But whether you're looking for better energy efficiency, enhanced security, or a curb appeal upgrade, a new front door can be a smart investment.
Here’s what you need to know about front door replacement costs—and why HomeFix is your go-to partner for professional installation and peace of mind.
What Is the Average Front Door Replacement Cost in 2025?
Most homeowners in the Mid-Atlantic region can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 for a quality front door replacement, including professional installation. Basic steel doors start around $600, while custom fiberglass or wood doors can reach up to $6,000.
Quick Cost Breakdown:
Steel Door (basic): $1000 to $2,000
Fiberglass Door: $1,000–$3,000
Wood Door: $2,000–$6,000
Custom Options with Sidelights or Glass Panels: $3,000–$6,000+
Keep in mind, those costs include materials, hardware, labor, and disposal of your old door.
What Factors Influence Front Door Replacement Costs?
Several variables can increase or decrease your total cost. Here’s a closer look at the most common ones:
Material Types: Fiberglass vs. Steel vs. Wood
- Fiberglass is energy-efficient, durable, and low maintenance—ideal for most homes.
- Steel is secure and affordable, though it can dent more easily.
- Wood is beautiful and classic but typically the most expensive and high maintenance.
Door skins give you the look of wood with the durability of steel or fiberglass.
Custom Design and Sidelights
Custom glass inserts, sidelights, or transoms can elevate your home’s style but also increase the cost.
HomeFix can help design a one-of-a-kind entry system that reflects your home’s architecture.
Door Size and Configuration
Standard doors are 36" wide and 80" tall.
Double doors, oversized doors, or unusual dimensions require more materials and time to install.
Add-Ons: Glass Panels, Hardware, Finishes
- Want frosted glass, smart locks, or decorative hardware? These upgrades enhance function and aesthetics—but they come at a premium.
How to Choose the Best Front Door for Your Home
Your front door is a focal point of your home's exterior. Here’s what to consider:
Match Your Home’s Architectural Style
Whether your home is modern, colonial, or craftsman, choose a door that complements your architecture.
HomeFix offers a variety of options to suit both historic and contemporary designs.
Consider Security and Durability
Look for multi-layer construction and a deadbolt that extends at least one inch into a metal strike plate.
Ask about ProVia steel and fiberglass doors, which meet or exceed industry security standards.
