Entry & Exterior Doors in Niagara-on-the-Lake: what to expect

Will someone come out to look at the job in Niagara-on-the-Lake?

My Niagara-on-the-Lake job is tiny. Will anyone take it?
That's exactly what we're for. "No job too small" isn't a slogan we drop on page two โ€” describe the fix, however minor, and you'll get a quote for it.
Steel or fibreglass for a front door?
Both insulate well because the core does the work. Steel costs less but can dent and will show rust if the paint is breached. Fibreglass takes weather better, can convincingly mimic wood grain, and usually carries a longer finish life โ€” you pay for that. On a sheltered porch either is fine; on an exposed south or west face, fibreglass tends to age better.
My door gets frost on the inside in winter. Is that the door's fault?
Sometimes the slab, more often the install. Frost lines around the edges point to air leaking past worn weatherstripping or an unsealed frame gap โ€” fixable without replacement. Frost across the panel or on the glass means the door itself is a poor insulator. A quick look tells us which you have.
