A smooth fiberglass entry door painted your color is a prehung fiberglass door with a smooth, paint-grade skin that holds paint in any color. JMB Builders supplies and installs it across the Twin Cities metro, priced per door, frame included. Painting is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and paint it yourself. In stock in white or custom ordered, lead time on the quote. Photo reply within one business day, or a free in-home estimate.
- Smooth skin, any paint color, no dents or rust
- Priced per door, prehung frame included
- Painting quoted as a separate line, or DIY
Fiberglass entry doors come in two skins. Wood grain is for staining to look like oak or mahogany. Smooth is for painting. A smooth fiberglass door has a flat, slightly textured face like a painted steel door, but it does not dent when something hits it, does not rust at the bottom, and does not move with the seasons the way wood does. Paint sticks to it and stays.
Color is the point of this door, and you get it two ways. A primed smooth door, which is often in stock in common sizes, is painted after install. We quote that painting as a separate line, or you leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself on a warm day. A factory finished smooth door comes painted in the maker's color at the plant, which is a custom order with the lead time written on the quote, and only the new trim needs finishing on site.
The door is a prehung unit, frame included, in options such as Therma-Tru, ProVia or Masonite smooth lines, with or without glass. It goes in like any entry door: old door and frame out, sill rot repaired, a sill pan and flashing in, the new unit set square, brickmould and casing on, lockset and deadbolt fitted. One door is a welcome job.

How it is priced: per door
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Primed in stock vs. a factory finished color, which is custom ordered
- Glass: none, a lite, half-lite or full-lite, clear or privacy
- Sidelites or a transom ordered with the door
- Rot at the sill, jamb feet and subfloor once the old door is out
- Painting the door and trim, quoted as a separate line
- Hardware: a basic lockset vs. a handleset or smart lock
Tell us the color you want. A primed door painted on site and a factory finished door land on different lead times, and the quote shows both if you ask.
How long it takes
About a day on site for the door. Painting on site is a separate visit once the door is in and the weather allows. A primed door is often in stock; a factory finished door is ordered with the lead time on the quote.

Situations and options

A smooth primed door, often in stock in white. We paint it your color as a separate line once it is installed, or you paint it yourself.
Factory finished color
Painted at the plant in the maker's color range, custom ordered with the lead time on the quote. Only the new trim needs finishing on site.
Smooth door with glass
A half-lite, full-lite or a row of small lites in the smooth slab, clear or privacy glass. Glass is custom ordered; the paint color is still yours.
Smooth Fiberglass Entry Door, Painted Your Color: questions, answered
Can a fiberglass front door be painted any color?
A smooth fiberglass door can. It is made to be painted, takes exterior acrylic paint and holds it without the chalking or dents of steel or the movement of wood. Dark colors on a door in full sun run hotter, so we talk through the exposure before you pick black on a south-facing door.
Do you paint the new fiberglass door?
Painting is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself. A factory finished door arrives painted, so only the new brickmould and casing need finishing. Either way the door itself is one line and the paint is another.
Is a smooth fiberglass door in stock or custom ordered?
A primed smooth door in a common size is often in stock at our supplier and can go in soon after the measure. A factory painted color, glass, a sidelite or an odd size is custom ordered with the lead time written on the quote.
Smooth fiberglass or steel for a painted front door?
Both take paint. Steel costs less and is the in-stock standard; it can dent and will rust at the bottom if the paint fails. Smooth fiberglass costs more, does not dent or rust, and holds paint longer in sun and weather. For a front door you want to look good in a color, smooth fiberglass is the usual pick.
Can a smooth fiberglass door be stained instead of painted?
No. The smooth skin has no grain to take stain. If you want a stained look, order a wood grain fiberglass door instead. A smooth door is for paint.
Is one painted front door too small a job?
No. One door is a welcome job for JMB Builders, priced per door with the frame included. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
