The first thing people see when they visit your home isn’t your furniture or flooring—it’s your front door. It’s the handshake before the conversation, the welcome before the words. But in Louisiana, your door does more than greet guests. It also has to stand up to brutal humidity, pounding rain, and the occasional hurricane-season showdown.
If you’ve ever watched your door swell shut from moisture or felt a cold draft sneaking through the cracks, you already know: not all doors are built for the Gulf South.
That’s why choosing the right one matters more than you think.
In New Orleans and Houma, doors have a tough job. They have to look beautiful and handle the unpredictable mix of heat, humidity, and heavy rain that defines our weather. The wrong door material can warp, rot, or fade faster than a summer storm rolls in.
Here’s what to consider when shopping for a door that can handle Louisiana life:
The key is balance—beauty that lasts, strength that performs.
Every year, we hope for an easy season. But if you live in southern Louisiana, you know the storms are part of life. Strong exterior doors are one of the first lines of defense against wind, rain, and flying debris.
Modern storm-rated doors and reinforced frames can make a world of difference. They help prevent leaks, reduce damage, and protect the integrity of your home’s structure during extreme weather.
And it’s not just about safety—it’s about peace of mind when those winds start howling outside your window.
Sure, your front door protects your home, but it’s also a major design element. The right color, style, and hardware can instantly boost curb appeal.
Think of it like this: your front door is your home’s smile. Whether you go with a bold modern color or a timeless Southern-style woodgrain finish, you can express your personality while improving value.
At Wholesale Siding Supply, we offer interior and exterior doors that merge form and function—because why should you have to choose between beauty and performance?
When most people think about upgrading doors, they picture the front entryway—but interior doors play a huge role in how your home feels.

Whether you’re upgrading one room or your whole home, a consistent door style brings polish to your interior design.
