Upgrade your entry with a front door replacement and transform your home’s first impression. Modern Day Window and Door offers a wide range of premium exterior doors for sale in Indianapolis, backed by customization options that fit every architectural style. From curb appeal and security to energy efficiency, our approach delivers lasting value while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
Why front door replacement matters
Your front door is more than an entry point; it is a focal design element that communicates style, durability, and the character of your home. A thoughtful replacement can elevate curb appeal, deter intruders with robust hardware, and reduce energy loss through better insulation and weather sealing. For homeowners in Indianapolis, replacing an aging door often yields immediate comfort gains—warmer winters, cooler summers, and quieter indoor environments.
Budget and performance considerations guide every choice. Material selection, hardware quality, and configuration directly influence long-term value. While price varies with material and features, modern exterior doors today offer compelling options that balance aesthetics with resilience. A well-chosen door not only enhances the entryway but also contributes to home resale value and ongoing energy savings.
Types of Exterior Doors We Offer
Material options: fiberglass, steel, and wood
Fiberglass doors deliver excellent durability with low maintenance and strong insulation. Steel doors emphasize security and cost-effectiveness, while wood doors provide timeless warmth and customizability. Each material has distinct advantages: fiberglass resists dents and weather, steel offers solid protection with improved energy performance, and wood provides rich textures and classic character. Our team helps you weigh maintenance needs, climate considerations, and architectural harmony to choose the best fit for your Indianapolis home.
Style families that fit Modern Day’s range
From traditional to contemporary, our design families align with Modern Day’s portfolio and pair seamlessly with trusted hardware and glass options. We also coordinate with compatible exterior design lines to ensure a cohesive look across entry doors and adjoining sidelights or transoms. Whether you’re aiming for a stately presence or a sleek, modern entrance, the door family you select should echo your home’s lines, materials, and color palette for a balanced façade.
Sizing and configurations for front door replacement
Single or double doors, sidelights, and transoms—each configuration requires precise sizing for optimal energy performance and aesthetics. We guide measurements for slab width, jamb depth, swing direction, and hardware clearance to prevent gaps, shifting, or installation delays. By planning ahead for hardware routing, weather sealing, and threshold placement, you achieve a tight, weather-tight fit that stands up to Indiana weather and daily use.
The four-step door replacement process
Step 1 – In-home evaluation
An in-home evaluation encompasses precise measurements, framing checks, and a discovery of style goals and budget. Our experts assess existing conditions, recommend appropriate configurations, and establish a realistic timeline that minimizes disruption to your daily routine.
Step 2 – Design, materials, and options
In the design phase, you select materials, finishes, hardware, glazing, and energy features. We present a range of options that balance curb appeal with performance, helping you visualize how different combinations affect light, privacy, and thermal efficiency while maintaining a cohesive exterior.
Step 3 – Installation
On installation day, our installers ensure precise alignment, secure mounting, and rigorous weather sealing. We perform a thorough inspection, address any site-specific nuances, and provide a final walkthrough to verify operation, fit, and finish.
Step 4 – Post-install warranty and care
Following installation, you receive warranty details, care guidelines, and maintenance recommendations. We offer service plans that support long-term performance, including checks on seals, hardware, and insulation to extend the door’s life and keep its efficiency at peak levels.
Customization options for front door replacement
Finishes, textures, and hardware ensembles
Color, wood-grain, and texture choices let you tailor the door’s look to the home’s style. Hardware—from handles and hinges to decorative accents—offers both security and personality, enabling a distinctive entrance that remains durable under daily use.
Glass options and sidelights
Glass type and privacy levels influence daylight, warmth, and visibility. Sidelights add character and balance to the façade while maintaining energy performance when paired with insulated cores and high-performance glazing.
Energy efficiency upgrades and weather sealing
Upgraded insulation, weatherstripping, and thresholds reduce drafts and enhance comfort year-round. We prioritize airtight seals, ventilated yet moisture-resistant designs, and sustainable materials to maximize thermal performance without compromising aesthetics.
Measuring, installation, and aftercare
Measuring tips and avoiding common sizing errors
Accurate measurements for slab width, jamb depth, swing direction, and clearance for hardware prevent delays and ensure a precise fit. We provide measurement checklists and onsite verification to catch issues before fabrication begins.
Installation timeline and scheduling
Understanding lead times, permitting needs, and coordinating with your schedule minimizes disruption. We communicate milestones clearly and adapt to weather or access constraints to keep the project on track.
Maintenance, warranties, and service plans
Regular care—such as cleaning, seasonal inspections, and prompt addressing of minor weathering—extends door life. Our warranties cover components, performance, and installation, with service plans tailored to your home’s needs and climate demands.
