The classic solution is to hire somebody to stand in your building's entrance as a full-time job. Maybe not practical if you live in a single family home.

Also not practical if you live in a regular town house that has been converted to apartments. There's a minimum size of an apartment building where a concierge is not a complete waste of money, and it's probably somewhere in the small-skyscraper range.

I believe the even more classic solution would be to hire someone to answer your door and manage your servants. There's no reason for a single family estate to have a doorman, but plenty have butlers.
