Storm Door Installation: Professional Service

---

The Andersen 3000 series storm door represents the perfect blend of durability, energy efficiency, and elegant design for Willoughby homeowners. Whether you're looking to enhance your home's curb appeal, improve energy efficiency, or add an extra layer of security, professional installation of your 3000 series Andersen storm door ensures optimal performance and longevity.

The Andersen 3000 series features a robust aluminum frame construction with reinforced corners that resist warping and sagging over time. The door's multi-point locking system provides enhanced security, while the adjustable bottom expander ensures a perfect seal against weather elements.

Installing a 3000 series Andersen storm door can significantly reduce energy costs by creating an insulating air barrier between your main entrance and the outdoors. The Low-E glass options reflect heat in summer and retain warmth in our Lake County winters, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 15%.

Choose from several glass configurations:

• Full-view glass for maximum light transmission
• Self-storing options with retractable screens
• Seasonal vent designs for optimal airflow control
• Decorative glass panels to match your home's architecture

Our technicians begin every 3000 series installation with a thorough assessment of your door frame, measuring for proper fit and identifying any structural issues that need addressing before installation.

• Remove existing storm door (if applicable)
• Check door frame for square and plumb alignment
• Install weatherstrip channels and adjust frame as needed
• Apply appropriate sealants to prevent water infiltration

• Mount heavy-duty hinges with reinforcement screws
• Install multi-point locking mechanism
• Attach hydraulic door closer with proper tension adjustment
