Welcome to Hawkins Siding & Exteriors, your premier partner in home transformation. Your front door is more than just an entryway; it’s the handshake of your home—the first impression guests receive and the primary shield protecting your sanctuary.
In this guide, we explore how high-performance doors blend aesthetic elegance with rugged durability. With our expertise and commitment to precision, we help you choose doors that don’t just “fit”, they inspire.
Industry-Leading Craftsmanship: Our Featured Partners
To ensure your home receives the best in the business, we have curated a selection from the industry’s most respected manufacturers, offering solutions in fiberglass, steel, and authentic wood.
Therma-Tru® Doors: The Fiberglass Pioneer
Therma-Tru revolutionized the industry by inventing the fiberglass door. Their systems offer the authentic look and feel of wood with the uncompromising performance of engineered materials.
Their high-end lines (like Classic Craft) feature mahogany, oak, and cherry grains that are virtually indistinguishable from real wood, molded from actual wood pieces for authentic texture.
Unlike others, Therma-Tru manufactures the door, the glass, and the components (sills, hinges, and weatherstripping) to work together as a single, sealed unit.
Each door is built with a CFC-free polyurethane foam core, providing an R-value up to four times higher than traditional wood doors, keeping your climate-controlled air inside where it belongs.
Engineered to withstand extreme weather and forced entry, their multi-point locking systems offer peace of mind without sacrificing style.
ProVia® Doors: Professional-Class Customization
ProVia sets the gold standard for homeowners who demand “to-the-inch” precision and elite artistry.
Precision Engineering
Every ProVia door is custom-tailored to your specific opening. This eliminates the need for excessive shims during installation and ensures a tighter, more energy-efficient seal.
Legacy Steel & Signet Fiberglass
Their Legacy Steel line features 20-gauge steel, containing 49% more galvannealed steel than a standard 24-gauge door, making it one of the toughest doors on the market.
Masterful Artistry
ProVia is world-renowned for its hand-stained finishes, decorative glass, and exceptional craftsmanship, creating custom entry doors with timeless beauty and enhanced curb appeal.
Pre-Finished & Custom Colors:
You can receive your door pre-finished from the factory with high-durability paints or stains. If our standard palette doesn’t match your vision, ProVia can customize any color to ensure your door perfectly complements your home’s unique palette.
Authentic Wood Doors: Timeless Elegance
For the purist, nothing compares to the weight, scent, and natural variation of a handcrafted wood door.
Available in premium species like Mahogany, Knotty Alder, and White Oak, wood doors provide a level of character and architectural depth that is truly unique.
These doors offer substantial heft and natural insulating properties.
Wood allows for endless refinishing options over the years, giving you the flexibility to change your home's look as trends evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it’s time to replace my exterior doors?
Common signs include visible drafts, difficulty opening or closing the door, moisture trapped between glass panes, or physical damage like warping, rot, or rusting. If your energy bills are rising, your old door may be the culprit.
What is the difference between Fiberglass, Steel, and Wood?
- Fiberglass (The “All-Arounder”): This is the most versatile option, offering the premium look of natural wood with zero risk of rot. It is highly scratch-resistant, requires very low maintenance, and can be painted or pre-finished to match your home’s design.
- Steel (The Economic Choice): Steel is an economical and budget-friendly option. These units are often hollow and are most commonly recommended for utility areas, such as the entrance to a garage, where functional durability is the priority.
- Wood (The Premium Classic): Wood is the top choice for historical accuracy and unmatched natural beauty. However, it is a high-maintenance material that requires frequent staining or sealing to protect it from moisture and environmental wear.
- Sliding Glass Doors (The Light Maximizer): Unlike traditional swing doors, sliding glass doors are designed to maximize natural light and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. They are a specialized service focused on enhancing the “flow” of the home while maintaining energy efficiency.
How can I customize the glass in my new door?
For both entry doors and sliding glass doors, you can tailor the glass to balance privacy and natural light:
- Glass Configurations: You can choose how much glass is integrated into the door unit with full-light, half-light, and quarter-light
- Pane & Grid Styles: We offer multiple pane configurations and decorative grids to ensure the new unit matches the style of your home’s existing window openings.
What hardware options are available?
To complete your door’s look, we offer a wide range of custom hardware finishes:
- Complete Sets: You can select matching finishes for handles, locks, and hinges.
- Aesthetic Coordination: These options allow you to coordinate your door’s hardware with your home’s existing interior and exterior design elements.
Can Doors Be Customized?
Yes. Beyond standard replacements, doors can be customized through the following structural and stylistic configurations:
- Structural Modifications: Walls can be knocked out to expand openings, accommodate larger door systems, or convert windows into sliding glass doors.
- Versatile Configurations: Installations include various styles such as 4-panel sliders and French doors.
- Specialized Focus: All custom work is integrated into the home’s specific siding and exterior
