Your Plymouth home deserves an entry door that combines modern design with proven durability to handle Michigan’s brutal winters. Since 1979, Adkins & Sons has helped homeowners throughout Plymouth find the perfect exterior doors that bring both safety and style to their house.
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We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

The right combination of materials ensures long-lasting performance whether you have a Cape Cod, colonial, or contemporary house style.
Security storm doors provide enhanced protection with reinforced steel frames, multi-point locking systems, and impact-resistant glass. Plymouth homeowners appreciate the added peace of mind when opening their main door to visitors, especially during evening hours.

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

If your existing frame shows rot, structural damage, or poor condition, complete frame replacement ensures proper functionality and longevity. For frames in good shape, door slab replacement works well and brings value while costing less.

Most single door installations take 4 to 6 hours. Projects involving multiple doors or custom configurations may require a full day of work. Weather rarely delays us since we install year-round. Our team uses efficient processes ensuring minimal disruption. Permits in Plymouth typically aren’t required for direct replacements but may add 3 to 5 business days when needed for structural changes or addition of new openings.
Watch for these signs affecting safety and energy efficiency: visible daylight around the frame, increasing energy bills, drafts you can feel, difficulty opening or closing affecting functionality, visible warping or cracking showing poor condition, condensation between glass panes, or weatherstripping that’s deteriorated.

Fiberglass and steel doors with polyurethane foam cores provide the best energy efficiency for Michigan’s climate, offering superior durability and insulation.

Plus, we’ve served Plymouth residents continuously since 1979 with factory-trained installers who do a fantastic job on every project.
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 complement your home, whether it’s a Cape Cod, ranch, or contemporary house.
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 Plymouth.
You likely need to replace your current setup with a storm door 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.
Heat buildup only occurs 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 assess 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 functionality.
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 air circulation while keeping insects out. We show you how to operate these features during installation and recommend the best option based on your home’s ventilation needs.
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.
