The Portes et Fenêtres Verdun process: from placing the order to installing the door
The exterior door is a key element of any property, in terms of both form and function. But how do you assess the value of a door? It all starts with your initial contact with our team of telephone support specialists, who will take down your information and the details of your project.
They will then forward this information to one of our local representatives, who will contact you to schedule an appointment in order to ascertain your needs and advise you regarding the available options. Throughout the process, we’ll verify whether your municipality requires a permit for replacing a door and if there are any restrictions limiting the types of doors you can choose.
Following the visit, the representative will prepare an estimate that takes the characteristics and constraints of your project into consideration. Once you approve the estimate, one of our technicians will take precise measurements, and we will draft a contract for you to read and sign.
We will then ask you for a deposit to guarantee the reservation of your door so we can begin the production process. A plant manager will initiate a purchase order and prepare a list of all the components that are necessary for manufacturing your door. Your order will then be ready for transfer to the production plant.
Next, the production department will put your order on the schedule. A coordinator will ensure that all of the required materials (units, thermopanes, slabs, etc.) are on hand. The team leader will then send the door through the carving machine to make all of the necessary cuts. Afterwards, if you have requested a custom color or finish, we will send your door to our paint shop.
Our production team will carefully assemble your order, verifying each component to make sure that it complies with our quality standards. Once your door is finished, the team will meticulously pack it and deliver it to your nearest Portes et Fenêtres Verdun location. A representative will contact you to schedule an appointment with one of our expert installation teams.
Our installation team will come to your residence at the agreed time to install your new door. When the work is complete, the installer will collect the final payment from you and transmit all of the relevant details to your nearest Portes et Fenêtres Verdun outlet. If you have any questions regarding your product or the annual maintenance procedures, our post-sales service department is here to help.
Now that you understand all of the necessary steps, as well as the number of people involved from the time you order your new door until we install it, it should be easier for you to calculate its value.

The factors that affect the price of a door
Your front door is the first thing people see when they come to your home, so it must be both functional and attractive. You now have a better understanding of the number of people involved in the design of your front door. However, you should also be aware that the cost could vary considerably, depending on several different factors.
The materials used
The material used in the manufacture of a front door is one of the main factors that influence its cost. The materials most commonly used in front doors are wood, PVC, aluminum and steel.
Wood
The wood doors we offer here at Portes et Fenêtres Verdun are custom designed and made from solid wood. We can use different varieties of wood, including mahogany, eucalyptus and pine. Wood is resilient and durable and provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. It’s generally the most expensive material, but it also offers the greatest range of possibilities for customization.
Steel
Steel front doors also offer a wide variety of options in terms of design and workmanship to adapt to virtually any style of home. Steel front doors are considered one of the most secure types of doors for residential use. Steel is resistant to extreme weather and impacts. As a result, it’s very difficult to smash the door or force it open. All of the front doors available at Portes et Fenêtres Verdun offer you excellent value for your money.
Customization and add-ons
To make your front door unique and to ensure that it harmonizes perfectly with your home, Portes et Fenêtres Verdun offers numerous possibilities for personalization. Certain door models are even available in custom sizes. You can install a fanlight above your door for increased illumination. You can also install sidelights or side panels to give your front door a more imposing appearance. To let in even more natural light while still protecting your privacy, you can add one or more windowpanes to your front door. Obviously, the addition of these different elements can increase the price.
The installation of your front door
The estimate will include the price for installing your exterior door. To prevent any possible problems when it comes to the installation of a new door, we always recommend doing business with professionals. An improperly installed door will lose some of its energy-efficient properties, and the moving parts will be at risk of premature wear.
