Front Door Purchase
Has anyone bought a new front door lately?
We are in the middle of looking for a new front door, and trying to get in under the line for the tax credit. We have found special order doors that are in our price range at some of the common places like Lowes, HD or Menards, but we are interested in looking at other places, but not sure where to start. We will probably be installing it ourselves so we are looking more for a retailer not a installer.
Any suggestions?
Re: Front Door Purchase
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
We just purchased new doors this weekend because our siding is getting replaced due to hail damage so we're doing it ahead of that. We got our doors at Lowes and at Home Depot so I'm not sure I'm much help. I did find that Lowes had a broader selection of in-stock stuff and they were in better shape than the ones at HD. We hit up the building material outlet Saturday a.m. and it was clear that lots of folks had been looking at doors because it was pretty picked over for the size we needed but that might be a good option too. You pay the sticker price plus 12%.
Do ask if they qualify for the energy tax credit though because not all the doors will make the cut. Basically, the less glass that is in it, the better! Our new full glass door doesn't qualify but our half glass door does.
Thank you for all the input.
We have looked at Thermatru and H has mentioned Scherer, so I guess that will definitely be on our list.
We will have to check out the building Material Outlet also, We pretty much know what we are looking for, it is kind of a price and delivery thing now.
