What we do

Door Replacement

Door replacement for Downers Grove homes. We remove old doors, address any frame or threshold damage we find underneath, and install energy-efficient replacements with proper weather sealing so the door performs the way the manufacturer designed it.

New Door Installation

New door installation for Downers Grove homes, additions, and remodels. Entry doors, storm doors, patio and slider doors, and secondary doors. Every install includes flashing, weather barrier, and interior finish so the opening lasts as long as the door.

Financing available for your door project

A new entry door, storm door, or full patio door install can be financed through the GreenSky® Program. Royal Craft offers competitive financing available for qualifying Albany, ProVia, and Pella door installations. Loans are provided by federally insured lenders in the program.

Doors built for Downers Grove homes

Doors are one of the fastest curb-appeal upgrades in Downers Grove. A new front door on a mid-century ranch in Shady Lane Estates or a modernized entry on a Victorian in Denburn Woods reshapes how your home reads from the street. We install Albany doors, ProVia doors, and Pella patio doors across Downers Grove and the western suburbs.

Call (630) 725-1000 for a free on-site estimate. Bill or Mauricio will visit, take exact measurements, walk you through options in your budget, and give you an honest recommendation. No pressure.

The two people who will show up at your door

Fifty-plus years ago, Bill Cantalupo started Royal Craft as a seamless-gutter installer in Chicago. Doors came a few years later as the business grew into a full-service exterior remodeling shop. Today we are certified installers for Albany, ProVia, and Pella, and Bill has personally been on more Downers Grove entry-door installs than any other contractor in the area.

Mauricio joined as partner in 2023 and now handles most of the sales calls. He brings a level of exterior expertise, from doors to windows to full roofing systems, that most single-trade contractors do not have. Bill or Mauricio is on every job. Every time. No exceptions.

What to ask before you hire a door contractor

These are the five questions homeowners ask us when they are comparing door contractors. Our answers are all yes:

  1. Will Bill or Mauricio be at my install? Yes. Every time.
  2. Will you take photos of the demo, the framing, and the finished install? Yes.
  3. Are the Albany, ProVia, and Pella warranties transferable to a future owner? Yes.
  4. Will you provide the paid invoice with all manufacturer warranty paperwork? Yes. Warranty activation depends on it.
  5. Does the 10-year workmanship warranty cover the full door install? Yes. The labor and the fit, not just the door itself.

What a recent door client wrote

We ask every door client what surprised them most about working with us. The answer is usually the same. Cleanliness, patience, and how much time we take walking through options. One recent client put it this way:

“It was a pleasure working with you guys. You really know what you’re doing and kept us informed the whole way. You made it super easy for us to understand everything.”
