My experience with Dunrite windows was very positive from start to finish. I selected them for two reasons. Obviously price was important but being a Rosie on the House partner was equally important. I’ve used Rosie vetted businesses in the past with total peace of mind. From the first meeting with Tony to the installation with Colin and Matt who did their best to protect our furnishings and keep the intrusion and disruption to a minimum my wife and I were impressed as well as my neighbors who have commented. I would absolutely recommend Dunrite to anyone needing windows and doors!

Colin and Matt were my installers. They arrived on time, were polite, and respectful of my property. I have shutters and they worked carefully around them. Clean up each day was thorough. I am thrilled with the installation and quality of my new windows and door. Jan was the DunRite rep. I worked with for my estimate. He took the time to explain the product, answer all my questions, and give me a timeline. There was no hard sell involved with the estimate. Anytime I called the head office my call was answered without having to jump through hoops. I would recommend DunRite to anyone interested in window replacement.

We used DunRite Windows and doors to complete a window and door project that another company had started. Now that the project is finished we can honestly say that DunRite won in every category: price (comparing same exact product), follow up and follow through, quality control (what arrived was free from damage unlike the previous company), and overall experience. We will use DunRite for any future needs!

Dunrite was a great choice to install our window. Even though we only replaced our large front window, they treated us like we were valued customers. The process from purchase to installation went exactly as planned and we were kept informed even when our window arrived broke from the factory. The window looks great and increased the curb appeal of our house. Job well done.

Replace a patio window & bedroom window with windows that have sound dampening features. They did a professional & clean job. Visited the house, measured & gave quote, sent another tech to ensure measurements are accurate, arrived when they said they would, educated me along the way, including window rail maintenance using pledge lemon spray, NOT WD 40. Cleaned up their mess, & I will now use them for the remainder of my home. Great work!!

I shopped about 20 companies for our whole house window replacement project, and from the sales process with Rick Ritivoy, to working with the office to schedule my project in stages (bathroom windows had to go in first as a shower remodel was contingent on having those in before it could begin) to the actual work being performed, my entire experience was excellent. A lot of companies out there tried the hard sell, which fell flat, but DunRite was happy to work with me over email first and I went went them because of the double lifetime warranty on the windows, and the lifetime labor warranty, on top of having the best price for the types of windows I wanted.Chris, Matt, Jason, and the rest of the crew that did my install were all very professional and accommodating to all requests. They were a pleasure to work with!I’ve had a lot of contractors in and out of my house that last couple months, and DunRite far exceeded all other companies. I would definitely use them again!!!

Absolutely impressed with DunRite from start to finish. We got quotes from many companies who gave us a lot of great information but DunRite was by far the most informative. They weren’t pressuring us at all and spent quite a bit of time with us going over all of our options and answering any questions we had. They actually gave us multiple ballpark quotes on site for different configurations we were considering which helped us choose what was right for us. They weren’t the cheapest quote we got but I still feel we got way more value than we would have with another company. The wait time was not bad considering how backed up the industry is right now, and when it came time for install both of the install teams sent out to install our windows were incredibly professional. They moved and covered items in the area to keep them from getting too dirty or breaking anything, they were quick and respectful of our time and space. The installed windows look fantastic and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.I would absolutely recommend DunRite to anyone looking for window replacements, they are fantastic to work with and I do not think you’ll be disappointed!

We used DunRite about 3 years ago when we had a new sliding door installed; it's been beautiful and functional ever since. Our kids got something jammed in the mechanism recently that called for a service visit from Tyler who was so professional and so kind. The issue proved to be more complex and called for back up from his boss JJ, who was just as professional and kind. They fixed the issue quickly, they were so personable, and made my day with their kind service!

We used Dunrite based on customer high ratings and the company did not disappoint. We had a custom made window and custom made door and frame with a security screen installed the house we just recently purchased.

The installers were efficient and cleaned everything up nicely. Our salesman, Sal, was awesome. He was very accommodating. He answered some questions for me about other windows and doors in my house. He offered my advice on some screen installation. He actually recommended a different type of company to complete the work I wanted done. (just like the movie Miracle on 34th Street). We were not happy with one of the choices we made with the door installation. We thought we would like our choice of framework but did not like the selection once it was up. Even though it was DunRite’s fault, they exchanged the section we were not happy with and did not charge us extra money for their time or the new materials.

I would highly recommend the company.

Phoenix, Arizona Front Entry Doors

Common questions about front entry doors

Like any major home improvement project, hiring the right products and professionals for the job is important. When it comes to entry doors for your home, nothing makes a statement and curb appeal impact like the front door. You’ll want to check the reputation of the companies you are considering, taking a close look at ratings and reviews to make sure they treat their customers well. A lack of ratings, low average, or complaints on resources like Yelp, Google and the Better Business Bureau should be taken seriously.

