When it comes to exterior doors, you need options that provide aesthetic appeal and enhance the security of your home in Southgate, Michigan. At Adkins & Sons, we get it. After all, we’ve been providing area homeowners with quality replacement doors since 1979, so we’ve learned a thing or two about these products for over the years. With us, you can count on receiving quality replacement doors that provide the exact functionality and aesthetics you’re looking for.
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.
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We do not publish a price for windows, doors, or siding, because an honest one does not exist before someone has stood in your house.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.

Kyle Adkins Jr. is our VP of Sales and covers Southgate and the rest of our southern service area. 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.
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 Southgate. Our own employees do the installation, never subcontractors, and the 15-year labor warranty comes from us, so there is one company to call.

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.

«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.
