Door Replacement in West Caldwell, NJ
The sidelight and transom configuration around an entry door on a West Caldwell home is part of the replacement scope when the entire entry system is failing. We replace sidelights and transoms alongside the door unit when the frame is being replaced — because leaving original sidelights in a new frame creates the same air and water infiltration issues the new door was meant to solve.

Door Questions — West Caldwell, NJ
If yours isn’t here, call us. We’ll give you a real answer.
Door frame rot is one of the most common issues we find on West Caldwell homes and the cause is almost always the same. Frame rot almost always comes from one of two sources: a failed sill pan that lets water pool under the threshold, or missing or failed caulking at the sides of the frame where it meets the siding. We install proper sill pan flashing on every door job and caulk all transitions to stop the water entry at the source.
Decorative glass inserts are available in dozens of patterns from clear beveled to frosted to stained glass inspired designs. For privacy without losing light, obscure or reeded glass is popular. For security, impact-resistant laminated glass is available on Provia and Therma-Tru units. We bring sample books to every door estimate so you can see the options in person.
Yes. Storm doors add a second layer of insulation and protection for entries that take direct weather exposure. Andersen Emco and Larson are the brands we use most often in West Caldwell — both are full-view aluminum units with retractable screens. Storm doors are most valuable on north and west-facing entries that take direct weather impact.
