A high‑quality entry door does more than look good—it improves security, reduces drafts, and makes your home feel finished from the first step onto the porch. Omega Universal provides entry door installation and door replacement in Barrie and nearby communities, with careful measuring, clean finishing, and reliable operation you can feel every day.
Why upgrade your entry door
Homeowners replace entry doors when the old unit becomes drafty, hard to lock, or visibly worn. A new door can improve comfort in winter, reduce noise, and boost curb appeal—especially when the frame is installed square, sealed properly, and finished cleanly.
Entry door installation vs. door replacement
New installation is ideal when you’re changing the size or style of your entrance (for example, adding sidelights or updating the layout). Door replacement focuses on removing the existing unit, correcting any alignment issues at the opening, and installing the new door so it seals tightly and closes smoothly.
Entry door styles
Choose the style that matches your home and how you use your entrance:
- Single entry doors (classic and efficient for most homes).
- Doors with glass inserts (bring in daylight while keeping privacy with the right glass).
- Sidelights and transoms (expand the entry and create a brighter foyer).
- Custom entry doors (for non‑standard openings and unique designs).
Performance matters: security, comfort, durability
A good entry door is only as strong as its installation. We focus on proper fit, hinge alignment, and sealing so the door locks confidently, resists warping, and helps reduce air leaks. If you’re upgrading for comfort, we’ll help you choose options that make sense for your home and exposure (wind, snow, direct sun).
Our installation process
- Measure and assess the opening.
- Confirm style and configuration (glass, sidelights, hardware).
- Remove the old unit (for replacements) and prep the opening.
- Install, level, seal, and finish.
- Final check: smooth close, secure lock, clean trim.
Pricing: what affects entry door cost
Entry door pricing depends on size, configuration (single vs sidelights), glass options, hardware, and installation complexity. The fastest way to get an accurate quote is a quick measurement and a short conversation about what you want to improve—security, comfort, appearance, or all three.
