Project Story
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star PrismaGuard Front Door Replacement in Martinez, CA
This Martinez homeowner was dealing with drafts and daylight showing through the old front door. AMG replaced it with a Therma-Tru Smooth-Star front door featuring a PrismaGuard factory-painted finish backed by a manufacturer finish warranty.
1. Project Overview
The service, brand, and reason for replacement
This Martinez homeowner was dealing with drafts and daylight showing through the old front door. AMG replaced it with a Therma-Tru Smooth-Star front door featuring a PrismaGuard factory-painted finish backed by a manufacturer finish warranty.
2. Homeowner Pain Points
What the homeowner was dealing with
The existing front door was no longer sealing properly. The homeowner could feel drafts and see daylight coming through the old door system, which affected comfort, energy efficiency, and confidence in the entry.
3. AMG Solution
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
AMG installed a Therma-Tru Smooth-Star front door with a PrismaGuard factory-painted finish. The factory-applied finish gives the homeowner a cleaner, more consistent painted look compared to jobsite painting, while the new entry system improves sealing, operation, curb appeal, and long-term performance.
Local Insight
Common Front Door Problems We See in Martinez Homes
Many Martinez 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visible daylight around the frame, drafts near the threshold, sticky locks, misaligned hardware, rotted jambs or trim, outdated curb appeal, poor insulation, and doors that no longer feel secure.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 Martinez homeowners replace aging front entries with complete door systems designed for long-term security, weather sealing, and curb appeal.

Frequently Asked
Questions about this project
How long does a front door replacement take in Martinez, CA?+
Most Martinez 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 Martinez 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 Martinez and Contra Costa County?+
Yes — AMG Doors & Windows is a licensed, insured and bonded California contractor (CSLB #1001536) installing front door throughout Martinez, Contra Costa County, and the greater Bay Area.
