What makes Adkins & Sons different from other storm door companies in Bloomfield Hills?
Three things set us apart: our lead installer personally visits every installation, we offer an industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee versus the typical 1-2 years, and we hold elite Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor status. Plus, we’ve served southeastern Michigan continuously since 1979 with factory-trained pros who do a great job on every project.
Is a full-view or mid-view storm door better for my situation?
Full-view doors work best if you have a beautiful entry door to showcase and want maximum natural light enhancing your space. Mid-view doors suit families with pets or high-traffic entries where the lower panel protects against scratches. We assess your door’s sun exposure, usage patterns, and design preferences during consultation to recommend options that fit your home, whether it’s a Cape Cod, ranch, or contemporary build.
How long does storm door installation usually take in Bloomfield Hills?
Most storm door installations take 2-3 hours from start to finish. Our crew arrives on time, protects your floors and entry area, completes the installation with precision and attention to detail, then cleans up thoroughly. Weather rarely delays us since we work year-round. Permits typically aren’t required for storm door replacements in Bloomfield Hills.
How do I know if I really need a storm door?
You likely need to replace your current setup with a new one if your entry door is drafty, your heating bills seem high, or your wood door shows fading or weather damage. Homes built before 1990 with original doors benefit most from the added protection. Schedule a free consultation and our knowledgeable team will assess your door’s condition and explain how storm doors protect your house and investment.
Do you offer warranties or ongoing maintenance?
Every installation includes our 15-year labor guarantee covering workmanship issues. Manufacturer warranties on our complete line of Pella, Andersen, ProVia, and Fox Weldoor storm doors range from 10 years to lifetime depending on the model and materials. We provide maintenance guidance during final walkthrough and remain available for adjustments or service throughout the warranty period, giving you reliability you can trust.
Will a storm door make my entry door too hot in summer?
Heat buildup only happens when full glass storm doors face direct sun for more than 2-3 hours daily without proper ventilation or Low-E coating. During our consultation, we check your door’s sun exposure and recommend Low-E glass options that reflect heat or ventilated models with retractable screens. Proper selection prevents damage while maintaining function.
Can I use my storm door for ventilation in nice weather?
Absolutely. Most storm doors include interchangeable glass and screen panels or retractable screens that disappear when not needed. This lets you open your entry door for fresh airflow while keeping insects out. Happy customers in West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, and Novi tell us this is one of their favorite features. We show you how to operate these features during installation.
How long do storm doors last in Michigan weather?
Storm doors professionally installed last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance in Michigan’s climate when you choose the right materials and style. Cheaper models or poor installation reduce lifespan to 10-15 years. Our factory-trained installers ensure proper fit, and our 15-year labor guarantee protects your investment. Regular cleaning and occasional weatherstripping replacement keep them performing optimally.
What's the difference between aluminum and steel storm door frames?
Aluminum frames are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and the most common choice for Bloomfield Hills homes. They handle Michigan weather well and cost less than steel while offering excellent durability. We help you choose based on your priorities for security, budget, and design during consultation.
Do you install other doors besides storm doors?
Yes. Along with storm doors, we install front entry doors, patio doors, and full door replacements. We also handle replacement windows and siding, so we can help with any exterior upgrade your Bloomfield Hills home needs.
