A drafty entry door, a sticking patio door, or a storm door that's lost its seal are more than inconveniences. They're direct thermal losses in a climate that earns every BTU. Left Coast Exteriors installs ProVia doors built to hold up against Pacific Northwest weather for decades.
ProVia Authorized Dealer
Your entry door is the most visible single component of your home's exterior. It's also one of the most thermally significant. An older steel or wood door with degraded weatherseals contributes meaningfully to air infiltration, that slow, constant exchange of conditioned indoor air for outdoor air that runs up your heating and cooling costs without you ever noticing a single dramatic event. A well-fitted, properly sealed replacement door eliminates that daily thermal penalty.
Beyond energy performance, a new entry door changes how a home presents. Curb appeal matters for long-term resale value, but it also matters every time you pull into your driveway. ProVia's entry door lines (including the Signet and Ascent fiberglass collections) offer a wide range of panel designs, glass insert configurations, and factory-applied color options that hold up to Pacific Northwest sun exposure without peeling, cracking, or requiring refinishing cycles. Fiberglass doors are engineered to resist warping in high-humidity climates like ours in ways that wood cannot.
Patio door replacement delivers similar returns. A sliding patio door that has lost its seal, developed roller wear, or no longer locks securely creates both comfort and security concerns. ProVia's patio door lines are engineered for smooth long-term operation and consistent weathersealing, meaningful qualities for a door that gets used multiple times a day in a climate where rain is the rule, not the exception.
Not every door problem calls for a full replacement. Here's how we evaluate the decision honestly.
ProVia makes doors across three categories (entry, patio, and storm), and their emphasis across all of them is the same: getting the component-level details right so performance doesn't degrade over time. As a ProVia Authorized Dealer, we have access to their full door lineup and install to manufacturer specification on every project.
ProVia's fiberglass entry door collections (including the Signet and Ascent lines) are engineered to hold their appearance and performance over the long term without the maintenance demands of wood. Fiberglass resists denting, warping, and moisture absorption in ways that steel and wood cannot match, making it particularly well-suited to the wet Pacific Northwest climate. ProVia fiberglass doors are available in a wide range of panel styles and glass insert configurations, and can be factory-finished in colors that won't peel or fade the way field-painted wood does. For Clark County homeowners who want the look of a premium entry door without a refinishing cycle every few years, fiberglass is generally the right choice.
ProVia's steel entry door lines, including the Legacy collection, offer a cost-effective path to a tightly sealed, durable entry without the price premium of fiberglass. Steel doors are inherently resistant to warping and can deliver consistent weathersealing over a long service life when properly installed and maintained. They're a strong fit for homeowners who want reliable thermal performance and solid construction at a practical price point. ProVia steel doors are available in a range of configurations and glass insert options, and their Legacy line offers an appealing traditional aesthetic for homes where curb appeal matters but the budget favors steel over fiberglass.
ProVia's patio door lines (including the Aeris and Endure collections) are designed for smooth, long-term operation and consistent weathersealing. A patio door that sees daily use in a wet climate needs hardware and sealing components that don't degrade quickly. ProVia builds these doors with that in mind. ProVia also offers a range of storm doors (including the Spectrum and DuraGuard lines) that are worth considering if your existing entry door is structurally sound but your weathersealing situation needs improvement. A properly installed storm door adds a meaningful secondary barrier between your entry and the weather without requiring a full replacement. We can evaluate whether a storm door makes sense for your situation during the estimate visit.
ProVia's Design Center lets you configure an entry door (panel style, glass insert, hardware finish, and exterior color) and preview the result before committing to anything. Use it to get a clear picture of what you want. Then bring that to us, and we'll handle the rest.
Open ProVia's Design Center and browse their entry, patio, and storm door collections. Choose your panel style, glass insert design, hardware finish, and color. The tool previews how each combination looks together, so you're selecting with confidence, not guessing from a catalog.
Save your configured design or take a screenshot of the options you like. You don't need to create an account or commit to anything. Just capture the door styles that resonated with you before you close the browser. Even a rough shortlist helps the estimate conversation.
Share your design preferences when you request an estimate. We'll confirm what fits your rough opening, clarify any configuration details, and provide a written itemized quote. Once you approve it, we order directly from ProVia and install to their specification, which is what keeps your warranty valid.

As a ProVia Authorized Dealer, we have direct access to their full door lineup and install to their specification, which is what keeps manufacturer warranty coverage intact. Authorization means we've been trained and vetted by the manufacturer, not just buying product off a distributor shelf.
