Customer Story: A Smooth Door Replacement for a 30-Year-Old Home
When a door is more than 30 years old, it’s usually time for an upgrade. That’s what homeowner Phil Morganti of Reading, Pennsylvania discovered. His back door and screen door were installed decades ago as a DIY project. Over time, they became drafty, hard to open, and nearly impossible to clean.
One day, Phil visited his son’s house and noticed a brand-new back door. He was impressed and asked who did the work. His son recommended Joyland Windows and Doors, so Phil gave us a call.
Choosing the Right Doors
Our project manager Mike met with Phil to review his options. The back door and pass door were in the worst shape, so those were replaced first. With so many styles and hardware choices, Mike walked Phil through everything to make sure the new doors matched his home perfectly.
Phil also wanted to replace his front doors, but since it was late in the season, he decided to wait until spring. This way, the screen doors would be ready to use when warmer weather arrived.

Professional Installation That Made a Big Difference
The installation process was smooth from start to finish. Right away, Phil noticed a huge improvement. The new doors closed tightly, sealed out drafts, and were easy to use. Phil shared, “The new doors are fantastic. They close smoothly, fit tightly, and work so much better than what we had before. If I had more doors, I’d have more doors done!”
Even when a small adjustment was needed, our team responded quickly. A technician came out within a couple of weeks to make sure everything was perfect.
