At Adkins & Sons, we understand how important it is to find the perfect door for your home. For over 40 years, our family-owned company has been providing quality exterior doors Detroit homeowners trust to enhance curb appeal, increase security, and improve energy efficiency. Whether you’re updating entry doors, adding patio doors, or replacing storm doors, we have a large selection of materials and styles to meet every need and budget.
Choose a Door
A door is chosen twice: once for where it goes and once for what it is made of. Start here, with the opening. Every one of these is custom built to your actual rough opening and backed by the same 15-year labor warranty.
The front door, with or without the narrow sidelites beside it. This is the one that sets the tone for the whole front of the house, and the one a stranger judges first. Fiberglass or steel, glass or solid, in a finish you pick rather than one the big-box store had in stock.
Two leaves that meet in the middle and open into a much wider opening than a single door can. Worth it when the entry is grand enough to carry it, or when furniture has to get through. Both leaves are hinged, so nothing is lost to a fixed panel.
One panel glides sideways past a fixed one. Nothing swings into the room or out onto the deck, which makes it the practical answer for a patio where a chair or a grill sits close to the wall. Big glass, small footprint.
A glass door on hinges next to a fixed glass panel. It swings clear like a real door, so the whole opening is usable, and it seals against the frame rather than riding in a track. Available with blinds sealed between the panes.
A painted aluminum door that hangs in front of the entry door and takes the weather so that door does not have to. Full-view models swap the glass for a screen when spring comes, so you can leave the front door open and still keep the bugs outside.
Compare Materials
Three materials, one crew. Every door is measured, installed, and warrantied the same way; the choice comes down to the look you want, the security you want, and how much upkeep you are willing to sign up for.
We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house. Cost tracks the size of the openings, the materials you pick, and what the crew finds once the old units come out. What we promise is the full number in writing at the estimate, before anything is ordered, with no pressure to sign that day.
Flexible financing is available if you want it. You can also walk our 4,000 sq. ft. showroom in Southgate and operate full-size windows and doors yourself before you commit to anything.

Storm doors are an essential upgrade for any Metro Detroit home. They serve as your first defense against rain, snow, wind, and other elements, helping to protect your entry door and reduce energy loss through the seasons. At Adkins & Sons, we offer a wide selection of durable storm doors with options that match your home’s design and offer long-term benefits.
Many of our storm doors include integrated screen doors, giving homeowners the ability to enjoy ventilation and fresh air without compromising security. Whether you’re looking for seasonal airflow or full-time functionality, our screen doors bring added value to any entryway. With optional privacy or pet-resistant screens, you can create a comfortable and protected environment.
The perfect storm door should offer more than protection. It should complement your home’s exterior, provide a tight seal, and include thoughtful design features like retractable screens or interchangeable panels. We carry multiple designs so you can find the right storm door for your needs. Whether you prefer a full-view glass model for maximum light or a high-durability option for high-traffic areas, we’ll help you find the right fit.
We proudly offer Andersen storm doors, along with other trusted brands like Larson. These doors combine innovative engineering and beautiful finishes to deliver high performance and timeless style.

Your front door is a focal point of your home, and choosing the right storm door ensures it remains safe from the elements while adding curb appeal. Our storm doors are designed to match your existing entry door and provide a seamless look. With options that enhance natural light, offer increased security, and block drafts, these doors bring functionality and design together.
One of the most popular features we offer is retractable screens, which allow you to enjoy good air and ventilation during warmer months. These screens retract smoothly into the frame when not in use, maintaining a sleek appearance while offering flexibility. When you want airflow without pests or debris, these screens deliver an ideal solution.

Your Local Rep
Giuseppe Alongi is one of our remodeling consultants and covers Detroit and the rest of our eastern service area. Ask for Giuseppe by name: Giuseppe comes out for the free in-home estimate, measures the openings, walks you through the material options, and hands you the full price in writing before anything is ordered. If a question comes up mid-job, Giuseppe is the person to call, and the phone rings in our Southgate office rather than a national call center.

What Sets Us Apart
When the company that sold you the job is not the company that installed it, a warranty call two years later turns into a search for whoever did the work. We do not work that way in Detroit. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Our own factory-trained crew does the work, protects your floors and landscaping, and hauls away the old materials.

Warranty
15
Years Warranty
Every installation is backed by our industry-leading 15-year labor warranty, on top of the manufacturer's coverage on the door itself. If the workmanship ever needs attention, one call and we make it right, at no cost to you.
180 Month
2
Years Warranty
Most door companies stand behind their installation for only a year or two. Once that coverage runs out, drafts, leaks, and seal failures become the homeowner's problem to fix.
