Storm Doors in Sammamish
A good storm door shields your entry door from rain and grime, lets in a breeze on mild days and closes with a quiet click. We help you choose the style and finish, then hang it square so it works smoothly for years.
A Second Layer for Your Front Entry
A storm door sits outside your main entry door. It takes the weather first, protecting the paint, stain and hardware behind it. With glass or screen panels you can swap or slide, it also turns a closed door into a ventilated one.
Through long wet winters the difference shows on the entry door itself. Finishes stay fresh longer, the threshold stays drier and less grit gets tracked inside. If your entry door is already worn past saving, our entry doors page covers full replacement, and we can quote both together.
What Our Storm Door Work Includes
Help picking the right design
We compare full-view, mid-view and ventilating doors with you, along with retractable screens that tuck away when you do not need them. Frame colors and hardware finishes come as physical samples you can hold against your trim.
Careful measuring
Few entries are perfectly square. We take readings at several points and look over the brickmould and jamb, so the door is sized to the opening that is really there.
Trim and opening prep
Any split or soft trim around the entry is dealt with before the door goes up. The frame can only be as solid as the wood it fastens into.
Closer, chain and latch setup
The pneumatic closer and wind chain are tuned so the door shuts all the way without a bang and a sudden gust cannot fling it open.
Cleanup and walkthrough
We haul away packaging and the old hardware. Before leaving, we show you how to change panels, lock up and adjust the closer as the weather shifts.
Signs It Is Time for a New Storm Door
The closer slams or will not catch
A worn closer lets the door bang against the frame or drift open. Replacing the closer sometimes helps, but on an older door the frame is often loose too.
Wind has bent the frame
One strong gust can catch an open door and twist it past its hinges. Once the frame is out of true it will not seal again.
Torn screen or missing sweep
Gaps at the bottom sweep and rips in the screen let in bugs, leaves and wind-driven rain.
Your entry door is weathering fast
Peeling finish, gray wood and a stained threshold usually mean nothing is shielding the door from rain.
Storm damage after a windstorm
Cracked glass or a door torn from its hinges by a fallen branch. Take photos before anything is moved; they matter if you file a claim.
How a Storm Door Project Runs
- 1
A call and a visit
Start with a phone call. We set a time to look at your entry, take measurements and talk through how you use the door day to day.
- 2
Choosing the door
You pick the style, glass, color and hardware with samples in hand. We give you a written quote with each part listed, so nothing is buried.
- 3
Installation day
We protect your porch and entry floor, remove the old door if there is one, prep the opening and hang the new unit. Most installs finished in a single day is the normal pace for this work.
- 4
Final adjustments
We fine-tune the closer, check the latch and sweep, clean up and walk you through the hardware before leaving.
What Shapes the Cost of a Storm Door
A plain screen door and a heavy full-glass door with a custom finish sit far apart on price. Most of the difference comes from the model itself, and some comes from how sound the trim and jambs are around your entry. We look at the opening in person before putting a number on paper, and flexible payment options are available.
- Door style and frame
- Retractable-screen models and full-view glass doors sit above basic ventilating designs. A sturdier aluminum or wood-core frame stands up better to gusts and years of daily traffic.
- Glass type
- Every door we hang uses tempered glass as the baseline. Adding a low-E coating or decorative glass raises the cost, and it pays you back in heat control or privacy.
- Condition of the opening
- Jambs that are out of square, missing trim or soft brickmould have to be put right first, or the new door will never hang true.
- Hardware and finish
- A keyed deadbolt, an upgraded handle set or a color matched to your trim each nudge the total up slightly.
Storm Door Questions
Something not covered here? (425) 675-7045
Will a full-glass storm door trap heat against my entry door?
It can on a door that gets strong afternoon sun. Heat builds between the two doors and can stress some finishes. In those spots we often suggest low-E glass or a ventilating design you can open in summer. We will tell you plainly if your entry is a risky fit.
Can my storm door be covered by homeowners insurance?
Sometimes, when the damage comes from a covered event such as a windstorm or falling tree limb. Wear and tear usually is not covered. We cannot promise what your insurer will approve, but we can photograph the damage, write up what we find and explain what an adjuster typically asks for.
Do I need to replace my entry door at the same time?
No. A storm door goes on over most existing entries as long as the trim is solid. If your entry door is failing, it makes sense to look at both while we are there.
How long will installation take?
Most installs finished in a single day. If the opening needs trim repair first, we tell you at the quote so the day holds no surprises.
Is there pressure to buy at the visit?
None. We offer free, no-pressure quotes, and you can take whatever time you need to decide.