A lot of door problems start in the frame: moisture infiltration, rot, and settlement issues that a new door slab won't fix if the frame itself is compromised. We evaluate the full opening during every estimate and address underlying structural issues as part of the project rather than discovering them after the new door is on order.
We handle permit applications when required, do a clean jobsite throughout installation, and give you an itemized written estimate that reflects the full scope before you sign anything. The price we quote is the price you pay. No mystery add-ons when the invoice arrives.
Door replacement is typically a single-day project. Getting it right requires careful measurement and the right product selection upfront. Here's how we take you from first call to finished installation.
We visit your home to assess your current door and frame condition, take precise measurements of the existing opening, and evaluate whether the rough framing is square and sound. This informs both product selection and whether any framing work is part of the project scope.
Based on your home's style, your preferences for material and glass configuration, and your project budget, we walk you through the ProVia door options that fit your situation. You receive a detailed, itemized written estimate before anything is ordered or agreed to.
Once you approve the estimate, we place the order. ProVia builds doors with a focus on quality control. Lead times vary by product line and configuration. We'll give you a confirmed expected timeline when your order is placed and keep you updated if anything changes.
Our in-house crew handles full removal of the old door and frame, any needed rough framing repairs, and complete installation of the new unit including weatherstripping, threshold, hardware, and trim. We don't use subcontractors. The crew that shows up is Left Coast Exteriors employees.
Before we leave, we test the door's operation, confirm the weatherseal is correct along every edge, and walk through the installation with you. Every detail is checked: latching, locking, threshold, exterior trim, and interior casing, before the job is marked complete.
Most single-door replacements are completed in one day. An entry door with a new frame, sidelites, and interior casing work may take a full day or run into a second day depending on scope. The longer lead item is manufacturing. ProVia builds doors to order, so plan for lead time between order placement and your installation date. We'll confirm the timeline when your order is placed.
For most Pacific Northwest homes, fiberglass is the better long-term choice. Fiberglass won't dent, won't warp in humid conditions, and doesn't need to be repainted on a regular cycle. The wood-grain texture options available in ProVia fiberglass lines are also well-suited to the craftsman and traditional architectural styles common in Clark County and Portland Metro. Steel is a cost-effective and structurally sound option when fiberglass is outside the project budget, it performs well and holds a tight weatherseal when properly installed and maintained. We'll give you an honest assessment of which option fits your home and budget during the estimate.
In most Clark County and Portland Metro jurisdictions, replacing a door in an existing opening without changing its size or structural configuration does not require a permit. Changing the size of the opening, adding a sidelight where one didn't exist, or making structural changes to the rough framing will typically require one. We know the permit requirements for the jurisdictions we work in and will flag any permit needs during your estimate. If a permit is required, we handle the application.
Yes, in many cases. Adding sidelights or a transom requires modifying the rough opening and may require a permit, but it's a project we handle regularly. It's also often the right time to make that upgrade, if you're already replacing the door and disrupting the entry area, adding sidelights during the same visit is more cost-efficient than coming back to do it separately. We'll assess the feasibility during the estimate and include a full scope in the quote if it's something you want to explore.
A storm door installs in front of your existing entry door and provides a secondary barrier. It doesn't replace the primary door. Storm doors can be a good solution when your entry door is structurally sound but your weathersealing situation needs improvement, or when you want a screen option for warm-weather ventilation. If the entry door itself is warped, rotted, or thermally failed, a storm door won't fix the underlying problem. You need the primary door replaced. We'll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your situation during the estimate visit.
Yes. We offer flexible financing through third-party lenders with terms from 12 to 84 months, including 0% intro APR options for qualified buyers. Ask your project consultant for the current available programs when you receive your estimate.
"Our front door was original to our 1998 Vancouver home and had visible daylight around the frame and a draft you could feel from three feet away. Left Coast replaced it with a ProVia fiberglass unit. The difference was immediate and dramatic. The entry is noticeably warmer and the door itself looks like it belongs on a completely different house. The installation was clean and done in a single day."
"I had soft rot at the bottom of my entry door frame that two other contractors missed or didn't mention. Left Coast found it during the estimate, explained exactly what it was and why it needed to be addressed before installing a new door, and included the frame repair in the scope. The final install looks excellent and I appreciated that they didn't just slap a new door over a problem."
"We replaced our back patio door as part of a larger project. The old door had roller wear and didn't latch reliably. It was a security and weather issue. The ProVia unit Left Coast installed operates smoothly and seals correctly. The crew was on time, professional, and left the space cleaner than they found it. Straightforward project done right."
