Storm Door Repair and Replacement
Stop Air Leaks at Your Front Entry
Professional storm door repair and replacement services in Verona, Wisconsin, installed to last.
You notice cold air pushing through your front entry even when the storm door is closed, or you see daylight appearing around the seals where none should exist. Homes in Verona face wind-driven rain and temperature swings that test every seal and frame, and when your storm door no longer performs, you feel it in your heating bills and comfort level. Home MD Property Maintenance & Handyman Services evaluates the condition of your existing door and helps you decide whether repair or full replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
Storm door replacement involves removing the old door and frame, checking the underlying jamb for damage, and installing a new unit with composite frames that resist rot and chipping over time. You choose from multiple styles that match your home's appearance while adding functional value, and every installation includes energy efficient glass or screen options that reduce heat loss during Verona winters. The new seals close tightly against the frame, eliminating the drafts and light gaps that signaled the need for replacement.

What Happens During a Storm Door Installation
The crew arrives at your Verona home with the selected storm door model, removal tools, level, and fasteners sized for your door frame. They take measurements to confirm fit, remove the old door without damaging the surrounding trim, and inspect the jamb for rot or misalignment that would affect the new installation. Any issues with the underlying structure are addressed before the new door goes in, so the unit mounts square and operates smoothly from day one.
After installation, you will notice the door closes without resistance and latches securely, the seals make full contact around the perimeter, and no light shows through when the door is shut. Composite frames mean you will not see paint peeling or wood splitting after a few seasons of weather exposure.
The hardware is adjusted so the closer functions at the right speed, and the lock engages without forcing. If the old door had a screen that rattled or glass inserts that fogged, those problems are gone with the new unit. The work wraps up with a final check of alignment and operation, and debris from the old door is removed from your property before the crew leaves.
You probably have a few questions before scheduling
Homeowners often want to know how long a storm door installation takes, what styles are available, and whether their existing frame will support a new unit without additional work.
How long does a storm door replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in one to two hours, depending on the condition of the existing frame and any adjustments needed for proper fit. You can use the door immediately after installation.
What styles of storm doors are available?
You can choose from full-view glass, ventilating models with retractable screens, and decorative options with glass inserts. Home MD Property Maintenance & Handyman Services helps you select a style that suits your home and your functional needs.
Why use composite frames instead of wood or aluminum?
Composite frames do not rot when exposed to moisture, they resist chipping and cracking through freeze-thaw cycles, and they hold paint or finish longer than traditional materials. This means less maintenance over the life of the door.
What if my door frame is damaged or out of square?
The installation includes an inspection of the jamb and trim, and minor repairs are handled as part of the job. If significant structural work is needed, you will receive a clear explanation and estimate before proceeding.
How do energy efficient storm doors reduce heating costs?
They create an insulating air space between the storm door and your entry door, reduce drafts around the perimeter, and block wind-driven cold from reaching the main door. You lose less heat through the entryway, so your furnace runs less often.
When you see light around your storm door or feel cold air coming through the seals, replacement stops the problem at the source and restores the barrier your front entry is supposed to provide. Home MD Property Maintenance & Handyman Services installs storm doors throughout Verona with composite frames built to handle the weather and energy efficient glass that keeps conditioned air inside where it belongs.
