QUICK ANSWER
Most Houston homeowners end up choosing steel. It is tough, easy to care for, and available in nearly any style. Pick a good finish and rinse it occasionally to fight humidity.
Steel doors come with one, two, or three layers. More layers add stiffness, quiet, and insulation.

What to compare
Houston homes lean on steel for its strength and price. Look at the thickness of the steel, the insulation layer, and the finish. Among the doors we install, look at the insulated Wayne Dalton 8300, the Amarr Heritage, and the Clopay Classic Steel. If an older steel door is rusting at the base, see steel door repair.
