Marshfield MA Project: Entry Door Installation
About This Entry Door Installation Project
Classic silhouettes, clean lines, and a stark black and white color palette made this entry door installation pop! The Coastal Windows & Exteriors team installed a sliding glass door in the rear of the home, and a front entrance ProVia Legacy Steel Door with a right-hand inswing, a 14” sidelite, and a custom rectangular transom. The front door is finished in a striking Coal Black exterior and Snow Mist White interior. Built with ComforTech™ DLA glazing, a FrameSaver® frame, and Q-Lon weatherstripping, this new door seals out drafts, blocks moisture, and keeps indoor temperatures steady.
An Addison Grip entrance handle and thumbturn deadbolt add an extra layer of security, while the auto-adjusting threshold prevents gaps that let cold air creep in. This transformation instantly boosted curb appeal and insulated the home from energy loss—a win for both style and savings! If your door is draining your comfort (and your wallet), it’s time for an upgrade—call Coastal Windows & Exteriors for energy-efficient doors in Marshfield, MA!

Project Spotlight: Inside Look on Door Installation
Why did the homeowners replace their old wood door?
Their wood entry door was warping, sticking, and letting in drafts. Over time, humidity caused it to swell and rub against the frame, while winter made it shrink, creating noticeable gaps. The worn-out weatherstripping had also broken down, making it impossible to keep out cold air. They wanted a durable, energy-efficient door that wouldn’t shrink, crack, or leave them shivering every winter.
How did the new steel door improve the home?
For this energy-efficient doors in Marshfield project, we replaced the homeowner’s outdated entryway with a sleek, high-performance steel door and sidelite system designed for New England’s unpredictable weather. Their old door was warped, drafty, and struggling to function—a common problem for aging wood doors that swell in the heat and shrink in the cold. The homeowner needed a stronger, more secure, and better-insulated solution that wouldn’t just look great but would stand up to harsh conditions year-round.
The ProVia Legacy Steel Door was the perfect fit. Steel is 49% more energy efficient than wood, and this door’s polyurethane core ensures superior insulation. The homeowner also opted for a coal black exterior—a bold and modern statement that pairs beautifully with their home’s architecture. The decorative sidelite and transom glass let in natural light without sacrificing privacy or efficiency. No more battling stubborn doors, cold drafts, or sky-high heating bills!
Were there any extra features added to the project?
Absolutely! The homeowner chose a coal black exterior for a bold, modern look and an Addison Grip handle with a thumbturn deadbolt for added security. The rectangular transom and sidelite bring in natural light while maintaining privacy, and the auto-adjusting threshold ensures a perfect, weatherproof fit.
How do steel doors stand up to New England’s harsh weather?
Unlike wood, steel doors don’t warp, crack, or swell. The polyurethane core provides top-tier insulation, while the weatherstripping and threshold system block wind, rain, and snow. This means fewer drafts, less maintenance, and a consistently comfortable home.
What impact did the new door have on the home’s value?
A fiberglass or steel entry door replacement offers a 97.4% return on investment. With improved energy efficiency, enhanced security, and a sleek new look, this upgrade instantly increased curb appeal and made the home more attractive to future buyers.
