As the holiday season approaches, Northern New Jersey homeowners are preparing for cozy gatherings, festive décor, and, let’s be honest, a steady stream of guests. But before you hang the wreath or string the lights, take a moment to consider the first impression your home makes: the front door.
If your entryway feels outdated, drafty, or lacks curb appeal, now is the perfect time to upgrade with a Therma-Tru door. At Classic Remodeling, we specialize in entry door installation with premium Therma-Tru products that combine security, energy efficiency, and timeless style – just in time for the holidays.
Why Your Front Door Matters More Than You Think
Your front door isn’t just a passageway, it’s a focal point. It sets the tone for your home’s exterior, influences energy performance, and plays a critical role in safety. Here’s why homeowners across Bergen and Passaic counties are prioritizing entryway upgrades this season:
- Curb Appeal Boost: A new door instantly elevates your home’s appearance, especially with seasonal décor.
- Energy Efficiency: Modern doors like Therma-Tru’s are engineered to reduce drafts and enhance overall home efficiency.
- Security: Reinforced cores and advanced locking systems offer peace of mind during travel and holiday deliveries.

Therma-Tru is a trusted name in residential entry systems, known for blending beauty with performance. At Classic Remodeling, we provide specialized Therma-Tru entry door installation so homeowners enjoy the full security, efficiency, and style these doors are designed to deliver.
Here’s what sets them apart:
Built for Security
Therma-Tru doors feature solid construction, impact-resistant materials, and multi-point locking options. Whether you choose fiberglass or steel, you’ll gain a durable barrier against forced entry and harsh weather.

With insulated cores and tight seals, Therma-Tru doors help maintain indoor comfort and reduce heating costs, especially important during New Jersey’s chilly winters.
Design Versatility
From classic woodgrain textures to sleek modern panels, Therma-Tru offers styles to match any home. Choose from dozens of finishes, glass inserts, sidelites, and hardware options to create a custom look.
Low Maintenance
Unlike traditional wood doors, Therma-Tru’s fiberglass options resist warping, rotting, and fading; ideal for homes in Ridgewood, Paramus, and other areas prone to seasonal moisture.
Holiday-Ready Styles That Make a Statement
Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner or welcoming carolers, your front door should reflect warmth and elegance. Popular Therma-Tru collections for the season include:
- Classic Craft®: Rich woodgrain looks with the durability of fiberglass.
- Smooth-Star®: Sleek, paintable surfaces perfect for bold holiday colors.
- Pulse®: Contemporary designs for modern homes in Fort Lee or Clifton and beyond.
Many of these styles are ENERGY STAR® certified, helping you save on heating costs while keeping your home comfortable. Pair your new door with decorative glass, brushed nickel hardware, and a smart lock system for a festive yet functional upgrade.
