Storm Doors in Lynnwood
We install storm doors that keep rain off your entry door, let air in on warm days and close softly behind you. You get a set arrival window, a clear plan for install day and a heads-up from us if anything changes.
A second door that earns its spot
A storm door sits in front of your entry door. It takes the rain and wind first, so the door behind it lasts longer. With a screen panel in, it turns your front or back door into a breezy opening without letting bugs in.
We measure the opening, help you pick a style that fits how you use the door, and fit it so it latches cleanly and seals at the bottom. Most installs are finished in a single day, and we tell you up front how long ordering will take so you can plan around it.
What the job includes
Measuring and picking the door
We measure the opening in a few spots, since many older frames are not perfectly square. Then we walk you through full-view, ventilating and retractable-screen styles and what each one is good for.
Taking out the old door
If there is an old storm door, we remove it along with its closer and hardware. We haul it away so it does not end up leaning against your garage.
Fitting the frame to your opening
The hinge rail and expander bar get set so the door hangs straight even when the opening is a bit off. This is the step that decides whether the door closes right for years.
Closer, latch and sweep set up
We adjust the closer so the door does not slam or drift open. The latch gets lined up and the bottom sweep set to close the gap at the threshold.
Walkthrough and cleanup
We show you how to swap glass and screen panels and how to adjust the closer speed. Then we sweep up, pick up screws and packaging, and leave your entry the way we found it, plus a new door.
Signs it is time for a new storm door
The closer slams or will not hold
A worn closer lets the door bang shut or swing wide in the wind. Sometimes a new closer is enough, and we will tell you if that is the case.
Bent or loose frame
Aluminum frames bend after years of wind catching the door. Once the frame is out of shape, the latch stops lining up and the door rattles.
Water at the threshold
A worn or missing sweep lets wind-driven rain reach your entry door and the floor inside. In a wet climate that adds up over a fall and winter.
Torn screens or stuck panels
If the screen is ripped or the glass panel will not come out for summer, the door is not doing half its job.
Your entry door finish is wearing fast
Peeling paint or a graying wood door often means it is taking the weather head-on. A storm door in front of it slows that down.
How it goes, start to finish
- 1
A phone call first
You tell us about the door and what bothers you about it. We set up a no-pressure consultation at a time that works for you.
- 2
Measure visit with an arrival window
We give you a set window for the visit and show up inside it. If we are running behind, we call before the window closes, not after.
- 3
Ordering with a real date
Stock sizes come in faster than custom ones. We tell you which yours is and give you a realistic install date. If the supplier slips, you hear it from us right away along with the new date.
- 4
Install day
Most storm doors go in within a few hours. You can use your entry door for most of the day, and we keep the walkway clear.
- 5
Final check
We open and close the door with you, check the latch and lock, and answer any questions before we pack up.
What moves the price
Storm doors range a lot depending on style and the shape of the opening. We give you a written quote by phone or at the measure visit, broken out by door and labor, so nothing shows up later as a surprise.
- Door style
- A basic full-view door with a swap-out screen costs less than a ventilating door with a retractable screen built in. Retractable screens are handy but add parts and price.
- Frame and glass
- Heavier frames hold up better to wind. Low-E or tempered glass upgrades add to the cost and help with heat and safety.
- Condition of the opening
- If the trim around your entry door is rotted or badly out of square, it needs work before a storm door can hang right. We show you photos of what we find and explain the options.
- Size and hardware
- Odd sizes may need a custom order. Handle sets, a keyed deadbolt and frame color also change the total.
Storm door questions we hear
Something not covered here? (425) 675-8781
Can a storm door damage my entry door?
It can when the entry door is a dark color and sits in strong afternoon sun. Heat gets trapped in the space between the two doors and can blister paint or warp some materials. We check which way your door faces and may point you toward low-E glass or a ventilating style that lets that heat out.
How long from ordering to install?
Stock sizes tend to show up sooner than custom orders. When you order, we give you the date we actually expect, not the most hopeful one. If the supplier holds things up, we phone you with the new date as soon as we hear.
Will a storm door fit my opening?
Most standard openings take a stock door, and the expander bar covers small gaps at the bottom. If the frame is far out of square or the trim is damaged, we explain at the measure visit what fixing it would involve.
Does someone need to stay at the house during the install?
We like to meet an adult when we arrive and again at the end, so we can go over how the door works. The hours in between, all we need is a clear path to the doorway. You get an arrival window ahead of time, so you can work the rest of your day around it.
Can I add a storm door when I replace my entry door?
Yes, and doing both together usually makes sense so the sizes and colors line up. Our Entry Doors page covers that part of the work, and we can price both doors on the same phone call.
Is there a way to spread out what I pay?
There is. When we go over your quote by phone, ask about our flexible payment options. We explain how each one works so you can pick the one that suits your budget before anything gets ordered.
