We have a "side" exterior door that needs replacing. Previous owner had sprinklers hitting and it has rotted at the bottom. We have tried to patch for a few years but not sure we can keep doing so.

Any recommendations for companies? I would prefer to avoid a window and door company. We plan to replace windows in 2 years just not yet.

Edit: 32 x 96 size.

May also re-do our patio double doors (72x96 with similar design as image below) , master bedroom exterior door (same as below) and garage door (solid wood door).

Just go to Lowes or HD and get a door that matches your dimensions and swing (RH). They have installation services if you aren't up to DIY. It's one door so should be straightforward.

I used HD for this exact type of job about a year ago and the installer did a great job. I DIY'd one at my last house about 10 years ago and it went well too, but was just too busy to mess with it this time.

Ok. I will look into it Home Depot.

I had a less than awesome experience recently using HD installation so any other non-HD recs would be appreciate...but maybe they are the best option for this type work....

Good handyman company is another option for install.

Any specific recommendations by chance from your line of work?

Unfortunately, I do not have one right now. Been trying to find one for a while to recommend.

For a handyman rec, we used Fred several years ago for a couple projects if you want to give him a try. https://besthandyman.net

I've used Lowe's for the doors on my house. I'm certain I could find a handyman to do it cheaper. But this way if it isn't perfect, I can go yell at Lowe's instead of ranting on Nextdoor/Facebook.

It makes me feel better about it. Limiting downside perhaps.
