The exterior doors on your Gibraltar, MI home do more than provide entry and exit, they play a crucial role in your home’s security, energy efficiency, and overall appearance. Worn or outdated doors can compromise your home’s protection and curb appeal. At Adkins & Sons, we’ve been enhancing homes with high-quality exterior doors since 1979, offering homeowners options that blend style, durability, and performance.
When you decide to replace your front door, you’re not just upgrading the look of your home. You’re enhancing its functionality, too. Here’s why it’s a smart move:
Increase Curb Appeal
A new front door instantly upgrades your home’s exterior, creating an inviting look that adds value and charm. Plus, it’s one of the easiest ways to make a bold statement.
Boost Security
Modern front doors offer more than aesthetic appeal. Steel or fiberglass doors are built to withstand break-ins, ensuring your home stays secure. Our doors come with advanced locking systems to give you peace of mind.
Energy Efficiency
Older doors can be a major source of energy loss. Newer models with insulated cores and high-quality weatherstripping can reduce drafts, helping you lower your energy bills.

We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

Ask for Kyle by name: Kyle 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, Kyle is the person to call, and the phone rings in our Southgate office rather than a national call center.
Whatever the outside of your Gibraltar home needs, we handle it with our own employee crews, not subcontractors, and back the work with the same 15-year labor warranty.
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 Gibraltar. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

Adkins & Sons Warranty Guaranty
Adkins & Sons
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.
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.

Questions
Questions We Get from Gibraltar Homeowners
Not seeing your question? Call and ask. You will get someone in our Southgate office, not a call center, and the estimate is free either way.
Should I choose a full-view or ventilating storm door?
Full-view storm doors work best when you prioritize natural light and unobstructed views of your front yard. Ventilating storm doors are better if fresh air circulation is your main goal for healthy ventilation. Both options include easy-change glass and screen systems for seasonal flexibility. Our helpful team is ready to answer questions and help you evaluate your priorities during the consultation to pick the perfect model.
How do I know if I really need new exterior doors?
Consider replacement if you notice drafts around door frames, difficulty opening or closing doors smoothly, visible damage like cracks or rot, condensation between glass panes, or rising energy bills. Outdated styles that hurt curb appeal are another valid reason. If your doors are over 20 years old, newer options offer significant improvements in energy efficiency, security, and performance that benefit your home and family.
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 maintenance do storm doors require?
Storm doors need minimal maintenance to stay functional and attractive. Clean glass panels seasonally with mild soap and water. Lubricate hinges and closers annually to ensure smooth operation. Check weatherstripping for wear and tighten hardware as needed. Most homeowners find maintenance takes just minutes a few times per year, making storm doors a practical investment providing lasting protection.
What is the most energy-efficient exterior door material?
Fiberglass and steel doors with polyurethane foam cores provide the best energy efficiency for Michigan’s climate. They offer superior durability, low maintenance, and strong insulation. Look for doors with U-Factor ratings of 0.25 or lower and ENERGY STAR certification. ProVia’s insulated construction delivers five times better performance than solid wood while keeping an authentic appearance.
What door materials work best for Michigan winters?
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.

«Everyone was terrific and the windows are beautiful. So much so that we told friends in Woodhaven that they should call them when they indicated that they were interested in all new windows for their own house. They also went with Adkins and are very happy with the people and the work that was done.»
