Not sure if you're ready to replace your doors?
If you're replacing entry doors, the most common options are steel, fiberglass, and wood. For patio doors, sliding doors and french doors are also popular. If the door frame has rotted or shifted but the door itself is still in good condition, you may be able to replace the door frame and keep the existing door.

High-altitude UV degrades door finishes and glass seals faster than at lower elevations. Fiberglass holds up better than painted wood, and a well-sealed frame matters more given the wide seasonal temperature swings here.

Installed cost in Colorado Springs runs within about a percentage point of the national average for this trade. Here's how we got to that number.
Project costs include three main components: labor, materials, and overhead. Material ships at national prices no matter where you live, and overhead is fairly consistent as well. So the main pricing difference between metro areas is labor costs. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect.
To get Colorado Springs labor costs, we compared the average hourly wage in the Colorado Springs, CO area to the national average hourly wage for this trade. (source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025)
We found that the local trade wages sit about 7% below the national figure. Labor costs typically make up about 20% of a door replacement project cost, so the weighted difference between Colorado Springs and national averages is under 1%. See methodology and sources.
It depends on the scope of your project, so you should talk to the permitting authority to find out what your project needs. In general, Colorado Springs permitting is simple compared to other metros we cover.
Permitting for structural and plumbing work in this area goes through El Paso County and City of Colorado Springs.
You should ask each contractor if they pull the permits for you and if the fee for pulling permits is included in their quote. Also, tell them you need to see the written, approved permit before work starts.
There is no Colorado state license for door replacement. This work is governed locally. (source, verified as of 2026-08-12) What that means and how to verify a contractor in Colorado →
Here are the door replacement companies CO homeowners in and around Colorado Springs turn to, ranked by real customer rating and review volume, no filler. 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.
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.
