Simpson makes a very nice door. Just make certain the shop who hangs the door in the frame knows what they are doing. Pick a SOLID frame (not finger joint), make sure the frame is sealed all sides well, it sits in a proper sill pan or properly flashed opening. And the most important fact that never seems to be accomplished finish ALL 6 SIDES OF THE DOOR!!! And do not order it from a box store......

Thanks guys. Your opinions gave me the reassurance that I needed to mimic the door and window trim in the proportions proper for the door vs. going for an entirely different style of trim. I also decided that since this is such a protected area that I could safely have my door trim made out of real wood vs. the azek we have used elsewhere for other trim to try to give the front door trim a softer look. It will have to be painted but that's ok. We have a good woodworker that is going to start this right away, so we can get the door up and get the siding finished. Thank you so much for the advice. Leluni..my siding is cedar with Cabot's solid stain. Color is Burnt Hickory. We love our siding. Looked at every possible product. Finally decided on real cedar. http://cedar-valley.com/quality/?keyword=cedar%20valley%20siding&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv47e-9Cw2gIV3LrACh1_vwQ4EAAYASAAEgLD1_D_BwE Chicagoans..thanks for photoshopping my door in there for me with the trim! How cool and I wish I had those skills. Gives me a good idea of what it will look like. Martha...I love the flare too. Yes, he did a good job even though it kind of freaked him out at first. The architect did a good job designing it too :-) Most of the stone is covered to keep it clean but there is a perfect amount of reveal. Well done! Columns will be soon. Stone ordered for porch and steps. thanks guys.

Corners look good. Siding goes into the corner pieces. They just left. They are ordering a new Jamb 2 inches smaller than the current jamb and having provia come out and do the swap of the jambs. Thanks Everyone. Your input validated my feelings that the door was wrong so I was confident pushing back and demanding a new jamb not a jerry rigged solution. I'm gonna wait till the door is ordered to tell him he needs to fix the garage door siding. I don't wanna load up too much on him at once.

We plan to paint our front door in a lighter color like Watery by SW. I want it to pop with the medium brown brick ranch home exterior. Do I paint the sidelight and middle trim the same color? Or do I paint it white like the trim on the house?
