Therma-Tru Smooth-Star Granite Front Door in Novato, CA

AMG Doors & Windows completed this front door replacement for a homeowner in Novato, California.

The original entry featured an older painted wood door with six raised panels and no door glass. Its faded green exterior finish showed substantial weathering and discoloration, while the interior surface also appeared worn and stained.

The homeowner selected a Therma-Tru fiberglass entry doors Smooth-Star replacement to create a cleaner, more coordinated entrance and introduce natural light through a semicircle glass insert.

The completed entry uses a Granite finish across the exterior door, interior door surface, and surrounding trim. This creates one unified appearance rather than treating the door and frame as separate visual elements.

The home's original entry used a painted wood door with six raised panels.

Years of exterior exposure had left the green painted surface faded, streaked, and visibly worn. The lower panels showed substantial discoloration, and the door no longer provided the clean appearance the homeowner wanted at the front of the home.

Inside, the off-white painted surface also showed age, staining, and wear.

Because the existing door contained no glass, the entrance also missed the opportunity to introduce daylight through the upper portion of the slab.

AMG Doors & Windows replaced the original wood door with a Therma-Tru Smooth-Star fiberglass entry as part of our professional front door replacement service.

The completed door includes four raised rectangular panels and semicircle glass above. The glass brings daylight into the entrance while retaining substantial solid-door surface below.

The Granite finish carries across the exterior door, interior surface, and coordinated trim, creating a unified appearance throughout the opening.

The smooth fiberglass surface supports the painted design selected by the homeowner while preserving a traditional panel layout.

Therma-Tru Smooth-Star is a smooth-surface fiberglass entry-door collection designed for a painted appearance.

For this Novato project, the collection supported the homeowner's goal of replacing the aging painted wood entry with a clean and coordinated finished door.

The smooth surface works with the traditional raised-panel layout while allowing the Granite color to remain the dominant design element.

The original six-panel wood door contained no glass.

The replacement Smooth-Star door introduces a semicircle glass insert above the raised panels, allowing daylight to enter the interior entrance.

The curved glass creates a softer architectural detail while maintaining privacy through the substantial solid-door area below.

The completed Therma-Tru Smooth-Star entry gives this Novato home a cleaner and more coordinated front entrance.

The weathered green wood door has been replaced with a Granite fiberglass entry featuring semicircle glass and four raised panels.

The coordinated interior, exterior, and trim finishes unify the complete opening, while the new glass introduces natural light that was absent from the original solid-panel door.

The before-and-after photographs show the full transformation from a heavily worn painted entry to a finished fiberglass door system.
