Help. any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried everything. I have even installed a storm door. I have inspected the attic and no water spots there. It has to be coming in somehow under the door.

We are having the same problem, and have even installed a storm door. Now we believe the water is coming in under the seal and on our house, nothing is squared so it is next to impossible to get a good seal. We are also suspecting that the steps have something to do with it, as we feel they are sloping back towards the door. A drip edge may not work for you as we also have gutters and they don't help our case. Make sure the steps aren't a problem for you first. Good luck!

You need to slope the area in front of your door. This can be done in a couple of ways. 1. Use concrete 2. Slope the threshold
Afterwards make sure to use a good caulk all around the threshold and door jamb sides. Good luck on your project.
