Doors
Doors that seal tight and stay true
A door on the shoreline takes sun, wind-driven rain, and salt air every day of the year. We install entry and exterior doors that close like they should, and keep closing that way.
Why shoreline doors give up early
Doors fail at the edges. Sun warps slabs that were never meant for southern exposure, salt air eats bargain hinges and locksets, and water wicks into the bottom of the jamb where the flashing was skipped. The slab usually gets the blame; the installation usually deserves it.
We fix the whole opening: square the rough frame, pan the sill, flash the jambs, and hang a door rated for the exposure it will face.
What we hang
Entry doors
Fiberglass, steel, and wood entry systems with sidelites and transoms, installed over a proper sill pan. Our main door trade, covered in detail on its own page.
Storm & secondary doors
Full-view and ventilating storm doors that add a weather layer without hiding a good entry door, plus solid service doors for garages, basements, and bulkhead entries.
Patio & sliding doors
Gliding and hinged patio doors with low-E glass and screens that track straight, with thresholds flashed so deck water stays on the deck.
Fit and hardware, built for salt air
Every door we hang gets composite or PVC jamb protection at grade, stainless or marine-grade hinges, and weatherstripping fitted to the actual gap — not whatever came stapled in the box. If your current door drags in August and whistles in January, that is a fit problem, and it is fixable.
Door sticking, leaking, or past its prime?
Sometimes it is the door, sometimes it is the sill or the framing. We will tell you which before anything gets ordered.
