Local Insight
Common Front Door Problems We See in Berkeley Homes
Many Berkeley homes deal with older front doors that no longer seal, latch, or protect the home properly. Common issues include visible daylight around the frame, drafts near the threshold, sticky locks, misaligned hardware, rotted jambs or trim, outdated curb appeal, poor insulation, and doors that no longer feel secure. AMG Doors & Windows helps Berkeley homeowners replace aging front entries with complete door systems designed for long-term security, weather sealing, and curb appeal.
What We Installed
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
For this Berkeley front door replacement, AMG installed a complete pre-hung entry door system. Full-system replacement is important because the slab, frame, threshold, weatherstripping, sweep, hinges, and hardware preparation are engineered to work together for a long-lasting seal and proper security alignment.
4. Installation Details
How AMG installed this front door
Installation included full-unit replacement of the pre-hung Therma-Tru Smooth-Star® entry — composite or treated jamb where required, sill support and sill pan flashing, low-expansion foam in the rough opening, exterior sealant and weather sealing at the brick mould or trim, interior casing, hardware bore and strike alignment, weatherstripping, sweep, and final adjustment for a tight, square, weather-tight seal.
5. Final Result
The improvement for the homeowner
The finished result is a stronger first impression for the Berkeley home — better curb appeal, smoother operation, a tight weather seal at the threshold and jambs, upgraded hardware feel, and a more secure entry backed by manufacturer and AMG workmanship warranties.
Why we recommended this product:
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star® was selected for its durable fiberglass construction, energy efficiency, clean modern appearance, and compatibility with composite jamb systems that resist swelling, rot, and moisture-related failure.

Frequently Asked
Questions about this project
How long does a front door replacement take in Berkeley, CA?+
Most Berkeley front door replacements are completed in a single day, including removal of the old door, prep of the rough opening, installation of the new pre-hung system, weatherstripping, hardware, and finish trim.
Why replace the whole front door system instead of just the slab?+
The slab, frame, threshold, weatherstripping, sweep, hinges, and hardware are engineered to work together. Replacing the complete pre-hung system gives a much better seal, alignment, and security than swapping only the slab onto an aged frame.
What warranty comes with a Therma-Tru front door project from AMG Doors & Windows?+
Every Berkeley front door project we install carries the manufacturer's product and finish warranty plus AMG Doors & Windows' 15-year workmanship warranty on the installation itself.
Is AMG Doors & Windows licensed for front door work in Berkeley and Alameda County?+
Yes — AMG Doors & Windows is a licensed, insured and bonded California contractor (CSLB #1001536) installing front door throughout Berkeley, Alameda County, and the greater Bay Area.
