Storm Door Installation in Madison and South Central Wisconsin
Add Another Layer of Protection to Your Entry
A storm door does more than sit in front of your entry door. It helps protect the main door from wind, rain, snow, and everyday exposure while giving you options for natural light and ventilation during milder weather.
Frey Construction has been providing homeowners throughout the Madison area and South Central Wisconsin with durable storm doors since 1995. Whether you're adding a storm door to an existing entrance or replacing one that no longer fits or operates properly, we'll help you choose an option that works with your home and install it correctly.
Like all of our exterior projects, storm door installation starts with a free proposal so you can understand the scope and cost before moving forward.
Choosing the Right Storm Door for Your Home
Storm doors are available in different configurations depending on how much glass, ventilation, and privacy you want. The right choice comes down to the entrance itself and how you use it throughout the year.
Common options include:
Full-View Storm Doors: More glass creates an open appearance and allows more natural light through the entry
Ventilating Storm Doors: Screen and glass configurations let you bring fresh air through the doorway during warmer weather
Partial-View Designs: A combination of glass and solid door sections provides a balance of visibility and coverage
Different Hardware and Finish Options: Handles, finishes, and other details can be coordinated with the home's existing exterior
Wisconsin weather also makes proper fit especially important. A storm door that doesn’t sit square in the opening or seal correctly can be difficult to operate and may not provide the protection you expected.

How We Help You Find the Right Storm Door
No two homes are alike, so storm door selection should never be one-size-fits-all. Frey Construction takes a client-focused approach:
In-Person Door Assessment
We visit your home to evaluate your entryway’s style, sizing, and exposure to Wisconsin’s changing weather.
Product Selection & Custom-Fit Planning
Based on our findings, we recommend ProVia storm doors for durability, security, and energy efficiency. If your home has older construction or distinctive details, like many in Maple Bluff or Nakoma, we provide custom sizing and finish options for a clean, built-in look.
Professional Installation & Final Review
Once you choose the right door, our skilled installers handle the full installation, leaving you with a storm door that delivers immediate comfort and long-term protection.
When Is It Time to Replace a Storm Door?
Storm doors take plenty of abuse over the years. Seasonal temperature changes, moisture, wind, and daily use can gradually affect the frame, glass, hardware, and overall fit.
It may be time to consider replacement if you notice:
A door that drags, sticks, or no longer closes properly
Gaps around the edges when the door is latched
Loose, damaged, or repeatedly failing hardware
Cracked or damaged glass
Visible deterioration around the frame or sill
A door that has become difficult to keep aligned
Sometimes the problem extends beyond the storm door itself. During our proposal visit, we'll look at the opening and surrounding area so the project can account for any additional work needed for a proper installation.
What Affects the Cost of Storm Door Installation?
There is no single price that applies to every storm door project. The cost depends on the door you choose and the condition of the existing opening.
Factors may include:
Door Style: Different glass, screen, and design configurations affect product cost
Existing Opening: An opening that is square and in good condition is different from one that requires additional preparation
Door Size: Nonstandard openings may require different products or additional work
Installation Details: Existing hardware, trim, and surrounding materials can influence the overall scope
We provide a free written proposal for exterior projects, so you have a clear understanding of the work before deciding whether to move forward.

Common Questions About Storm Door Installation

We recently had our home remodeled by the team at Frey Construction. The entire Frey team was professional, experienced, courteous and patient. The final result was exactly how we had envisioned. If we have other home remodeling projects in the future, we would certainly not hesitate to call Frey Construction again.
I am very pleased with Frey Construction. They replaced my roof and gutters. The workers were fast and efficient, and they were always courteous and professional. The office staff was patient and helpful and I appreciated all the time they spent to answer my questions. The quality of work is exceptional and they exceeded my expectations with the clean up afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Frey has done a lot of work for us and the quality is always great. My favorite thing about them is that they are extremely responsive and professional with great customer service. We've previously worked with them on siding and gutters. Most recently I had some windows replaced. They were very helpful and assisted in removing a wall-mounted shelf, which I consider an above and beyond service.
