Energy Pro handles door replacement in Lee's Summit, MO for homeowners dealing with a front door that sticks in August, frosts over in January, or shows daylight at the corner of the frame. We have installed exterior doors since 2003, and every door is measured for your specific opening, ordered to spec, and installed by our own crew.
Why Exterior Door Replacement Comes Up So Often Here
The median Lee’s Summit home was built in 1995, and 53.4% of the city’s houses went up between 1970 and 1999. A lot of front doors, back doors, and patio sliders here are original units now 25 to 35 years old.
What we find on them:
- Rotted bottom rails and sills on wood doors, usually where a shallow porch lets rain splash back
- Steel doors that bow in deep cold, then frost on the inside face
- Faded finishes on west and south-facing entries
- Weatherstripping compressed flat, so the door latches but no longer seals
- Patio sliders that drag, common on walk-out decks in the lake neighborhoods
Single-digit January mornings to low-90s July afternoons is what works frames loose and breaks seals.
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.

Custom Exterior Doors Matched to Your Neighborhood
The right door changes by where you live.
Historic core and the Northeast Green and 1st Streets district. Bungalow, Craftsman, and Prairie School homes from the 1890s to the 1940s. Panel layout, glass proportion, and trim profile matter most. Fiberglass with a stainable woodgrain gives the period look without repainting a wood slab.
Established 1970s to 1990s subdivisions. Bordner Estates, Foxwood, Chapel Ridge, Winterset Park. Most have standard 36-inch openings, so a straight swap is simple. Cost climbs with sidelites or a wider opening.
Lake neighborhoods. Raintree Lake, Lakewood, Lake Lee’s Summit, Woodland Shores. Back doors and patio doors take the most weather, so glass package and hardware finish matter more.
Newer builds east and south. New Longview, Hook Farms, Woodside Ridge, and the developments off I-470 and M-291. Black hardware, flush-glazed sidelites, and 8-foot slabs are the common requests.
Door Brands We Install as an Independent Door Company
We are an independent door company, not a single-brand dealer. We spec the door to your opening and your budget instead of steering you toward the one line we happen to stock.
Waudena
Our Waudena door systems sit in the upper mid-range and carry features usually found in higher-priced systems. The steel doors use 22-gauge steel with a full steel-edge perimeter for a Grade 40 security rating. Hinges adjust in three dimensions, which matters when a frame shifts with the seasons. Timbergrain fiberglass comes in cherry, mahogany, fir, oak, and knotty alder.
ProVia
ProVia entry doors come in three fiberglass lines, Embarq, Signet, and Heritage, all Energy Star certified with a polyurethane core and ComforTech warm-edge glazing. Legacy steel doors use 20-gauge steel in custom sizes up to eight feet. Finishes are applied at the factory and arrive ready to install, with 16 paint colors and 14 woodgrain options. ProVia also carries 54 storm door configurations.
Albany
Albany doors are made in the USA and are a strong value pick when you want a quality entry system without the top-tier price.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors are worth replacing on their own. A worn slider is often the single largest air leak in a Lee’s Summit home, bigger than any window.
Fiberglass or Steel?
Steel gives you maximum strength and security at a lower price. Fiberglass holds up better to sun and moisture, mimics real wood convincingly, and can be repainted or restained later. Most Lee’s Summit front entries we replace end up being fiberglass. Side and service doors are often steel.
Permits, HOA Rules, and Historic Review in Lee's Summit
This is where front door replacement projects go sideways, so settle it before anything is ordered.
Permits. A door swap in the existing opening counts as repair and maintenance. Widening an opening, cutting a new one, or converting a window into a patio door needs a permit through Lee’s Summit Development Services. We file it.
Contractor licensing. The city requires every contractor working in Lee’s Summit to hold a current City contractor license. Ask anyone bidding your job to show you theirs.
Downtown and historic areas. The downtown design standards and Exterior Renovation Permit cover commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family properties in the Downtown Core, and exempt repair and maintenance of existing single- and two-family homes. If you own near the historic core, we confirm your address with the city first.
HOA approval. Raintree Lake, Lakewood, Hawthorn, Winterset Park, and others have guidelines on door color and glass style. We get approval before ordering, not after your door arrives.
Tempered glass. Sidelites and glass within a set distance of a door edge must be tempered under code. We spec it that way from the start.

Lee's Summit Door Replacement FAQs
Usually not. Replacing a door in its existing opening is treated as repair and maintenance. A permit is required if you widen the opening, cut a new one, or convert a window into a patio door, and we handle that filing.
A quality solid front door with no glass starts around $4,500 installed, and glass, sidelights, or a transom push it higher from there. A standard six-foot sliding patio door typically runs $4,000 to $6,000. See our full breakdowns on front door replacement cost and sliding glass door cost.
Repair usually makes sense for a stuck latch, a failed strike plate, or worn weatherstripping. If the slab is warped, the bottom rail has rotted, or the frame is out of square, replacement costs less over time than repeated fixes.
Yes, if the frame, jamb, and threshold are still sound and square. On Lee’s Summit homes from the 1970s and 1980s, we often find frame rot at the sill, and a full system replacement is the better call in those cases.
Often yes. Raintree Lake, Lakewood, Hawthorn, and several other associations have guidelines on exterior color and glass style. We submit for approval before ordering so your door is not held up.
Most single entry doors are installed in one day. Manufacturing lead time is typically three to six weeks, since every door is built to your measurements.
Sometimes, but not always. A full-view storm door over a dark fiberglass or steel entry can trap significant heat, and many manufacturers limit finish warranty coverage in that setup. We will tell you if your color and exposure make it a bad idea.
Frequently, yes. Hail and wind-driven debris are covered events under most policies, and both are common in eastern Jackson County. Check your specific policy, and we can walk through it at your consultation.
