### Patio Entry Door Replacement – Energy Efficient Fiberglass Door Installation

This project in [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Elkridge, Maryland</span>](https://www.allds.com/service-areas), where we completed a full patio entry door replacement using a premium [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">ProVia Fiberglass Door</span>](https://www.provia.com/). The goal was to improve energy efficiency, security, and overall appearance while ensuring a long-lasting, professional installation.  
**Why This Upgrade Matters**

- A properly installed fiberglass patio entry door provides:
- Better thermal insulation and lower energy bills
- Improved home security
- Long-term resistance to rot, warping, and moisture damage
- A noticeable upgrade in curb appeal and interior finish quality

**Hidden** [**Rot Repair**](https://www.allds.com/services/rotted-window-restoration) **(Discovered During Removal)**

During the removal of the existing door, we identified significant hidden rot and water damage in the threshold area, including the sill plate and surrounding framing. This condition required a professional rotted wood repair before proceeding with the new installation to ensure structural integrity and long-term performance.  
All rotted wood components were removed and replaced with new pressure-treated lumber and plywood, with framing reinforced as needed. Proper flashing and waterproofing were installed to create a solid, level, and fully protected base for the new door installation.  
This step is critical to ensure the new door is installed on a stable, dry, and long-lasting foundation, preventing future issues and protecting your investment.
