The lines we install
Every reason people call us about doors
Tap any one — here’s what actually changes when the door’s done right.
A foam-core door seals where an old one leaks. ProVia’s Signet entry door runs a U-factor as low as 0.16; the Endure patio slider hits U-0.17 on Neopor graphite foam; and the Soft-Lite Kingsroyal patio door is built on the same R-5 ComfortFoam family as our primary windows.
Signet is the most customizable door we carry — the most realistic woodgrain, in cherry, mahogany, oak, fir, and knotty alder, with glass, sidelites, and transoms to match your house instead of a catalog page.
An old slider drags because the rollers are shot and the track is bent. A new Soft-Lite Kingsroyal sets level on fresh rollers with a steel-reinforced frame — smooth slide, solid lock, every single day.
Fog between the panes means the seal failed. Warm-edge glazing — ComforTech on ProVia, the metal-free Super Spacer on Soft-Lite — keeps the glass edge warmer, so seals last longer and winter condensation drops.
ProVia’s Spectrum storm door carries an InVent retractable screen top and bottom: slide the glass and the screen is already there; slide it away when you don’t want it. Open the house up on a nice day without the bugs.
ProVia’s Legacy is 20-gauge steel, about 49% more steel than a typical door. And because our entry and storm doors are both ProVia, the storm door can be keyed to open with the same key as your front door.
A solid, well-sealed door plus multi-pane patio glass shut out the street. Pella’s Lifestyle glass package cuts outside noise up to 52% versus single-pane.
Every ProVia door carries a transferable Lifetime Limited manufacturer product warranty, plus 5-year Excel labor and no service-fee gate on a warranty call. It’s in the contract.
THE EXCEL PROMISE
Three things we hold to on every job — the reasons families call us back and send their neighbors.
Chris still runs the company he started, and the same installers come back job after job. You're never handing your house to a stranger.
We walk you through the options and leave a written proposal — not a high-pressure pitch. You decide on your own time.
Most of our work is repeat and referral — because every job gets the same care and craftsmanship we'd want in our own homes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Most projects run about 6–8 weeks from first call to install day.

Backed For The Long Haul
A door is only as good as what stands behind it. Here’s exactly what you get — written into your contract, not promised at the door.
Every ProVia door — entry, patio, and storm — carries a transferable Lifetime Limited product warranty, including glass breakage on the storm doors. It passes to the next owner.
On every door we install. If our workmanship is the issue, we make it right — no argument about whose fault it is.
Call us out under warranty and there’s no per-visit charge just to ask. A lot of companies bury that fee. We don’t have one.
Pella patio doors carry Pella’s limited lifetime terms with 20-year glass. Financing available — ask about options at your free consultation.
IN THEIR WORDS
Reviewed July 2026
Both are solid. Steel — ProVia's Legacy — is 20-gauge and budget-friendly, and it resists dents. Fiberglass — Signet and Ascent — takes a realistic woodgrain finish, won't rust, and won't need repainting. We'll walk you through the trade-offs at the measure.
It depends on the door and the opening, so we price it after we measure — the in-home consultation is free. What moves it: entry versus patio versus storm, the material and style (ProVia fiberglass and steel entry systems, with glass and hardware options), and whether the existing frame is sound or needs work. We bring the options to your house, measure the opening, and leave a written price. Every door carries a 5-year Excel labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's product warranty.
A slider saves space since nothing swings into the room — our go-to is the Soft-Lite Kingsroyal, with ProVia Endure as another vinyl option. A French door, like ProVia's steel Legacy French, swings open for a wider entry and a more classic look. We bring both to the consultation.
Yes. Because we install ProVia on both entry and storm doors, the storm door's lock can be keyed to match your front door — one key for both.
Entry and storm doors are all ProVia. Patio doors are multi-vendor: Soft-Lite Kingsroyal (our go-to), ProVia Endure and Legacy French, Pella Lifestyle, and Sierra Pacific.
Every ProVia door carries a transferable Lifetime Limited manufacturer product warranty; Pella patio doors carry Pella's limited lifetime terms with 20-year glass. On top of the manufacturer's product warranty, Excel warrants the labor for 5 years — and there's no service-fee gate on a warranty call. The specifics are written into your contract.
Ready When You Are
A free, no-pressure in-home consultation. We bring the product samples, measure what we need to measure, and leave you with a clear written proposal — not a sales pitch.
