Beautiful New Entryway in Dearborn: How Level Up Improvement Delivered Luxury for Less

At Level Up Improvement, we take pride in transforming Michigan homes with high-quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to value. Recently, our team completed a stunning Therma-Tru grand entryway in Dearborn, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.

This project highlights what makes Level Up Improvement different — a mix of family values, expert installation, and real savings for homeowners who want more than the “big box store” experience.

A Family Touch: Meet the Team Behind the Project

Every successful project starts with a great team. For this job, our door installers Tim and Rich led the way. Tim, who happens to be the brother of our co-owner, Brandon Parsons, brought his trademark attention to detail and pride in workmanship to the job.

Having family on the team isn’t just a fun fact — it’s part of what makes Level Up Improvement special. We’re a family-owned and operated business, and that shows in the way we treat each home like it’s our own. From the first measurement to the final clean-up, our installers bring a level of care that you just don’t find everywhere.

The Homeowner’s Challenge: A $30,000 “Material-Only” Quote

The homeowners in Dearborn had a clear vision: they wanted to upgrade their home’s entrance with a grand, welcoming look that added both curb appeal and energy efficiency. They had already done some homework and received a quote from a well-known big box store for over $30,000 — and that was just for the materials.

Yes, you read that right: materials only.

That quote didn’t include installation, trim work, or any of the finishing details that make a project truly complete. When they reached out to Level Up Improvement, they were surprised to find that we could deliver the entire project — including professional installation — for significantly less.

We believe homeowners shouldn’t have to overpay for quality. Our team works directly with trusted suppliers, keeps our overhead low, and focuses on craftsmanship rather than markups.

The Star of the Show: A Therma-Tru Grand Entryway

For this project, we used a Therma-Tru door system, one of the industry’s most trusted and innovative brands. Therma-Tru doors are known for their durability, security, and energy efficiency, making them an ideal choice for Michigan’s unpredictable weather.

This particular setup featured beautiful French doors with full-length sidelights, creating a striking entrance that fills the home with natural light. The combination of design and performance made it a perfect upgrade for this Dearborn home.

Why We Love Therma-Tru Doors

• Energy Efficiency: Each Therma-Tru door system is designed to keep heat in during the winter and out during the summer.

• Style Options: Whether you want modern glass panels, classic woodgrain finishes, or decorative sidelights, there’s a Therma-Tru style for every home.

• Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, these doors resist warping, cracking, and rotting, even in Michigan’s humid summers and freezing winters.

• Enhanced Security: Solid construction and high-quality locking mechanisms offer peace of mind for homeowners.

From Quote to Completion: The Level Up Process

Every home improvement project is different, but our process stays consistent. It’s built around communication, craftsmanship, and care.

1. Consultation and Estimate: We start by discussing the homeowner’s vision, needs, and budget. In this case, we also reviewed the high-priced competitor quote and showed where we could deliver better value.

2. Material Selection: We worked together to choose the Therma-Tru French doors and sidelights that matched their home’s exterior style and desired look.

3. Professional Installation: Tim and Rich handled every aspect of the installation with precision — from framing adjustments to weatherproofing and finishing details.

4. Finishing Touches: After installation, we ensure everything looks and operates perfectly. We also clean up thoroughly so the only thing left behind is a beautiful new entryway.

Delivering Real Value, Not Just Lower Prices

When we say we offer value, it’s not just about being cheaper than the big stores. It’s about offering better quality, better service, and a better experience.

Large retailers may give you a flashy showroom or a recognizable brand name, but what they can’t match is the personal attention and craftsmanship of a local, family-run company like ours.

Our customers appreciate knowing who’s coming to their home, being able to speak directly with the owner, and getting a fair, transparent price.

In the case of this Dearborn homeowner, the difference was clear — both in cost and in quality.

The Finished Look: Modern Elegance Meets Practical Performance

The completed entryway instantly elevated the look of the home. The French doors with sidelights created a grand, welcoming appearance that looks like it belongs in a design magazine. The natural light pouring through the sidelights brightened the foyer and made the space feel larger and more open.

On top of that, the new Therma-Tru system improved energy efficiency and security, adding long-term value to the home.
