Doors Ask an Expert

So many choices, so little experts when it comes to doors. Custom Exteriors was the 2006 Window & Door Dealer of the Year. We were very thrilled as  this was a national award that honored us as #1 window and door dealer in the USA. That honor came true again for us in 2009 as we were awarded the #1 Window & Door Installation Company in the country. You won't hear, "it's not my department" here. Our consultants are all trained experts in wood and fibergalss entry door systems making your research just hat much easier. Our creditials and product selection  make those giant home improvement stores wonder how we do it. We can answer all of your questions because value goes way beyond price and free 90 minute use of a truck. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

What are the advantages of fiberglass entry doors?

The beauty, texture and feel of wood grain is captured by our fiberglass entry doors without the inherent problems of wood. Low maintenance, long warranties and amazing durability in direct sunlight are just a few of the many reasons for fiberglass's rapidly growing popularity.

What entry door manufacturers do you carry?

ThermaTru, Andersen and others (browse our door lines).

Will you install my choice of hardware?

Yes. We can recommend various hardware choices, or you can supply the hardware for us when we come out to do the install.

What type of front/entry doors do you offer?

Fiberglass are most popular and we also have a wide selection of wood doors for both the exterior and interior.

How do you install your doors and how long does it take?

The new doors come pre-hung and unfinished. The old door,sill, threshold and trim is removed and the new door and trim is installed in one day. We will install the hardware, locks and deadbolt. The homeowner takes care of the staining or painting. Stain kits are available for a nominal charge with the ThermaTru doors. All installs conform to local building code regulations, and we adhere to AAMA guidelines.

Where can I see samples of the doors and hardware?

In our Pleasanton showroom, Monday-Saturday (click for directions).

Are "pet-doors" available with your patio doors?

Yes, Anlin has a wonderful "pet ready" sliding door option that can be seen in our Pleasanton showroom. Go to www.halepetdoor.com and see various options. You pay for and order "pet-door" and we'll install it into the "pet-ready" patio door for you. Ask your sales representative for more information!

Do you offer financing?

Yes, we offer a range of financing options to make paying for your window/door project as easy as possible.
