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.

Door Replacement in Arizona: Wood Doors

Wood doors are the traditional standard and may be painted or finished to suit any taste or lifestyle. Wood is beautiful and natural, with many species from which to choose and finish naturally, including oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, maple, fir, pine and paint-grade doors from any of several softwoods. Wood has the warm, natural look and feel that most people prefer. But wood is vulnerable to the elements. Season after season of sun and rain eventually warp, crack and bow wood, and moisture repeatedly shrink and swell wood fibers until finally, the wooden doors must be replaced. Thus, wood doors require the most care over time.
