Make a Stronger First Impression
Your entry door does more than welcome guests — it’s one of the first lines of defense for your home’s security, and a major factor in how much outside noise makes its way in. EMC Remodeling replaces entry doors for homeowners across Central Texas, giving you a door that’s built to protect your home, keep it quiet, and look great doing it.

Signs You Need an Entry Door Replacement
Difficulty Locking or Securing the Door
If your door doesn’t lock smoothly, has a loose strike plate, or doesn’t sit flush in the frame, it’s not doing its job of keeping your home secure.
Door Sticking or Hard to Open
If your door has started sticking or is difficult to open and close, it’s often caused by house settling or a door that wasn’t installed correctly the first time. Either way, it’s a good sign it’s time to call in the professionals rather than forcing it.
Drafts or Noticeable Air Leaks
Feeling air movement around the edges of your door means the seal has failed — letting in outside noise along with drafts and higher energy bills.
Warping, Cracking, or Rot
Older wood doors especially can warp or crack over time, making them harder to seal properly and easier to force open. A rotten door jamb is a clear sign it’s time for a full replacement rather than a repair.
Built for Security
Your entry door is one of the most important security features of your home, and not all doors are created equal. ProVia doors, for example, feature 20-gauge steel security plates, reinforced lock areas, and a multi-point locking system specifically engineered to resist forced entry — far beyond what a standard single-deadbolt door offers. Whether you go with fiberglass, steel, or wood, we’ll help you choose a door and hardware setup that actually holds up, not just one that looks good.
Common Entry Door Situations
Upgrading from a Single Deadbolt to a Multi-Point Lock System
If your current door only has a single deadbolt, upgrading to a door with a multi-point locking system gives you significantly better protection against forced entry — locking the door at multiple points along the frame instead of just one.
Replacing a Warped or Rotting Wood Door
Older wood entry doors are prone to warping and rot over time, especially with direct sun and weather exposure. Many homeowners upgrade to fiberglass or steel for better long-term durability while still getting a wood-look finish if that’s the style they want.
Adding Glass or Decorative Panels
Whether it’s a small window insert or a fuller glass panel, adding some natural light to your entry door is a common upgrade — and today’s options come in security-rated glass, so you don’t have to sacrifice protection for style.
Replacing a Poorly Insulated Door
If your entry door doesn’t have a solid foam core, it may be letting more heat, cold, and outside noise through than you’d expect — something to check if that room always feels drafty or noisy compared to the rest of your home.
Materials & Brands We Work With
We work with trusted names like ProVia, Therma-Tru, and Masonite — below are some of their most popular lines, though each brand offers more options than what’s listed here. Talk to us about your specific project and we’ll help you find the right fit.
ProVia
ProVia is known for old-world craftsmanship and strong security. Their Signet line is premium fiberglass with the most customizable, realistic woodgrain finishes; Ascent is their newer mid-range fiberglass option; and Legacy is their 20-gauge steel line, built for maximum durability and security.
Therma-Tru
Therma-Tru offers one of the widest style ranges on the market. Classic-Craft is their flagship line, using AccuGrain technology for the most authentic wood-look finish; Fiber-Classic offers the same wood-grain look at a more affordable price; and Smooth-Star is their budget-friendly, ready-to-paint option.
Masonite
Masonite is a widely available, dependable option. Their Heritage Series offers Craftsman-style fiberglass doors resistant to warping and rot; Belleville is a more customizable fiberglass line with reinforced lock areas; and their Masonite Steel doors offer maximum security with panel styles that closely mimic high-end wood.
Our Process
Measurements & Consultation
We measure your existing door opening and talk through your options for material, style, and security features. You can choose from our standard options, or use the manufacturer’s design tools to build a fully custom door of your own.
Removal of the Old Door
First tarps are laid down to protect your flooring.
Then we carefully remove your existing door and frame, checking the surrounding area for any damage or rot that needs to be addressed before the new door goes in.
New Door Installation
Your new door is installed and properly sealed to keep drafts, noise, and moisture out, with factory or on-site painting available for a clean, finished look.
Final Walkthrough
Before we consider the job done, we test the door for smooth operation and a tight seal, and clean up the area, removing all job-related debris. We’ll walk you through the finished door, making sure everything locks, seals, and operates the way it should, and send over your final invoice along with your warranty information for your records.
FAQ
How long does it take to install a front door?
Most entry door installations are completed in a single day, though timing can vary depending on the complexity of the job.
Do we need to be home when the door is installed?
You don’t need to be home for the installation. Rest assured, we’ll never leave your house unattended while the door is open during the job.
Do you paint the doors?
Yes — you can choose a factory-painted finish, or have your door painted on-site to match your home exactly.
Can we choose our own door hardware - locks & handles?
