Wooden entryway doors??

Getting a quote from Pella on Monday but would like some other quotes.

Get your Pella quote. Then go to Lowes and get a quote on the exact same door. I've found Lowes to be about 40-45% cheaper for the exact same Pella product.

ETA: I'm replacing two exterior doors with Pella Architect series fiberglass doors. They've been ordered, waiting on delivery in a few weeks. Lowes runs 15% off of Pella every now and again. Then if you use your Lowes card, you save another 5%. Add all of that on top of the huge savings compared to local Pella place, it's a no brainer.

Have wood now, and I would never do it again. Different materials now can be made to look just like wood.

thanks! Do the Lowes people do custom sizing? Do I have to get Lowes to come out and measure?

Yep. Everything can be customized. You can have Lowe’s measure. But watch them like a hawk and babysit them through every step. Check, double check, triple check everything.

I would shop where contractors shop. May be best to call a reputable builder in your area that has installed a door that you like and ask them where they purchase.

You can get a high end fiberglass door that looks just as good as wood for the same or less money and none of the headaches.

When we last built, purchased all of my interior solid wood, paneled doors from Doug Ashy. They were all pre-hung, and all I had to do was stain & seal.

The best advise you can get is to go thru a similar or high end newer hood and see what kind of front doors they have.

And do not do a double, french door. They will warp and never meet up properly in a year or so.

Wife wanted fancy double wood door. It's 11' tall, and faces west.....have to sand and refinish that motherfricker every 6 months.


Never again!!!
