New Front Door, any recommendations?

We are in desperate need of a new front door. Went with Home Depot and the dang door manufacturing company literally sent us the wrong door (it was a glass back door vs the solid fiberglass wood looking one we ordered). And they were going to charge us $2K to do so.

So needless to say, mama wasn't happy and now I'm here looking for recommendations on some non-Lowe's/home Depot companies to look into.

Anyone have any good experiences? Picture of what we're looking for is below, hoping to get it done under $2K....




We want something solid, fiberglass, 6 panels with the raised trim (home depot only had 6 panel with basic trim).

Have you tried seconds and surplus?

You should find a true builders supply company, ask what manufactures they carry and go from there.

Mine is a little far out but they carry Masonite doors, which has a ton of options on their website. It took about two weeks to get in. I would stick with Fiberglass - I have one in woodgrain and it looks like wood but doesn't warp like wood nor expand\contract like metal.

We Replaced our front door with pinky's iron doors. Absolutely love it. Not very pricey at all

Who installed your door? And which door did you go with?

I got this one. They recommended an installer in DFW who I used. I gave his number to another texager But I don't think the guy is still in business; he did a great job. If you order from pinky's, ask for an installer recommendation in your area or you can pay any true door installer to measure and then install.

If you don't mind sharing, what was the the install cost? I'm in DFW as well and want to replace mine at some point. I've been browsing Pinkys but no idea what someone would charge to put it in.

We got a door there, had it stained and installed last week. Looks amazing.

Probably not what you're looking for, but we just ordered a door from Love That Door.

www.lovethatdoor.com

We're getting a 96x36 that looks fairly craftsman style. The quality of construction is incredibly impressive but you pay for it.

Do they do the install as well or did you find someone else?

Who did your install? We are looking at a Pinky's door and looking for an installer recommendation.

Thanks!

I called several people on home advisor and good contractor list, the pricing was either so high or no one wanted to install just one door. All the contractors I spoke to were so busy with other jobs one door wasn't worth it at this time.

We went with Freedom Iron Doors, it's the same owner as Love That Door which was mentioned above. They build and install custom doors and pricing was not too much more than pinky's.

Ordered from pinkys as well. We had to get a thermally broken due to the cold weather here so it ended up costing much more but still worth it. Install was only 350
