There's a reason the front door is one of the first things people notice about a home. It sets the tone for everything behind it — and when it stops doing its job, both the look and the comfort of the home suffer for it.
That was the reality for one homeowner in Wall Township, New Jersey. Their existing double entry door had become a source of daily frustration — drafts crept in around the frame, the insulation had long since broken down, and the outdated six-panel style no longer reflected the home's character or the homeowner's taste. It was time for a change.
The Project (Before & After)
The Problem
By the time the homeowner reached out to ACRE Windows & Doors, the existing door was falling short in two significant ways:
- Drafts and poor insulation — Air infiltration around the door frame had become noticeable, particularly in the colder months. What should have been a tight, weathersealed entry had become a consistent source of energy loss and discomfort.
- An outdated look — The old six-panel double door had served its time, but it no longer reflected the style the homeowner envisioned for their home. It simply wasn't doing the entry justice anymore.
A cosmetic fix wasn't going to address what was happening at the frame. What this home needed was a full replacement — one that would solve the performance issues and deliver the curb appeal upgrade the entry deserved.
The Solution: A ProVia Entry Door
After consulting with the ACRE Windows & Doors team, the homeowner selected a ProVia entry door — and it's easy to understand why.
ProVia is one of the most respected names in entry door manufacturing, known for exceptional craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and design flexibility. Their doors are engineered to perform in demanding climates, featuring a polyurethane foam core that delivers superior thermal insulation and keeps heating and cooling costs down year-round. The construction resists warping, cracking, and rotting — exactly the kind of durability this home needed after the performance issues with the previous unit.
For this project, the homeowner chose a craftsman-style double door in a clean white finish, paired with matte black hardware and smart keypad locks on both panels. Each door features a lite built directly into the upper panel — bringing natural light into the entryway while maintaining the door's clean, architectural lines. The result is a design that feels both classic and contemporary, with a level of detail that immediately elevates the home's curb appeal.
The Installation Process
Replacing a double entry door is a precise process — especially when the existing unit has been allowing air infiltration that may have affected the surrounding frame. Our installation team handled every step with care:
- Removed the existing double door and frame completely, carefully assessing the surrounding structure for any moisture damage or deterioration that needed to be addressed before the new unit went in.
- Prepared and squared the rough opening to ensure a precise, weathertight fit for the new ProVia door system.
- Installed the ProVia double door unit, including the new frame, weatherstripping, and threshold, ensuring proper alignment and a secure seal on all sides.
- Fitted the matte black hardware and smart keypad locks on both panels, verifying smooth, secure operation before completing the job.
- Finished the interior and exterior trim to a clean, professional standard that ties the full installation together seamlessly.
Every step was handled by our own experienced installation team — no subcontractors, no shortcuts.
The Result: A Curb Appeal Transformation That Performs
The difference is impossible to miss. From the street, the new craftsman-style double door makes an immediate statement — the clean white finish, the bold matte black hardware, and the lites built into each panel give the entry a polished, architectural look that the old six-panel doors simply couldn't deliver.
Inside, the lites bring warmth and natural light into the entryway, making the space feel brighter and more welcoming without sacrificing privacy or the door's clean lines.
Most importantly, the homeowner now has a front door that works as hard as it looks good. The ProVia unit's polyurethane foam core and precision weathersealing have eliminated the drafts that plagued the old door, making the entryway comfortable and energy-efficient in every season.
