How much should I budget for a front entry door replacement?

For a front entry door replacement in Ottawa, budget between $1,500 and $5,000 depending on the door material and features you choose. Most homeowners spend around $2,500 for a quality fiberglass door with professional installation.

Steel entry doors are the most budget-friendly option at $1,500 - $2,500 installed. They offer excellent security and energy efficiency, though they can dent and may show scratches over time. Steel doors work well in Ottawa's climate and provide good value for the investment.

Fiberglass entry doors typically run $2,000 - $4,000 installed and are the most popular choice among Ottawa homeowners. They resist warping, cracking, and fading while providing excellent insulation. Fiberglass can mimic the look of wood grain without the maintenance requirements, making them ideal for our freeze-thaw cycles.

Wood entry doors range from $3,000 - $5,000+ installed, offering beautiful natural aesthetics but requiring regular maintenance. In Ottawa's harsh winters and humid summers, wood doors need proper sealing and periodic refinishing to prevent warping and weather damage.

Additional costs to consider include sidelights ($1,000 - $3,000), decorative glass panels ($200 - $800), upgraded hardware ($100 - $500), and storm doors ($300 - $800). If your door frame needs replacement or structural work is required, add another $500 - $1,500 to your budget.

The installation typically takes 4-6 hours and includes proper weatherstripping, threshold installation, and ensuring the door meets Ontario's energy efficiency requirements. Quality installation is crucial in Ottawa's climate to prevent air leaks and energy loss.
