Replacing or installing new doors can be a significant investment for homeowners and new home contractors, but understanding typical price ranges helps set expectations before you begin. 


For a standard front entry door, the average cost (including supply and installation) is around $1,500 to $4,000. Higher-end doors with sidelights, decorative glass, or custom features can climb above this range. 


Patio and sliding doors, which include large glass panels designed for frequent outdoor access, also vary in price. On average, patio doors installed range from $1,700 to $4,500, depending on style, size, and frame materials.

Material choices affect cost as well: 


PVC or Vinyl Doors


These tend to be more budget-friendly while providing good insulation. 


Fibreglass and Composite Doors


These can balance durability, aesthetics and energy performance.

 

Aluminum and Premium Wood Doors


These often carry higher price tags due to the cost of working with these materials and the customization options. 


Are New Doors Tax Deductible in Canada? 


In Canada, general home improvement costs — including new doors — are not automatically tax deductible in the same way as personal business expenses. You typically cannot deduct the cost of replacing or installing doors directly on your personal income tax return. 


There are tax credits and incentives that can offset part of your renovation costs: 


1. Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (MHRTC) 


 If your renovation creates a self-contained secondary unit in your home (for example, a suite for an aging parent), qualifying expenses up to $50,000 may qualify for a 15% credit, up to a maximum of $7,500. 


2. Home Accessibility or Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits 

 

Some federal or provincial programs provide tax benefits for renovations that improve accessibility or energy efficiency, including upgrades to doors and windows that qualify under specific criteria. Always review current programs and requirements, as eligibility and amounts can change. 


It’s also worth noting that tax treatment differs for rental properties or business-use properties, where door expenses may be deductible as capital expenses or used to calculate capital cost allowances over time.  


Because tax rules are complex and subject to change, consulting a tax professional ensures you understand which rebates or credits apply to your situation. 


How Much for New Doors and Windows Together? 


For windows, average installed costs can range from approximately $400 to $900 per unit, depending on size, glazing, and frame material. Larger or custom configurations — including egress or picture windows — can be higher. 


If you add that to door estimates (for example, a front entry and patio door from the ranges above), typical combined projects can vary widely: 


Modest upgrade:


5–8 windows and one entry door could fall in the $6,000-$12,000+ range when professionally installed. 


Comprehensive replacement:


Multiple high-performance windows and several premium doors (including patio or French doors) may reach $15,000 or more, depending on configuration and materials.
