“We hired MCLC Construction to extend our roof to cover our patio. I had a vision of what I wanted, I showed Chad at MCLC some pictures of designs that I liked.

FAQ
How do I know if I need an exterior door replacement?
If your old door is drafty, difficult to close, or showing signs of wear, it may be time for an exterior door replacement. Gaps around the door frame, air leaks, or visible damage can all affect comfort, security, and energy performance.
Replacing a worn front door or entry system can improve both function and appearance. We evaluate the condition of your existing door and frame to determine whether a full door replacement is the right move.
- Drafts or cold air coming through the door
- Difficulty opening, closing, or locking
- Visible wear, warping, or frame issues
What types of exterior doors do you install?
We install a range of exterior doors, including front entry doors, patio doors, and other access points around the home. Options include fiberglass doors, steel door systems, and select solid wood door styles depending on your preferences.
Each new door is selected based on durability, maintenance, and how it fits your home’s overall look. We help you find the right exterior door without overcomplicating the process.
- Entry doors designed for security and curb appeal
- Sliding and hinged patio doors for access and light
- Material options including fiberglass, steel, and solid wood
Can you install a new door in my existing door frame?
In some cases, yes. If the existing door frame is in good condition, we may be able to install a slab door within that opening. If the frame is damaged, out of square, or no longer sealing properly, a full prehung door is usually the better option.
We assess the condition of the frame before recommending the right approach so your door installation performs properly long term.
- Slab door option when the frame is solid
- Prehung door for full replacement and better sealing
- Recommendations based on structure and condition
What are the benefits of upgrading my front door or entry doors?
Upgrading your front door or entry doors improves security, energy efficiency, and overall curb appeal. A properly installed door helps keep out cold air, reduces drafts, and creates a more comfortable interior environment.
It also makes a strong first impression. The right front entry doors can completely change how your home looks from the outside while improving how it functions day to day.
- Improved insulation and reduced drafts
- Stronger security and hardware performance
- Enhanced curb appeal and overall appearance
Do you install storm doors, screen doors, or garage doors?
We can install storm doors and screen doors as part of an exterior door project, depending on your needs. These additions can improve ventilation, add another layer of protection, and extend the life of your primary door.
We focus primarily on exterior door replacement, but we’re happy to talk through related upgrades if they make sense for your home. For larger or specialized systems like garage doors, we can help point you in the right direction if needed.
- Storm doors for added protection
- Screen doors for airflow and seasonal use
- Guidance on additional exterior upgrades
Can I customize the look of my new exterior door?
Yes. Your perfect door should fit both your home and your personal style. From glass inserts that bring in natural light to hardware finishes like a new door handle, there are plenty of ways to customize the final look.
We help you coordinate materials, finishes, and design details so your new door feels like it belongs with the rest of your home’s exterior.
- Glass options for privacy and natural light
- Hardware selections including handles and finishes
- Styles that match your home’s design
