If you’re thinking about replacing a front door, storm door, or patio door, you’re probably wondering the same thing most
homeowners ask us:
How much is this actually going to cost?
Let’s put some numbers on it.
In the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, a professionally installed exterior door can range from under $1,600 for some straightforward storm-door projects to $15,000 or more for a premium entry system with sidelites, decorative glass and upgraded hardware. Large or highly customized patio and entry systems can go considerably higher.
That’s a huge range, so let’s break it down into numbers that are actually useful.
Quick 2026 Twin Cities Door Cost Guide
Storm doors: approximately $1,500–$2,200+ installed
Steel entry doors: approximately $2,800–$8,500+ installed
Premium fiberglass entry doors: approximately $5,000–$18,000+ installed
Sliding patio doors: approximately $3,500–$7,500+ installed
French/hinged patio doors: approximately $5,000–$14,000+ installed
Large custom entry or patio systems: $10,000–$20,000+ isn’t unusual.
These are general 2026 Twin Cities planning ranges, not quotes from Window Outfitters. Your actual price will depend on the product, size, glass, hardware, condition of the opening and installation requirements.
ProVia is one of the manufacturers we work with extensively at Window Outfitters. We’re a ProVia Platinum Dealer and ProVia Certified Installer, so we’re very familiar with their different door options.
For a professionally installed ProVia entry door in Minnesota, a useful 2026 starting range is approximately $3,500 to $16,000+.
Why such a big difference?
Because a straightforward steel entry door and a premium fiberglass entrance with sidelites aren’t remotely the same project.
For homeowners who want the strength and durability of steel, ProVia Legacy is worth considering.
A typical professionally installed Legacy entry-door project in Minnesota may fall around $3,500–$7,000, depending on size, glass, finish, hardware and installation.
If you prefer fiberglass, ProVia’s Ascent line gives homeowners another option.
For budgeting purposes, an installed Ascent fiberglass entry door might land around $5,000–$10,000 in the Twin Cities market, depending on configuration and options.
If you’re looking for something more distinctive, ProVia Signet moves into the premium end of the market.
Signet fiberglass entry-door projects can run approximately $7,000–$18,000+ installed.
These doors are particularly interesting if you love the appearance of a traditional wood entrance but want the advantages of fiberglass.
And this is where customization can really change the number.
Adding sidelites might add roughly $800–$2,500, while a transom could add another $600–$1,500. Decorative glass and upgraded hardware can add hundreds or even more than $1,000 depending on what you choose.
Put all of that together and it’s easy to understand how an elaborate front entrance can reach $10,000, $18,000 or more.
Storm doors are much less expensive, but there’s still a fairly wide range.
In the Minneapolis market, a professionally installed ProVia storm door can generally cost approximately $1,500–$2,200, although premium and custom installations can go higher.
ProVia offers several storm-door choices, including its Spectrum, Decorator, Deluxe and Superview collections.
A relatively simple storm door might stay toward the lower end of the range. A premium full-view or ventilating model with upgraded glass, hardware and finishes will move higher.
For many Twin Cities homeowners, spending somewhere around $1,500–$1,800 installed is a reasonable planning range for a quality storm-door project.
And in Minnesota, a storm door isn’t just decorative. It helps protect your primary entry door from snow, rain and weather while also giving you options for ventilation and screens during our nicer months.
Now we’re moving back into a larger investment.
For a professionally installed sliding patio door in Minnesota, a reasonable 2026 planning range is approximately $3,500–$7,500 for many conventional configurations.
Larger openings, additional panels, premium finishes and major modifications can push the price considerably higher.
ProVia gives us several patio-door options at different levels.
A ProVia Endure sliding patio door, for example, may fall roughly in the $3,500–$5,500 installed range for typical projects.
Depending on configuration, a ProVia Aeris patio door can fall around $5,500–$8.500 installed.
Those aren’t Window Outfitters quotes—they’re useful 2026 market ranges to help you understand the size of the investment before we look at your particular opening.
Options such as triple-pane glass, internal blinds, upgraded hardware, custom colors and larger two-, three- or four-panel configurations can increase the price.
Marvin is another excellent choice, particularly for homeowners looking for premium materials and architectural options.
As a general national 2026 planning guide, professionally installed Marvin patio doors can range approximately:
Marvin Essential: $3,600–$4,500
Marvin Elevate: $4,000–$7,500
Marvin Ultimate/Signature: approximately $6,500–$10,000+
Twin Cities installation conditions, larger configurations and customization can push those numbers higher.
This is why we don’t believe there is one “best” patio door for everybody.
A ProVia patio door might be the right fit for one Minneapolis home, while a Marvin system may make more sense for another.
French or hinged patio doors typically cost more than a basic sliding patio door.
For the Minneapolis–St. Paul market, $8,000–$12,500 installed is a useful 2026 planning range for many professionally installed French patio-door projects.
Premium configurations can reach $14,000 or more.
If you have an older sliding glass door and are thinking about converting that opening to French doors, don’t assume it’s simply a matter of buying two doors.
The existing opening, framing, threshold, exterior materials and interior trim all have to be considered.
That’s why we like to see the opening before putting a real number on the project.
This surprises homeowners sometimes.
You might see two fiberglass doors that look somewhat similar online, yet one complete project costs $5,000 and another costs $12,000.
Here are some of the things changing that number:
A door isn’t simply a slab hanging on hinges. You’re buying an entire exterior opening that has to operate properly and protect your home.
This is one place where we don’t recommend cutting corners.
A $7,000 premium door that’s installed poorly isn’t a $7,000 premium door anymore.
Around Minneapolis and St. Paul, that installation has to deal with snow, wind, moisture and dramatic temperature changes—from summer heat to temperatures that can fall well below zero.
Proper measurement, insulation, flashing, sealing, weatherstripping and alignment all matter.
Window Outfitters has served Twin Cities homeowners for more than two decades and is now in its 26th year. We’re also a ProVia Certified Installer, which means our relationship with ProVia goes beyond simply selling the product.
If you’re beginning to plan a project in 2026, here’s a simple way to think about it:
Around $1,500–$2,200: Start thinking quality storm door.
Around $3,500–$7,000: You’re entering the range of many professionally installed steel entry doors and sliding patio-door projects.
Around $5,000–$10,000: You have significantly more choices in fiberglass entry doors, French doors and upgraded patio-door systems.
Around $10,000–$18,000+: You’re getting into premium fiberglass entrances, sidelites, decorative glass and more customized door systems.
$15,000–$20,000+: Large, elaborate and highly customized entry or patio-door systems can easily enter this territory.
The numbers aren’t meant to replace an estimate. They’re meant to give you a realistic place to start.
If you’re replacing an entry door, storm door or patio door in Minneapolis, St. Paul or the surrounding Twin Cities, we’d rather give you useful information than tell you that “prices vary” and leave it at that.
They do vary—but now you have some numbers.
