Storm Doors in Boise, ID
Idaho's capital, from the historic North End to the Foothills
A front entry in Boise faces different conditions block to block — a shaded North End porch, a west-facing Bench ranch, or an exposed foothill elevation up around Harris Ranch taking full afternoon UV. A storm door answers all of them as an added weather and energy buffer: it traps dead air that cuts drafts on cold mornings, and shields the main door from sun and wind-driven storms that fade and warp an expensive entry. Iron Crest Exteriors hangs full-view and ventilating models with interchangeable glass and screen, square and securely latched, so the door brings in a breeze in spring and seals up tight come winter. On older Boise homes, that protection is exactly where the value sits.

Our process
How storm doors works in Boise
- 01
Measure & assess
We measure the entry opening and confirm the storm door model, glass-and-screen configuration, and swing before quoting.
- 02
Model selection
We lay out full-view versus ventilating models and interchangeable glass-and-screen options so the door suits how you use the entry.
- 03
Fit & mount
We fit the door to the opening and mount it square so it closes and latches cleanly without binding or gapping.
- 04
Closer & wind detailing
We set the closer and any wind chain so the door doesn't slam or get caught and damaged by Idaho wind gusts.
- 05
Weatherstrip, latch & seal
We fit the weatherstrip and sweep and set a secure latch so the door seals against the buffer it's meant to create.
- 06
Walkthrough
We test the close, latch, and panel swap, clean up, and walk the operation with you.
Every Boise job includes pulling any permit Ada County requires and a full clean-up — we leave your home tight, weather-sealed, and looking sharp.
Working in Boise
Idaho's capital, from the historic North End to the Foothills
Boise climbs from the Boise River and its Greenbelt up into the Foothills, layering century-old North End and East End homes over mid-century Bench ranches and newer hillside subdivisions like Harris Ranch. That spread of building eras means the exterior conditions vary block by block — original old-growth wood lap and cedar shakes downtown, painted hardboard and aluminum on the Bench, and 1990s–2000s vinyl on the foothill edges that is now reaching replacement age.
Older Boise homes often hide failing siding and single-pane wood or aluminum windows behind charming facades, while south- and west-facing foothill elevations take a beating from intense afternoon sun. Freeze-thaw swings and wind off the hills make proper flashing, house wrap, and a weather-tight install matter as much as the material itself.

Storm Doors in Boise — FAQs
Is a storm door worth it on a historic North End home with an original wood front door?
Often it's one of the smartest small upgrades you can make there. Original or restored wood entry doors on North End and East End homes are costly to refinish, and a storm door takes the UV and wind-driven rain that would otherwise weather that finish. We can hang a full-view model that keeps the historic door visible, fit it square so it doesn't bind on an older, slightly out-of-plumb opening, and set the closer and latch so it operates cleanly without detracting from the porch's character.

Will you clean up after storm doors in Boise?
Always. Every Boise job ends with a full clean-up — we haul away the old materials and packaging and leave your Ada County home tidy and protected.
Does a storm door actually save energy?
It creates a buffer of trapped air in front of your entry door that reduces drafts and modestly improves the entry's energy performance, and it shields the main door from weather. It's not a substitute for a well-sealed entry door, but as an added layer it helps, especially on an exposed entry.
What's the difference between full-view and ventilating models?
A full-view storm door is mostly glass and shows off the entry door behind it; a ventilating model has built-in screen and operable glass sections for airflow. Many doors let you swap a full glass panel for a screen seasonally, giving you both. We'll match the model to how you use the entry.
