Door Replacement in Leawood, KS
- Serving Johnson County homes since 2003
- Fiberglass, steel, and custom exterior doors
- 10-year service warranty on installation
Energy Pro handles door replacement in Leawood, KS for homes on both sides of I-435, from the mid-century ranches off Mission Road to the newer builds along the 135th Street corridor. Leawood writes its own door requirements into the city building code, and most neighborhoods add design review on top of that.
Leawood Has Its Own Code Rules for Exterior Doors
Leawood amends the building code with security standards for every exterior swinging door, including the one from the attached garage:
- Wood: solid core, at least 1 3/4 inches thick
- Steel: 24 gauge minimum
- Fiberglass: 1/16 inch skin with reinforcement behind the deadbolt
- Hinges: two 3-inch screws per hinge, biting at least 1 inch into the wall structure
- Sliding doors: installed so panels cannot be lifted out from outside
The hinge rule is where fast installs fail. A stock slab hung on the screws that came in the box does not meet it, and it sags within a season or two.
Contractors also have to be licensed with both the City of Leawood and Johnson County. We hold both, and we handle permitting through Leawood Codes Administration when your scope calls for it.
We recently had a sliding patio door, 2 exterior doors and our bay window replaced. Luke, Chris and Rosie did a great job on the work that was done. They kept me informed on progress and issues as they arose. And the finished products look great. I would definitely work with Energy Pro again.

Old Leawood and South Leawood Are Two Different Door Jobs
The city splits cleanly, and so does the work.
North of I-435 (66206). The median home here dates to about 1960. Brick ranches and colonials with sixty years of settling behind them, so openings are rarely square or standard. Jambs and thresholds are often soft before anyone notices. These entries usually need custom sizing and wood rot repair first.
South of I-435 (66209, 66211, 66224). Hallbrook, Ironhorse, Camden Woods, Pavilions of Leawood, Wilshire by the Lake. Bigger entries with 8-foot slabs, sidelights, transoms, and double doors have to match the elevation and clear architectural review.
We walk the opening before we quote. Nobody gets a number over the phone based on a guess about their house.
Exterior Door Replacement Options for Leawood Homes
We are an independent dealer, so we source the door that fits your home and budget instead of pushing one brand.
Our upper mid-range line. Steel-edge slabs carry a Grade 40 security rating, the top result in the industry’s forced entry test, and the foam core runs about five times more efficiently than a wood door. Adjustable hinges and an auto-adjusting sill hold the seal as the house moves. Timbergrain fiberglass comes in five wood species or 45 paint colors, most with a limited lifetime warranty.
Fiberglass in the Embarq, Signet, and Heritage lines, plus 20-gauge Legacy steel, in custom sizes up to eight feet. Finishes are applied and oven-cured at the factory, so the color stays even and holds up on a west-facing Leawood entry that takes full afternoon sun. ProVia storm doors are worth a look on those same entries.
For openings where no catalog size will fit, and for homeowners updating a full front elevation. Albany builds to your measurements, with the glass, hardware, and finish specified up front.
Common on Leawood walkouts and deck entries. Old aluminum sliders drag, fog, and leak air at the interlock. New units run smoother and seal properly, and we install them to meet the city’s anti-lift requirement.
HOA Approval Comes Before the Install
In most of Leawood, the city permit is only half the paperwork.
- Leawood Estates requires Architectural Review Committee approval for any exterior change to the property
- Leawood Homes Association reviews remodels on the historic north side to protect the neighborhood’s appearance
- Newer south-side associations commonly review slab color, glass style, hardware finish, and storm doors
- A few older streets in Old Leawood have no association at all
Association approval is separate from the city permit, and starting without it can stop your project cold. We prepare the product and finish details your committee needs, so your start date holds.
Doors Built for a 100-Degree Annual Swing
Leawood goes from single-digit January mornings to upper-90s July afternoons, with heavy humidity in between. Doors and framing move with it. You already know the symptoms:
- The door sticks and drags in August
- You can see daylight at the bottom corner in January
- The deadbolt stops lining up with the strike
- The entry hallway is noticeably colder than the rest of the house
The fix is a door system built to absorb that movement. Three-dimensional adjustable hinges, a spring-loaded or auto-adjusting sill, a foam core, and proper weatherstripping keep the seal tight through both extremes. Pair a new entry with replacement windows in Leawood, and you close off the two biggest air-loss points in most homes here.

What Front Door Replacement Costs in Leawood

- Material and series, from steel through custom fiberglass
- Decorative or privacy glass
- Sidelights and transoms, which are common on south Leawood elevations

Our Door Installation Process
STEP 1
In-Home Consultation
Free and no obligation. We review your current door, check the jamb and threshold for rot, and recommend an option that fits your home, your neighborhood's review standards, and your budget.
STEP 2
Measure and Order
Precise measurements, which matter because Old Leawood openings are rarely a standard size. We finalize your selections, prepare what your HOA committee needs, then submit for manufacturing.
STEP 3
Install and Clean Up
We install to Leawood's code, including the hinge and framing requirements a stock install misses. Then we confirm alignment, sealing, and operation, and clean up.
STEP 4
Long-Term Performance
Your door is built for the swing between Leawood winters and summers. With our 10-year service warranty, we come back and adjust if the seal or latch needs tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Leawood requires permits for alterations and repairs, and door projects are reviewed by scope through Code Administration. We confirm what your project needs before work starts and pull the permit when one applies.
In most Leawood neighborhoods, yes. Associations such as Leawood Estates require review of any exterior change, including door style, color, and glass, and that approval is separate from the city permit.
A quality solid entry door starts near $4,500 installed. Sidelights, transoms, decorative glass, and multi-point hardware push the total up from there, and older openings needing jamb or threshold repair add to it.
Yes, if the frame is square, solid, and free of rot. In older Leawood homes, the jamb and threshold are usually the weak point, so we inspect them before recommending a slab-only replacement.
Steel gives you the highest forced-entry rating at a lower price. Fiberglass handles the seasonal temperature swing better, will not dent, and can be finished to look like stained wood, which is why most Leawood entries go that route.
A standard entry door is usually a one-day install. Custom sizes, double doors, and openings that need frame repair can run into a second day, and manufacturing lead time before installation is typically several weeks.
Yes. Entry door replacement is consistently one of the strongest exterior projects for return on investment, and in a market where the median home value sits around $650,000, a dated or mismatched entry stands out against the neighbors.
