Storm & Security Doors for Extra Protection
The unpredictable Chicagoland climate means storm doors are a smart investment for many homes. Storm doors act as the first line of defense, reducing heat loss in winter, blocking heat in summer, and keeping rain, wind, and debris outside where they belong. From full-view glass designs to ventilating screens, Erdmann offers storm doors tailored to Greater Chicago homes.
Security doors feature reinforced steel cores, multi-point locking systems, and impact-resistant materials for extra peace of mind. Design options are available to coordinate with your main entry door for a unified look.
Custom Design & Material Choices for Your Door
Every home is unique, and Erdmann installs doors tailored to fit any entry or patio configuration. Homeowners can choose from several premium door material options:
Fiberglass entry doors for durability and minimal maintenance
Steel security doors for strength and weather performance
Wood doors for a timeless, sophisticated finish
Glass panels, decorative inserts, and oversized custom doors for maximum impact
Whatever your vision, Erdmann delivers quality results and striking curb appeal. See the results for yourself in our photo gallery.

Erdmann is very organized and clearly has many years of experience to know how to manage the project and deliver an amazing service. My sister-in-law stopped over recently and actually thought she accidentally went to the wrong house - she didn’t recognize it!
First, good appraisal of what we needed. Then full explanation of what they would do and estimate. Next, a prompt and pleasant experience of what they did. We would highly recommend them and will use them again as we need.