And speaking of ratings, looking at the energy efficiency ratings of the products you are considering matters, too! If it’s a front door with a large expanse of glass, that has a large impact on the overall energy efficiency. You’ll want to be sure there are ample low-e coatings on the glass to reflect direct and ambient heat. You also want to choose a frame material that’s energy efficient, especially when it’s a metal door. Those conduct heat, so you’ll want features to reduce the conductivity, which prevents heat absorption from traveling inside the home. We’re partial to aluminum-clad wood doors, and fiberglass doors if the budget is under $4,000.

We have a blog article that might be helpful, on how to buy energy efficient windows. Sure, it’s about windows, but most of the information applies to doors. There are also some links to useful door articles below. Check them out!

Like purchasing replacement windows, the most common places to purchase a new front door would be through window and door companies, which are independent dealers, franchises and home improvement stores. The first two might have showrooms and/or provide in-home quotes (we do both), and for home improvement companies, you have a choice of using their partner services for the installation, hiring a handyman or doing the installation yourself.

There are pros and cons to each, which mirror what we’ve outlined in this article on where to buy new windows for your home. It’s basically the same for either windows or doors.

Window and door companies only install products purchased through them. This gives them total control over quality control, and makes them responsible to make things right if the opening is mis-measured, or there are problems related to either the product or the installation.

If you’ve purchased a door through a home improvement store or a thrift store that sells construction supplies, we recommend hiring a handyman to install the door for you. We refer people to Handyman Connection quite a bit, but you’ll want to do your own due diligence to check reputation, pricing and reliability for anyone you hire. The store also may provide installation partners or recommendations.

We urge you not to use anyone who isn’t licensed with the Arizona Board of Contractors, though. It can leave you high and dry if there’s an issue.

Front doors with abundant glass are beautiful, and can make a strong statement. But are they safe?

Absolutely. Not only is the glass much, much thicker and stronger than window glass, statistics show that most burglaries do not happen at the front door of a home. They’re much more likely to be in the back, where they are less likely to be seen. Breaking in through a front door leaves them exposed, and it requires far too much work. Learn more in this blog article we’ve written on the topic.

When a break in does involve a front door, it’s typically someone pushing their way into a home, which has nothing to do with the amount or type of glass in the door, and everything to do with how the door is answered and who you open the door for. To improve safety, we highly recommend installing a video camera doorbell. If the door isn’t opened, they can’t push their way in, right? It’s a smart thing to do.

Yes, DunRite Windows & Doors install single doors, double doors, doors with sidelights and/or transoms, and more. We also have construction expertise if you need a window enlarged to become a doorway, or if you need the size of a door changed. Request a quote today, and we’ll come out to look at your home’s construction, and discuss pricing and options.

The only type of doors we do not install are interior doors, unless it’s part of a larger project.

In terms of materials, fiberglass doors are extremely popular right now, because they are durable and affordable, and aluminum-clad wood doors, which offer the beauty of wood on the interior side of the door, and the energy-efficiency and durability of aluminum on the outside of the door, which reduces maintenance.

When it comes to colors, black doors and those with a bright pop of color are trendy right now. It can really have an impact!

For style, we’re also seeing a trend of pivot doors for both the front door and the patio. They’re lovely, and can go all the way up to ceiling height.

It’s very simple to replace a set of double doors with a single door plus sidelights, or to do the reverse. It’s also very simple to change the size of a door opening, although enlarging it may require the services of a contractor and/or a fairly hefty cost for labor, depending on the home. Not only is the size of the opening a concern, but there may be unexpected costs for moving a light switch or outlet, putting in security wiring, adding a support header or changing the physical structure of the opening, and repairing drywall and/or stucco and painting when the job is complete.

All of these things should be discussed when you are obtaining estimates, along with the pros and cons of the change you are considering. Will it help or hurt curb appeal? Will it change energy efficiency and what you are paying for air conditioning? Does it impact privacy or safety? Will it impact the ability to move large furniture in or out of your home?

For homes in the Metro Phoenix area, we typically recommend fiberglass doors when the budget is under $4,000, and aluminum-clad wood doors when the budget is higher.

Fiberglass is better than steel or aluminum doors, because it won’t dent, scratch or rust, and it provides a natural sounding knock when someone is at the door. It also provides a wider range of styles, glass inserts and colors to customize the look. We don’t recommend a steel door. While it sounds sturdy and impregnable, it’s a thin steel shell over styrofoam that easily dents when you push it open or closed with your foot. They’re less secure than most people think, and require a surprising amount of maintenance to prevent rust and maintain a nice appearance. Fiberglass is sturdier, and it will last longer. It’s also more energy efficient.

We also recommend an aluminum-clad wood door frequently. The look of a stained wood inside the home is lovely, and can enhance the warmth and hominess of the interior. The thin cladding of aluminum on the exterior protects the wood from rain, insects and other environmental hazards with a colored exterior.

Brands of front entry doors that we commonly sell are listed on this page. We also provide custom doors.
