Making choices for every nook and cranny of your new custom home on Long Beach Island can be a daunting task. Many of our homebuyers look forward to the selections process, only to find out it’s not as easy (or fun) as they think it is! And, when it comes to entry doors, the pressure is on. It’s the first thing visitors will see when they approach your home. The entry door is critical to curb appeal. It also needs to be functional for weather, wind, and security. How can something so purposeful be beautiful at the same time? Here’s our advice for selecting the perfect entry door for your custom home on LBI.
The Weather & Longevity: Entry doors can take a beating
As you can imagine, building homes along the New Jersey shore provides a variety of challenges for the right products and materials. Therma-Tru is our preference for every home we build. They have a line of fiberglass entry doors that is high-quality and low maintenance. These doors combine the best features of wood and steel so that our homebuyers don’t have to compromise on beauty or performance. We find Therma-Tru doors to be reliable, as well as durable; however, as you can see from our examples, they are also timeless and beautiful.
Style & Sophistication: Customizing for your home
Every home we build is truly custom. Depending on the needs, tastes, and budget of our homebuyers, there is a choice of style, glass, hardware, and finish for any style home. For a stained finish, we recommend using the Therma-Tru Fiber-Classic Collection. These fiberglass doors provide the look and feel of real Mahogany and Oak with the strength and durability of a fiberglass door. These doors come in different wood tones including Mahogany and Oak. For buyers that like a pop of color on their entry, we recommend the Smooth-Star, which is a ready-to-paint fiberglass door that performs particularly well when painted. Each collection provides a choice of style, with multiple options for glass inlays. With these customizing options, no front door will be exactly the same!

We know they rely on us as their custom home builder on LBI to provide guidance in selecting the best products for their style and budget.

Our on-staff design team guides our homebuyers through the selection process to ensure each of our custom built homes exceeds our homebuyers expectations.
