A new steel entry door returns an average of 216% of its cost at resale, the highest of any project tracked (Zonda 2025 Cost vs. Value data), because the job is cheap relative to what it changes. If yours is warped, drafty or no longer locks properly, it is one of the fastest fixes on this list. ©2025 Zonda Media, a Delaware corporation.

These companies are ordered by their real customer rating weighted by review volume, taken from public review platforms.
It is not an editorial score and not a ranking of build quality. Where a company runs several branches, its rating combines every location with enough reviews to count; where it runs one, the figure describes that listing. See our Editorial Standards.
Renewal by Andersen is consistently reviewed as a premium replacement door provider, offering Ensemble® Entry Doors and Andersen® Patio Doors. The door-specific reviews echo the window ones almost exactly: homeowners often highlight the installation experience, noting that crews arrived on time, were professional and courteous, and paid close attention to fit and finish. Many reviewers point to the customized fit, quality of the finished product, and the warranty service experience, for those who used it, as reasons they feel the investment is worthwhile.
Home Genius Exteriors fits ProVia entry and patio doors (Endure, ecoLite, Aspect and Aeris) and the door reviews describe the same named-project-manager experience the company is known for elsewhere, with a straightforward process and thorough cleanup. One practical flag on pricing: their promotional discounts are tiered by trade, and doors sit outside the materials discount entirely. So ask what your door quote actually qualifies for rather than assuming the headline offer applies.
Window Nation fits its entry and patio doors with the same Installation Masters™-certified crews as its windows, and most door-specific reviews describe exactly that: a quick, clean install day with little disruption. A handful of complaints are specifically about doors: missing screw-cover plugs, a patio lock that was stiff to operate, a screen door that came loose within weeks. None of them is about the door itself. Have the exact measurements and the hardware operation checked at the final walkthrough while the crew is still there, and confirm what the limited lifetime warranty covers on the moving parts.
Clear Choice Home Improvement fits entry, exterior and patio doors as one of six trades, and the door reviews echo what homeowners say about the rest of its work: responsive communication and crews that turn up on time and treat the house with care. It works across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, southern Maine, Vermont and central Pennsylvania. One thing worth knowing before you inquire: Clear Choice does replacement and installation rather than repairs, so a single sticking door is not the job they are set up for.
Statewide fits sliding and French patio doors with insulated glass and low-E coatings. Homeowners describe having a leaking patio door and the rotted wood around it replaced in the same visit, with the crew hauling the old materials away and leaving the site clean. Reviews across its Texas markets describe the same unhurried, professional service its other trades are known for.
Power Home Remodeling builds its entry and sliding patio doors with ProVia, and the door-specific reviews are genuinely good. Homeowners report drafts gone and heating bills down after replacement, with most installs wrapped up in a few hours. Installation is carried out by independent contractors partnered with Power. Its Homeowner Bill of Rights applies to doors as it does to everything else, including the blind-pricing commitment that your price will not vary by your age, income or the value of your home.
Hansons fits entry and patio doors under the same tiered Smart Choice warranty as its other trades. The Lifetime Guarantee applies to the Premium and Smart Choice solutions, so ask which tier your door quote is written against. Reviews describing patio door installs are largely positive on crew conduct and on a same-day quality check before the crew leaves. A smaller number flag doors arriving shorter than the size ordered without advance warning, so have your exact dimensions documented in writing ahead of installation day.
Companies are shown in order of real customer rating and review volume. See full rankings →
Door replacement, door installation, exterior door replacement and entry door replacement all get searched for the same project, but the scope behind them varies more than most homeowners expect, and the difference is thousands of dollars.
This is the doors equivalent of insert-versus-full-frame in windows: same decision, same cost multiple, and the same incentive for a company that specializes in one to recommend it.
