Your home’s main entry is the first thing that visitors notice when they arrive at your home. It not only protects your home from danger, wind, rain, heat and cold but it also leaves a lasting impression on your visitors.

At Republic West we know that you want the best door replacement Scottsdale services. Republic West, door replacement Scottsdale, offers a huge selection from conventional wood models to high-tech alternatives made of fiberglass composites and steel.

Door Replacement in Scottsdale: Fiberglass Doors
Fiberglass doors are well-insulated, extremely low maintenance, and quite durable. Unlike wood doors, they don’t need resealing or repainting, won’t crack or warp, and are resistant to dents and chips. These doors offer unlimited possibilities in appearance. Paint grade fiberglass has become a wonderful alternative to steel, because the prices are similar but the problem of denting becomes obsolete. At the high end, fiberglass doors are almost indistinguishable from wood because of molded wood grain texturing and the fact that they can be stained to match most popular woods such as oak, cherry and walnut. Fiberglass doors are offered with limited lifetime warranties or 20-year warranties depending upon which type you choose.

Door Replacement in Scottsdale: Steel Doors
For security and durability, steel doors are another alternative, but far less popular than in the past due to the availability and price point of the paint grade fiberglass doors. Like wood doors, steel doors are prone to damage from dents (which can be fixed with an auto-body repair kit). They may also require some maintenance because their coatings may scratch or wear. However, they are much more durable than wood doors - they won’t crack, warp or come apart and insulate about five times better.

Since we started Republic West back in 1995, we have made it a priority to “give back” to the community regularly. It is a part of our culture that makes us proud.

This year, our community outreach program has adopted Eileen Roger’s “Big Birthday Wish” and we are fully committed to helping Eileen reach her goal of building a school in Mali. On February 22, 2010, we will hold a yard sale and all proceeds will go to benefit the Big Wish.

We need your help to support The Big Wish! We are asking you to donate your unused or unwanted items for the Republic West yard sale.

Please take a moment to read about the “Big Wish.” “The Big Wish” is to build a 90-student, two-classroom, brick and cement school and related projects in the Mali village of Tourari, located approximately 10 miles west of Timbuktu.

While many people celebrate milestones with a big trip to a faraway place or an extravagant party, Eileen Rogers has chosen to celebrate her 50^th birthday this year to raise funds to build a school in Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa.  Those of us close to Eileen are not at all surprised because we have always admired and been inspired by her commitment to giving to those less fortunate than her. She is an inspiration.

To join Republic West in their support of “The Big Wish” please donate items for our yard sale or visit www.turtlewill.org/donate.php and make a donation.
