Help w exterior door selection/style

4 years ago

Hi Everyone

I’m adding a new family entrance onto my house. The existing front door is pictured below w six widow panes.

Do you like the themratru fiberglass door pictured below for the family entrance?

Both doors are visible from front of the home. The doors will be about twelve feet away from each other family entrance is set back on the side of the house.

Any other suggested doors for the new family entrance? Should I call 84 Lumber and have them make one that is closer in style?

Thanks!

Lora

Why are you replacing the door, what don't you like about it?

Thanks for the follow-ups. I am definitely expecting to spend some $$ on the project; want a nice look with quality door(s). I think I'd prefer the look of double doors again, even though it would be more expensive. Was thinking of Mahogany (real wood), but several of you guys mentioned fiberglass doors. I checked them out, and would prefer the Jeld-Wen vs. Therma-Tru for this house. But, wouldn't wood still look better? Without an overhang, I noticed that wooden door manufactures won't give you a warranty. Does that mean I shouldn't use a wooden door? Thanks!

I have to admit that my light choices (in addition to attractiveness) include how easy it is to change bulbs. All things being equal, go with the one easy to change bulbs.

I think a light grey would look very smart - white trim. Be sure to paint the garage door the same color as the house to help it disappear.

I would NOT add faux stone to your home. Painting the blue out with a darker gray or even a sage color would enhance your home. Do consider either painting your garage doors the same color as the new siding color you choose. Or go in the opposite direction and add the cedar look garage doors to coordinate with the cedar on your future (very lovely) home.

I would not care for two different entrance looking doors on the front of a house. Try a simple solid door. is The new door your adding have to be on the front of your house? Is there another option?

yes it has to be on the front/side. I think I found one that will work better --

To me it still looks like a “front door”. Confusing. I’m my opinion I would do solid. But you should post pictures of the front of your house. Likely then will get more input
