Custom Entry Door Installation for a Townhouse in Marblehead, MA

A Marblehead townhouse needed a non-standard front door. Seaside found a custom ProVia solution and later helped the neighbor with the same door.

The front door on this Marblehead townhouse had been bothering the homeowner for a while. It still opened and closed, but never quite felt right. The frame was old, the size was not standard, and every quick replacement option looked like it would create a new problem somewhere else.

The challenge

An older home that asked for more care

That happens often with older homes in Marblehead, MA. The houses have character, but they also ask for more care. A front door may be a little taller, a little narrower, or slightly out of square from years of settling. For this townhouse, a regular off-the-shelf door was not going to give the homeowner the clean fit he wanted.

How Seaside solved it

A custom door made for the opening

When Seaside Windows and Doors came out, we measured everything carefully and talked through the look the homeowner wanted to keep. Then we worked with our trusted supplier, ProVia, to find a custom entry door solution that could be made for the opening instead of forcing the opening to fit the door.

I thought the odd size was going to make the whole thing difficult. But once the right door was ordered, it felt pretty straightforward.

The result

A cleaner entry, and a referral next door

The new door fit the townhouse, matched the style of the building, and gave the entry a cleaner, tighter feel without making the home look like it had been over-updated.

A neighbor saw the finished door and asked who had done the work. That turned into a second project right next door, with the same ProVia door style installed to match. For homeowners looking for custom front door replacement in Marblehead, MA, that is usually the best kind of referral: someone sees the work every day, likes how it looks, and decides they want the same care for their own home.
