Entry, patio, and storm door costs at a glance
Three categories drive Minnesota door pricing: the front entry, the patio opening, and the storm door layered over either. Material, glass package, and frame size move costs more than brand alone. The ranges below cover material, labor, tear-out, flashing, and trim — quoted lump-sum per scope.

Entry, patio, and storm doors compared
$475–$25,000+ per opening installed
Front of the house
Entry doors
$1,200–$20,000 installed. Steel $1,200–$3,000 for value swaps. Fiberglass $5,000–$16,000 across the ProVia Ascent and Signet lines. Solid wood $6,500–$15,000+ for stain-grade builds. Modex installs ProVia, Pella, and Kolbe entry systems with full-frame replacement or insert depending on jamb condition.
Back of the house
Patio doors
$3,500–$25,000+ installed. Sliding $3,500–$7,500 for two-panel and three-panel layouts. French (hinged) $5,000–$10,500 for the traditional swing-out look. Multi-slide pocket and lift-and-slide systems $12,000–$25,000+ for great-room walls that open to the deck. ProVia Endure sliders, Pella Lifestyle and Reserve, and Kolbe Forgent or VistaLuxe cover the range.
Layered over entry
Storm doors
$475–$1,200 installed. Ventilating storm doors $475–$1,000 for screened airflow during shoulder seasons. Full-view storm doors $700–$1,200 for maximum glass and curb appeal. Adds a layer of insulation and protects the entry door finish from Twin Cities sun and salt. ProVia Spectrum and Decorator series are the workhorses.
ProVia entry-door lineup
Three entry-door lines, value steel to premium fiberglass
ProVia is the brand we lead with on entry doors: a steel value line and two fiberglass lines that take stain like real wood. Typical installed ranges below assume one front entry with a sidelight or transom — we confirm the exact number on a free measurement.
Steel — value
ProVia Legacy — $3,500–$7,000
ProVia's steel entry door, in smooth or textured wood-grain (oak). Energy-efficient polyurethane core at a value price — the right swap when a hollow-core builder door has failed but the budget needs to stay tight. 10-year finish warranty.
Fiberglass — mid
ProVia Ascent — $5,000–$10,000
White Oak or smooth fiberglass that reads as wood from the street and takes stain. The most common Modex install on tract homes and 1990s–2010s builds where the homeowner wants warmth without committing to true stain-grade. 10-year finish warranty.
Premium fiberglass
ProVia Signet — $7,000–$16,000
ProVia's premium fiberglass door — Cherry, Mahogany, Oak, Knotty Alder, or Fir grain that takes 20 stains and 7 glazes like real wood, plus the broadest decorative-glass library in the lineup. Where Twin Cities custom and lake homes land. 15-year finish warranty.

Minnesota energy code
U-factor 0.32 today, 0.28 under the 2024 update
Minnesota's residential energy code currently requires exterior doors with glass to meet a U-factor of 0.32 or lower. The 2024 update tightens that to U-factor 0.28 or lower in Climate Zone 6, which covers the Twin Cities metro. Every ProVia, Pella, and Kolbe door Modex installs ships with NFRC-rated glass that meets or beats the current code, and we spec to the 2024 number on full-frame replacements so the build stays compliant when the update lands. Steel and fiberglass slabs without glass have their own R-value path — we'll flag which line you need on the quote.
Cost drivers
Why two door quotes can come in $4,000 apart
Frame condition is the biggest swing. An insert replacement on a sound jamb runs 15–25% less than a full-frame tear-out where the rough opening needs new framing, flashing tape, and trim. Sidelights and transoms each add a separate price line. Decorative glass cuts can double the slab cost on Signet and Embarq. Multi-point locking hardware on a swing-style patio door adds $400–$800 over a standard deadbolt. Existing security systems, sensors, or smart locks may need to be rewired. We quote lump-sum per scope — the scope sheet lists everything; the price is one number you can plan around.
