We replace front entry doors with ProVia and Therma-Tru systems that fit precisely, perform reliably in Northeast weather, and enhance your home’s appearance.

ProVia and Therma-Tru Entry Doors
We stock and install the full product lines of ProVia and Therma-Tru. Each manufacturer provides a range of styles, materials, and configurations that meet the demands of Philadelphia-area homes.
ProVia Entry Doors
ProVia entry doors are available in both fiberglass and steel with a wide selection of panels, glass options, and hardware. Their doors are engineered for Northeast conditions, whether you prefer a traditional raised-panel design or an architectural-style door.
Therma-Tru Entry Doors
Therma-Tru specializes in fiberglass doors with a broad range of styles, from classic woodgrain to contemporary smooth profiles. Their doors accept many glass inserts and finish options, making them ideal for older homes where character matters.
Fiberglass and Steel Doors: Choosing the Right Fit for Your Home
Fiberglass doors are a popular choice for Philadelphia homes because they hold up well against warping, rotting, and harsh weather. They can be stained to replicate the look of real wood and maintain their finish year after year with very little upkeep. For homeowners who want a traditional, low-maintenance look, fiberglass offers both style and practicality.
Steel doors focus on strength and security. They resist forced entry and perform well in extreme weather. Modern finishes give steel doors a polished, attractive appearance, so you don’t have to compromise on style for durability.
The right door depends on your home, your priorities, and how your family uses the entry. We help you weigh these factors so you can choose the door that fits both your lifestyle and your home’s character.
Entry Door Style Options and Customization
Once you’ve chosen fiberglass or steel, you have several options to customize how your door looks and functions:
Panel Style: Choose raised panel, flat panel, craftsman, or flush designs to complement your home’s architecture.
Glass Inserts: Add light while maintaining privacy with decorative, clear, or specialty glass in various shapes and placements.
Sidelites and Transoms: Frame your door with fixed glass panels to increase brightness and enhance curb appeal.
Hardware Finishes: Handlesets, locksets, and hinges come in finishes that coordinate with your door’s design.
Paint and Stain Options: Fiberglass can be stained for a wood-like appearance, and both fiberglass and steel doors can be painted to match your home’s style.
Older Philadelphia-area homes may have openings and trim that influence which options work best. We’ll measure each opening and evaluate the frame condition to ensure your new door fits perfectly and performs reliably.

Reviews
We used Five Star Contractors initially for siding replacement and stucco remediation. Because of their excellent work we had them return a year later to replace our aging roof and install new gutters and downspouts. The management team and crews on both jobs were professional, polite and respectful of our property and our neighbors. As their name says... their work is 5 Stars!
Five Star remediated our failing stucco and repaired extensive hidden damage. They also replaced all doors and windows. Their crews were professional, friendly and respectful. We were impressed with their ability to replace all the windows and doors without creating a mess, and they replaced all trim and plantation shutters seamlessly. Robert was frequently on site, and he offered excellent design suggestions throughout the project. We recommend Five Star without reservations. You will not be disappointed.
We chose five star and are so glad we did! When we purchased a home that needed a full stucco remediation we interviewed and obtained quotes from many companies. Five Stars quality of work and professionalism really stood out among the rest. They were easy to work with, attentive to detail, responsive and fully delivered going above and beyond. They are not the cheapest company but you get what you pay for, and we got the best!
We had a great experience with Five Star Contractors when they fully replaced our siding. Discovering that our house needed major repairs was a stressful experience, but from our first meeting with Matt and Michal we felt at ease. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative, always taking the time to answer our questions thoroughly. What really stood out was how they walked us through the science behind proper construction techniques, helping us understand not just what they were doing, but why it mattered. Throughout the process we had multiple roadblocks on our end, and they were very understanding and flexible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, transparent, and knowledgeable professionals.
Best contractor in the area. Attention to detail and very trustworthy. They do the job right and stand behind all their work. The crew works hard and their goal is to make you happy, whatever your needs are. Five Star will at least meet, but probably exceed your expectations as they have for me. They are neat and clean up the site every night before they leave, even using a magnet to find loose nails because I have 4 dogs. I couldn’t be happier with them and I am not easy to please. Michal, thank you for all you do.
Five star did an excellent job with our stucco remediation. The quality of the work is exceptional. Michael and Robert are very involved with the day to day operation and came up with excellent ideas to make our vision become reality. Every person on the team was a pleasure to work with. They were on time, respectful and professional . In particular Jesse is absolutely exceptional in everything he does. We wholeheartedly recommend Five Star!
