Storm Doors in Sammamish
A good storm door lets in light and air, guards your entry door from weather and closes quietly behind you. We repair the one you have when that is sensible, and fit a new one carefully when it is not.
Repair what works, renew what doesn't
Most storm door complaints come down to a few small parts. A worn pneumatic closer, a torn bottom sweep or a loose latch can make a sound door feel finished. Those parts are inexpensive to swap, so we check them first and tell you plainly when a repair will give you years more use.
Some doors are past that point. An aluminum frame bent by a gust that caught it open, a corroded hinge rail or an opening that has shifted out of square will not hold a repair for long. In those cases we explain why and show you new options, from full-view glass to doors with a retractable screen.
Either way, the goal is the same: a door that seals against wind-driven rain, swings smoothly and looks like it belongs on your home.
What our storm door work covers
- 01
An honest assessment
We look at the closer, hinges, latch, sweep, expander and frame, then tell you what we would fix and what we would leave alone.
- 02
Hardware and seal repairs
Closers, wind chains, handle sets, sweeps and weatherstripping can usually be swapped without touching the frame. This is often all a tired door needs.
- 03
Glass and screen panels
We fit new glass in cracked inserts and rescreen torn panels. We can also move an older door to interchangeable panels, so you change from glass to screen with the seasons.
- 04
New storm door installation
Full-view, mid-view and retractable-screen doors in a range of colors and hardware finishes. Each one is fitted to your existing entry door frame, shimmed level and sealed along the edges.
- 05
Glass break warranty
New storm doors we install are covered by our glass break warranty. Ask us on the call how it applies to the door you choose.
- 06
Careful cleanup
We protect the porch and entry, take away the old door and packaging, and leave the area swept.

It slams or won't latch
A closer that has lost pressure lets the door bang shut or stop short of the latch. Usually a closer swap, not a new door.
Daylight at the bottom
If you can see light under the door, the sweep or expander has worn or slipped. Rain and cold air get in the same way.
The frame is bent or twisted
Wind can catch an open storm door and fold the hinge side. Once the frame is out of shape, replacement is usually the honest answer.
Cracked or fogged glass
A cracked panel is a safety concern and should be dealt with promptly. Fogging between layers in an insulated insert means the seal has failed.
Rubbing, sagging or corrosion
A door that drags on the threshold may only need hinge adjustment. Heavy corrosion along the hinge rail is a different matter, and we will tell you which you have.
How a storm door job runs
- 1
A free quote by phone
Tell us what the door is doing. We will set a time to come look, with no pressure to buy anything.
- 2
Measure and recommend
We measure the opening, check it for square and look at the entry door behind it. You get our repair-or-replace recommendation and the reasons for it.
- 3
A clear written estimate
The estimate lists the parts, the door if you need one and the labor. If something changes once the old door is off, we stop and talk to you first.
- 4
Install day
Most installs finished in a single day. We remove the old door, fit and seal the new one, adjust the closer and latch, then walk you through using it.
What moves the price
A storm door repair and a new door are very different jobs, so we price each one from what we actually find. We will not quote a figure before seeing the opening, and we would rather tell you a repair is enough than sell a door you don't need. Flexible payment options are available.
- Repair or replacement
- New hardware or a sweep costs far less than a new door. This is the biggest single factor, and the first thing we settle.
- Door style
- Full-view glass, mid-view, interchangeable panels and retractable screens each carry a different cost.
- Glass, color and hardware finish
- Low-E or tempered glass options, custom frame colors and upgraded handle sets all add to the price.
- Condition of the opening
- An out-of-square frame or soft trim around the entry needs correcting before a storm door can seal properly.
Storm door questions
Can you just fix my storm door instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Closers, sweeps, latches and screens can all be swapped on most doors. If the frame is bent or corroded, we will explain why a repair would not last and leave the decision with you.
Will a storm door hurt the finish on my front door?
Sometimes heat builds up in the gap between the two doors. Solid glass over a dark painted or stained door that takes direct afternoon sun is the usual cause, and the finish can blister or peel. Before we recommend anything, we check which way your entry faces and may suggest a venting glass panel or a retractable screen for the warm months.
Is a storm door worth having in our wet weather?
For many homes, yes. It shields the entry door and its finish from months of rain, and with a screen panel it gives you a breeze in summer without letting bugs in.
What happens if the glass breaks?
New storm doors we install come with our glass break warranty. We will go over exactly what it covers when we quote your door.
How long will the work take?
Repairs are usually quick, often done in a short visit. A new door generally takes the better part of a day, and you can use your entry normally once we are done.
