Before & After
From a Swollen Wood Door to a Weather-Sealed Steel Door

Project Story
ProVia Legacy Steel Entry Door Replacement
AMG Doors & Windows replaced a 25-year-old wood exterior door in Walnut Creek with a factory-painted Café Cream ProVia Legacy steel entry door. The new door system addresses the swelling, gaps, water intrusion and insect entry that affected the original opening.
1. Project Overview
The service, brand, and reason for replacement
AMG Doors & Windows replaced a 25-year-old wood exterior door in Walnut Creek with a factory-painted Café Cream ProVia Legacy steel entry door. The new door system addresses the swelling, gaps, water intrusion and insect entry that affected the original opening.
2. Homeowner Pain Points
What the homeowner was dealing with
The home's original wood door was approximately 25 years old and had begun swelling. The distorted fit left openings that allowed bugs and water to enter the home, while the door itself became less dependable to operate and seal.
3. AMG Solution
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
AMG removed the aging wood door and installed a ProVia Legacy steel exterior door system in a factory-painted Café Cream finish. The opening was aligned and weather-sealed, and the new door was adjusted for consistent contact at the frame, threshold and weatherstripping.
Local Insight
Aging Wood Doors Can Lose Their Fit
After roughly 25 years, this wood exterior door had begun swelling and no longer sealed the opening reliably. The resulting gaps gave rainwater and insects a direct path into the home.
What We Installed
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
AMG replaced the failing wood unit with a complete ProVia Legacy steel exterior door system in Café Cream, retaining the home's full-view glass design while improving the fit of the opening.
4. Installation Details
How AMG installed this front door
The existing door was removed and the opening was prepared for the replacement system. AMG set and aligned the new frame, sealed the perimeter, adjusted the threshold and weatherstripping contact, and verified smooth door and hardware operation before completing the interior and exterior finish work.
5. Final Result
The improvement for the homeowner
The Walnut Creek home now has a clean, factory-finished ProVia Legacy steel door that fits the opening consistently and closes against the frame, threshold and weatherstripping. The Café Cream finish complements the light stucco exterior, while the full-view glass continues to bring natural light into the entry.
Why we recommended this product:
The ProVia Legacy steel door provided a stable, low-maintenance replacement for the moisture-sensitive wood door while preserving the full-view glass design the homeowners enjoyed. The factory-applied Café Cream finish coordinates with the home's light exterior and arrives with a consistent finished appearance.
Why the Full-View Design Still Worked
The homeowners did not need to give up the daylight and garden view they liked. The replacement kept a full-view glass configuration while upgrading the aging wood door system around it.
ProVia and AMG Warranty Support
