Benefits of Steel Doors
Accentuate the style of your home with a fiberglass entry system. The exceptional, deep wood grain texture replicates the appearance of natural wood, but fiberglass doors will not dent, split, crack, or warp. Hometown Restyling offers many traditional door styles and a broad selection of craftsman-style doors.
Our fiberglass entry doors come in a variety of door and sidelight styles and are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This system is available in 16 standard paint colors and nine wood grain stains to complement your decor. We can also custom match any finish.
Additionally, we offer a huge selection of decorative insulated door lights, sidelights, and transoms. We offer caming in black patina, bright zinc, white caming, bright brass, and laminated decorative, as well as internal mini-blinds, mini-blinds with grids, internal grids, and protector glass.

Hometown Restyling is proud to offer a limited lifetime glass and frame warranty—one of the best in the business today.
Benefits of Fiberglass Doors
Transform your space and your view of the outdoors with replacement patio doors. Our premium sliding doors are weather-resistant and energy efficient, and they come with a secure, easy operation. They’re also backed by our lifetime non-prorated transferable warranty. For every installation, we provide our exclusive Quad4+Plus™ weather stripping, which helps eliminate air leaks to reduce costly heating and cooling bills.
One of our top sliding doors is The Essentials by Sunrise. This door has an EverCore™ composite frame, which maintains the strength of wood and resists moisture. It’s the last sliding patio door you’ll ever need to purchase, guaranteed for as long as you live in your home.
Benefits of Sliding Patio Doors
Enhance the style and elegance of your home with classic French patio doors. Hometown Restyling offers a variety of styles and architectural design schemes to complement your home. Our doors are built to withstand the elements, with heavy-duty adjustable hinges, compression weather-stripping, and airtight bottom sweep. Made from heavy 24-gauge steel, French doors resist warping, cracking, and corrosion. The lockset is also reinforced with lock support for added security and peace of mind.
Our French doors are pre-finished in a variety of standard and custom colors. You can also add a sliding screen with adjustable rollers and a strong extruded frame to keep out bugs. Patio door systems are available as a two-panel door in 5’ or 6’ widths or as a three-panel door with a 9’ width.
Benefits of French Doors
Can’t pay for your entire project up front? Hometown Restyling offers flexible financing options, including no-interest financing, to make your home remodeling project more affordable.
The clearest signs are a door that’s hard to open, close, or lock, visible damage or warping to the frame, drafts or rising energy bills, and a door that’s simply old and worn. It may be cracking, peeling, or warping after 10 to 30 years of use, depending on the material. If you have a sliding patio door, a broken or sticking track is another common signal.
Sometimes the issue isn’t the door at all. Normal home settling can shift door jambs and frames over time, which is worth having a professional take a look at before you assume you need a full replacement.

Steel doors are the most budget-friendly and offer excellent security and insulation. They’re many times better insulated than a solid wood door and won’t warp, though they can dent. Fiberglass doors cost more but resist dents, rust, and warping even better, and can be finished to mimic real wood grain. Wood doors offer timeless, classic style but need the most ongoing maintenance and are more vulnerable to Iowa’s humidity and freeze-thaw swings.
For most Eastern Iowa homeowners, especially on south- or west-facing entries that take the brunt of the sun, we lean toward fiberglass for the best long-term balance of durability and low maintenance.

Sliding patio doors glide horizontally on a track and don’t require extra clearance to open, making them great for tighter spaces and easy, everyday operation. French doors swing open on hinges and create a wider, fully open entryway with a more traditional, elegant look, but they need clearance to swing and can feel heavier to operate.
Sliding doors almost always come with a built-in sliding screen, while French doors don’t. So if bug-free ventilation matters to you, that’s worth factoring into your decision (a pull-down retractable screen is a popular fix for French doors).
Also, sliding glass doors are more energy efficient and often recommended when the door leads directly outdoors. These doors have a better seal when closed compared to French patio doors. However, if the doorway leads into a sunroom, where you have less concern about energy efficient seals, French doors are a popular and aesthetically pleasing option.

Patio doors typically run $2,000 to $10,000 or more installed, depending on type, size, materials, and glass options. Entry-level sliding doors fall around $2,000–$4,000, mid-range options with better energy performance and stronger frames run $4,000–$7,000, and premium doors with composite frames, advanced weather sealing, and heavy-duty hardware run $7,000–$10,000+. French and larger multi-panel doors tend to land toward the higher end of these ranges.
If two quotes for similar-looking doors have a big price gap, it’s worth asking why. It usually comes down to frame material, weatherstripping quality, and hardware.

Not always. Today’s high-quality exterior doors offer strong insulation and durability on their own. But in Eastern Iowa, where winters and storms can be intense, a storm door adds an extra layer of protection against wind, rain, and snow, while also improving energy efficiency and offering ventilation through a built-in screen during warmer months.
Many homeowners choose a full-view storm door specifically to show off a beautiful new entry door while still keeping bugs and debris out.

Absolutely. While a new entry door does boost resale value, the bigger benefit for most homeowners is simply enjoying a home that looks and feels like theirs every single day. A new front door means better insulation, a tighter seal, smoother operation, and a style that finally matches the rest of the house.
Instead of asking “what will I get back when I sell,” we like to ask homeowners, “will you enjoy your home more every day with this change?” If the answer is yes, the investment makes sense regardless of your plans to sell.
However, realtors will often note that the front entrance door is the first thing that potential homeowners notice when driving by looking at homes.

A steel entry door replacement is consistently ranked among the very highest-ROI home improvement projects nationally, according to the annual Cost vs. Value Report, it’s one of the most affordable exterior upgrades you can make, and one of the most impactful both visually and financially.
Beyond resale, a new front door is often the single highest-impact, lowest-cost curb appeal upgrade available, which is why we usually recommend starting there if your budget is limited.

If your existing door frame is solid, square, and free of rot or water damage, a retrofit (or “replacement”) entry system can sometimes slip directly into it, which may be a faster, less invasive option that still provides a strong, secure entry. If there’s frame damage, water intrusion, or you want to change the door’s size, a full-frame replacement gives us access to fix those underlying issues properly rather than building a new door on top of an old problem.
Either way, custom trim can be recreated to match your home’s existing look if the original trim can’t be reused. And often its better to replace the frame along with the door anyway, as there are many things that can go wrong when you try to fit a new door into a different existing frame.

Most exterior door replacements are completed in a single day, sometimes just half a day, though jobs with sidelights or transom windows may need extra time. Our crews lay down drop cloths, use plastic barriers to contain dust, and clean as they go, so your home stays comfortable and tidy throughout.
Winter installation is not a problem, either. We work efficiently to minimize cold-air exposure and use sealants rated for low temperatures, so you don’t have to wait for warmer weather to fix a drafty door.

Yes. Beyond the standard 5-foot and 6-foot widths, French doors are often available in 9-foot, three-panel configurations, and multi-panel or folding systems can open up even more of your wall for a dramatic indoor-outdoor connection.
Going bigger than your current opening is possible, but it may require structural modifications like header adjustments, so it’s best discussed during an in-home consultation rather than assumed from a catalog size.
