Springfield door basics

How much should I budget for a front door in Springfield?

Plan on $1,800 to $5,500 to have one entry door replaced, plus the cost of a storm door if you add one. Steel with clear glass sits low in that band; decorative glass, fiberglass, sidelites and upgraded hardware sit higher. Patio doors are priced separately, generally $2,500 to $6,500.

A Springfield entry: steel door, Gemstone glass, matching storm door

This homeowner in 22153 replaced the front door and added a storm door on one contract. The entry is a ProVia Legacy door in smooth 20-gauge steel with a tall glass panel over one solid panel. The glass is ProVia’s Gemstone decorative glass with zinc caming, and the door is Snow Mist White inside and out in a FrameSaver frame wrapped outside in textured white aluminum.

The hardware is satin nickel: a Georgian lockset and thumbturn deadbolt keyed alike, plus ball-bearing hinges. A steel security plate inside the door reinforces the lock area. In front of it went a ProVia Spectrum full-view storm door in the same white, with clear glass, a satin nickel handle, two closers and two screens.

How private is decorative glass in a front door?

ProVia rates each decorative glass on a 1 to 10 privacy scale. The Gemstone glass on this Springfield door is rated 8, so light comes through but people and shapes on the other side are hard to make out. Clear glass is the open end of the scale; heavily textured glass is the private end. Compare glass patterns: ProVia entry doors.

What does a full-view storm door with two screens do?

It gives you a single large glass panel for winter and two screen panels you can put in for summer air, without changing the door itself. Here, the Spectrum unit matches the entry’s Snow Mist White and has two closers to steady a full-glass door in the wind. More on styles: ProVia storm doors.

Will a Springfield HOA need to see my door choice?

It depends on the community; a new color or a different glass pattern is the kind of change worth asking about. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names. We work closely with the committees, we have a great relationship with plenty of HOAs, and it has never been a problem for us.
