Nothing updates a home’s first impression faster than the front door. On Summit Ridge Drive in Louisville, a brick home’s original wood entry door had faded and weathered after years of sun and Kentucky humidity. Windows Plus replaced it with a clean, modern fiberglass system — and the before-and-after is a dramatic one.

The Challenge
The home’s original entry door was a dark-stained wood unit with a large oval leaded-glass insert and matching sidelights. It had been a handsome door in its day, but the finish had badly faded and streaked, the wood was showing its age, and the dated styling and worn hardware were pulling down the curb appeal of an otherwise sharp brick facade. The homeowner wanted a brighter, more modern entry that would hold up to the weather without constant refinishing.
What We Installed
Our team measured the opening precisely and installed a new fiberglass entry door in a soft almond finish, with a large three-quarter clear-glass lite, a single raised bottom panel, and two clear sidelights that flood the foyer with natural light. We finished it with sleek matte-black hardware, including a keypad smart lock, and wrapped the surround in fresh matching trim. Fiberglass was the right call here: it resists warping, rot, and fading far better than wood, so this door will keep its looks with almost no maintenance. Every piece was set level, plumb, insulated, and weathersealed by our own factory-trained installers.
The Result
The transformation is night and day. The dark, tired entry is now bright, open, and current, the leaded glass swapped for clean lines that show off the brickwork. Beyond the looks, the homeowner gained a properly sealed, energy-efficient door and modern keyless security — all completed in a single day.
