Entry Door & Patio Door Replacement in Crystal Lake, IL
Your entry door is the first thing visitors see and the last barrier between your family and McHenry County weather. A solid, well-sealed door keeps the cold out in January, the heat out in July, and unwanted guests out year-round. A drafty, warped, or dented door does none of those things — and in a county where winter temperatures drop to 15°F and summer humidity pushes moisture into every gap, a failing door doesn’t just feel cold. It drives up heating bills, lets moisture into the frame, and compromises the security of your home.
IHC installs entry doors from two trusted manufacturers. ProVia is our premium line — American-made fiberglass and steel doors with endless customization options: decorative glass designs, hardware finishes, custom colors, and sidelights built to your exact specifications. ProVia’s fiberglass entry doors feature AccuGrain technology that replicates real wood grain so accurately you have to touch it to tell the difference. Albany Door Company is our mid-range line — custom-built in Bedford Park, Illinois, just 60 miles from Crystal Lake. Steel and fiberglass construction, R-15.2 insulation (one of the highest in the industry), and the ability to build to non-standard sizes without reframing your opening.
We also install patio doors — both sliding and hinged French styles — from Andersen and our vinyl lines. A patio door replacement is often the single biggest energy upgrade you can make in a home, because those large glass panels transfer more heat than any window in the house. IHC handles the full replacement: frame, hardware, weatherstripping, threshold, and interior/exterior trim. One crew, one project, one warranty.
Entry Doors & Patio Doors for Every Home

ProVia Entry Doors (Premium)
American-made in Sugarcreek, Ohio. ProVia offers fiberglass (Signet and Embarq lines) and steel entry doors with the most realistic woodgrain textures in the industry. AccuGrain technology on fiberglass models replicates real wood so closely it fools everyone who walks up to it. Endless customization: decorative glass inserts, sidelights, transoms, 12+ hardware finishes, and virtually unlimited color options.

Built in Bedford Park, Illinois — 60 miles from Crystal Lake. Albany Door Company manufactures steel and fiberglass entry doors to your exact specifications: custom sizes, custom colors, and configurations that national brands don’t offer. R-15.2 polyurethane foam insulation — one of the highest ratings in the industry.
Factory pre-finishing in any color or stain, applied in controlled conditions for a flawless result. Sidelights and transoms are built as integrated units that match exactly. Great value without sacrificing quality or energy efficiency.

Patio Doors (Sliding)
Wide glass panels that flood your living space with natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. Available in Andersen Fibrex composite and vinyl options with Low-E glass and argon gas fill. Smooth-gliding tracks rated for 500,000+ cycles. Multi-point keyed locking systems for security. Available in 2-panel and 3-panel configurations.
Sliding patio doors are the most popular choice for McHenry County homes with deck access — they don’t swing into the room, so furniture placement is flexible and foot traffic flows naturally.
✓ Energy Star Certified
Patio Doors (Hinged / French)
Traditional swing-open design with the charm of divided-light glass panels. Available from Andersen and ProVia in single or double configurations. Decorative glass options, between-the-glass blinds, and hardware finishes that match your entry door. French patio doors add architectural character that sliding doors can’t replicate.
Hinged patio doors work best when you have clearance for the swing — typically on covered patios, sunrooms, and three-season rooms. Multi-point locking hardware provides the same security as a modern entry door.

Four Reasons to Replace Your Entry or Patio Door
Security
Modern entry doors feature multi-point locking systems that engage at three or more points along the frame — not just the single deadbolt your 1990s door relies on. ProVia steel doors meet the highest forced-entry resistance ratings in the industry. If your current door has a loose frame, a worn strike plate, or a lock that doesn’t fully engage, your home is less secure than it should be.
Energy Efficiency
An old door with failed weatherstripping and a warped frame leaks air constantly. In McHenry County’s winters, that air infiltration can account for 10–15% of your heating loss. ProVia and Albany doors use polyurethane foam core insulation (R-15.2 for Albany) and compression weatherstripping that creates an airtight seal. You’ll feel the difference the first cold night after installation.
Curb Appeal
Your entry door is the focal point of your home’s front elevation. It’s the first thing visitors see, the background of every family photo on the front porch, and the feature that sets the tone for the entire house. A faded, dented, or outdated door drags down the appearance of everything around it. A new ProVia or Albany door with decorative glass and modern hardware transforms the entire front of your home.
Weather Resistance
McHenry County’s freeze-thaw cycles warp wood doors, crack old weatherstripping, and push moisture into the threshold. Homes along the Fox River corridor and near Crystal Lake face higher humidity that accelerates frame rot. Modern fiberglass and steel doors are dimensionally stable across the full temperature range — they won’t swell in August heat or contract in January cold. The seal stays tight year-round.

Entry Door & Patio Door FAQs
What is the difference between ProVia and Albany doors?
ProVia is IHC’s premium door brand — Amish-crafted in Ohio with the widest customization options in the industry: AccuGrain fiberglass, decorative glass, 12+ hardware finishes, and unlimited color matching. Albany Door Company is our mid-range option — custom-built in Bedford Park, Illinois with R-15.2 insulation, custom sizing, and factory pre-finishing. Both brands offer fiberglass and steel construction. ProVia delivers maximum design flexibility; Albany delivers excellent value with the advantage of being manufactured locally.
How long does door installation take?
A single entry door replacement typically takes 4–6 hours, including removal of the old door, inspection and repair of the rough opening, installation of the new unit, weatherstripping, hardware, and interior/exterior trim work. Patio door installations take 4–8 hours depending on the configuration. Your home stays secure throughout — we complete the full installation in a single visit. If you’re replacing an entry door and patio door together, both are typically done in one day.
Can you replace just the door without replacing the frame?
It depends on the condition of the existing frame. If the frame is structurally sound with no rot, warping, or moisture damage, a slab-only replacement is possible. However, most McHenry County homes with doors old enough to need replacement also have frame issues — especially at the threshold and hinge side where moisture collects. We inspect the frame during our free estimate and recommend the best approach. A full-unit replacement (door + frame) provides the tightest seal and longest service life.
Do you install storm doors?
Yes. IHC installs ProVia storm doors including the Deluxe and Spectrum series. Storm doors add an extra layer of weather protection and energy insulation in front of your entry door. They also protect your entry door’s finish from direct exposure to rain, snow, and UV light — extending the life of the entry door itself. Full-view glass options with retractable screens let you enjoy airflow in summer while maintaining full protection in winter.
What door styles are popular in McHenry County?
Craftsman-style fiberglass doors with clear or decorative glass are the most popular choice in McHenry County right now, especially in Crystal Lake subdivisions and the newer neighborhoods in Huntley and Algonquin. Traditional 6-panel steel doors remain popular for Colonial and Ranch homes in older areas like Four Colonies and Country Club Estates. For patio doors, white or almond sliding doors are the most requested, followed by French-style hinged doors for homes with covered patios or three-season rooms.
How much do entry doors cost in Crystal Lake, IL?
Entry door replacement in the Crystal Lake and McHenry County area typically runs $2,500 to $8,000+ installed, depending on the brand, material, and customization. Albany steel entry doors start around $2,500 installed. ProVia fiberglass entry doors with decorative glass and custom hardware typically run $4,000 to $8,000+. Patio door replacements (sliding or French) run $3,000 to $7,000 depending on the size and product line. IHC provides free in-home estimates with pricing for both brands.
