Provia Entry Door Cost - justified?

After searching this site for a quality door, I decided to price out Provia and was hoping you kind folks could give me an idea if this is a highly price quote. ProVia 44 Style (3/4 door and 3/4 sidelights) Cherry Signet Fiberglass Entry Door + Dual Sidelites installed for 10k. Seems like a steep price for an entry door, but I'd rather pay once than twice.

Is this a fair price? What have others paid?

Waht do you think is fair price. In my experience the pricing is done to reflect what people are willing to pay. I don’t see the door so have no cleu. If you want this type of help you need to post pictures of the house and the doors

Sounds like a fair price to me. I assume this includes removal and disposal of the existing?

Thanks! I'm happy to hear you're happy with the quality. Did you get mortised hardware, and are you happy with your locks, handles, etc.? On my house, the full-view door will be on a deep, shaded, north-facing porch, so direct exposure to sunlight isn't an issue on that one. For that door, I do want just a simple pane of glass to show off the historic-esque bungalow-style entry door (as soon as I choose one), and I don't need the ventilation for the room that door opens into as it has eight operable windows with screens! The back door, however, is at the southwest corner of the house with very little shade, so heat buildup is an issue. I'll be sure to talk to the ProVia guy about whether that's an issue with the back entry door when he's here measuring next week. I am planning on a white-painted fiberglass door for the back entry door, so I imagine the heat will not be a problem, but I'll ask.

Lot of different styles, options, and installation circumstances that could affect the price (not to mention the market location), but that does not seem outside the normal range for a high end entry door and high end storm.

HomeSealed, thank you so much for commenting. I have considered the concerns you mention, but Signet would be $16,800. A full 6k more, and I just wasn't sure the 55% extra cost would pay off. I've spent a lot of time on the ProVia site, watched the manufacturing videos, read SO many online reviews, and much of the information I got was about choosing Signet for more choices in realistic stained wood finish (I'm going with smooth painted) and more heft. So, I've just ended up trusting the quality and reputation of the ProVia brand and the experience of the local Pella install/remodel team will make the 11k Heritage a good decision. Has experience taught you differently? Will I be replacing fiberglass in ten years wishing I'd spent the extra 6? When you mentioned legacy might be best, is it because steel is somehow more stable, less likely to warp than fiberglass, in 8' or in double or both? I was wondering why they allow dual action on steel at that height and not on fiberglass, which is offered only in multi-point.

A basic Provia door with minimal glass, installed by professionals will cost almost $6000 in my area. You didn't indicate your location. Provia's operations are located near Sugarcreek, Ohio. Craftsmanship is outstanding, as is their product's warranty. Call another Provia dealer and check prices, but make absolutely sure you have it installed by certified craftsmen. In this locale, the installers handle removal of old door, installation of new, all needed insulation/finish work, and removal of old materials.

I miss my Provia door. Most people thought it was real wood. My new construction home has a terrible door/stained door and looks cheap. Will probably will get another on like this soon!
