Do you want the door to have a grain finish or do you want it smooth? Are you planning to stain or paint? Plastpro makes doors in a wide variety of textures. We have 3 of their 3' wide 6'8" tall smooth doors--2 are full lite & one is 1/2 lite with raised panels on the bottom. We are very pleased with them. The thing with the glass in the doors is that alot of times the manufacturers use the cheap frame around the glass that screws in place & the screw hole fillers are never put in properly. Plastpro is one of the very few that offer a flush glazed glass for their doors which is far superior aesthetically, IMO. Click the link below for closeup photos of the flush glaze frame. I would check again with Plastpro--sometimes you have to go to a different dealer to get the answers you need on doors (I know we had to). Good luck!

I understand your comment about the quality/price. I'm looking, of course, for a company that fits the "good quality for the price" mold as opposed to the "you get what you pay for". The home is in the New Orleans area. Budgeting around 3k, if possible.

I installed a fiberglass Provia door in my house in Virginia Run (pictures below). It was a little pricey but I think well worth it. Even up close you can’t tell it wasn’t wood. We actually did the inside a different wood tone. I had gotten so many complements on it too! I recently moved and miss that door and can’t wait to change my current door. I’m also a Realtor in the area. Greenbriar is a sought out neighborhood, so I would feel confident in spending a little more in improvements if I owned there.

Millworkman, thanks for the advice, as always. We were trying to get by more reasonably, but our guy said there is NO comparison to Provia doors. So, based on the two of you, that’s what we’ll buy. Only disappointment is the SMALL selection of 30” doors. We have a double door entry and it will cost $7000 for doors we don’t really like, as they do not offer very much in our size. Thanks again.
