Drafty doors and rising energy bills are common frustrations for Farmington homeowners. Unlike homes in New Mexico or other mild climates, Michigan winters demand more from your entryway. Turn to Adkins & Sons for expert exterior door installation that delivers lasting comfort and curb appeal.
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We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

What Sets Us Apart

Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

734 283 7120Costs depend on door type, materials, and whether frame replacement is needed. We provide free estimates with transparent, competitive prices so you know exactly what to expect. Our team is dedicated to providing value on every project.
Our family-owned company brings 45+ years of expertise and a personal approach you won’t find at chain stores or other locations. Key differences include our lead installer personally visiting every job site, our industry-leading 15-year labor guarantee, and our Pella Platinum Elite Certified Contractor status reflecting our commitment to superior craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
For Michigan homeowners, fiberglass is often the best choice. It resists dents, won’t rust, and handles freeze-thaw cycles without warping. Steel offers maximum security at lower cost but can dent and conduct cold. We help you choose based on your priorities for security, aesthetics, and budget during your consultation. Explore both options at our showroom.
Most entry door installations take two to four hours when the frame is in good condition. If frame replacement is needed, expect a full day. Weather conditions and custom sizing for older Farmington homes can affect timing. We schedule installations promptly once your custom door arrives, typically within five to six weeks of ordering.
Common signs include visible drafts, difficulty opening or closing, condensation between glass panes, peeling or rotting frames, and increased energy bills. If your door is 20+ years old or shows these symptoms, replacement typically makes more sense than repair. We assess your current door during our free consultation to help you find the best solution.
Yes. Every installation includes our 15-year labor guarantee, one of the longest in the industry. Your new door also carries the manufacturer’s warranty from brands like ProVia, Pella, and Therma-Tru. If any issues arise, our team provides ongoing support to ensure your complete satisfaction with remodels and upgrades.
Fiberglass doors perform best in Michigan’s climate, unlike options suited for Mexico or warmer states like MO. They offer R-5 to R-6 insulation values, resist moisture and temperature extremes, and won’t warp or rot like wood. Steel doors provide excellent security but require thermal breaks to prevent cold transfer. We stock options from trusted brands designed specifically for harsh weather.
Yes. This opportunity is available through December 31, 2025. Our team can help you select qualifying doors that meet the required U-Factor ratings for maximum savings.
Absolutely. We understand Farmington’s architectural heritage, including Victorian and mid-century design throughout the Historic District. Our selection includes customizable options with various panel styles, glass configurations, and finishes.

Full-view storm doors maximize light and provide a classic look ideal for showcasing beautiful entry doors. Ventilating models with screens offer fresh air options during pleasant weather. Consider how you use your entryway and living space. Our team can assist you in choosing the right option based on your home’s style.
Most storm door installations take just a few hours to complete. After you select your new door, product lead times are typically five to six weeks for custom orders. Once your door arrives at our location, we schedule installation promptly. Weather rarely impacts timing since the work happens at your entry.
Signs you need to replace your storm door include drafts around your entry, difficulty latching, visible damage to the frame or glass, or worn weatherstripping. If your current door is over 15 years old, it may lack modern energy efficiency features. This upgrade protects your entry door and can reduce heating costs significantly.
For Michigan’s harsh weather conditions, look for storm doors with quality weatherstripping, durable frames, and insulated glass options. Steel and fiberglass frames hold up well against extreme temperatures and the elements. Proper installation matters most. Our factory-trained installers ensure your new door seals tightly for complete protection.
Proper closer installation is key to safety and durability. Our team uses quality closers with appropriate tension settings and secures them with long screws into solid framing. We position closers to prevent the door from swing open violently. If wind is a major concern at your location, we recommend security storm doors with reinforced construction.
Poorly installed storm doors can trap heat and moisture, potentially damaging your entry door’s finish. Proper ventilation and installation prevent this issue. Our team ensures adequate airflow between doors and selects products appropriate for your entry door type. We also discuss proper seasonal use to protect your investment and achieve lasting results.
Absolutely. They create an insulating air pocket between your entry door and the elements outside. Farmington homeowners with older homes see the biggest benefit. Combined with quality windows, storm doors enhance comfort and lower heating costs throughout your house.
