. They came at scheduled time, found and repaired the leak for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Pro Home to anyone needing roof repairs.

ProHome was great from the quoting phase all the way through the installation of our roof, gutters, and aluminum window trim replacement projects. They were extremely responsive having to deal with a couple of challenging issues on our end with unique issues. Simply put, if you want a company that is will treat you like family and is extremely conscientious at a good price, call ProHome!

We had a roof replaced, gutters replaced, and a few window and door wraps installed by ProHome Services. The workmanship and materials were top notch. Scheduling and communication with the crews and customer could be improved. Unfortunately, the gutter replacement did not happen the day after the roof replacement, as promised. It rained two days later and we had some water seepage in our basement. We complained and Peter did send a gutter crew the next day. We’ve had some heavy rains since the new gutters were installed and we have stayed dry!

We recently had our roof replaced by Pro Home Services after sustaining hail damage to our old roof. The team did a fantastic job, finished the work on schedule, and left the property clean. They were very professional, transparent, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We worked with Pro Home Services to replace our roof, siding, doors and windows. Peter and his team were ultimate professionals and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. The quality of their work is top notch and our home looks better than brand new!
