hi, I have a $9800. qoute from Renewal by Anderson for a Provia Entry door. Signet serires. Includes bronze davos grip handle handle and lever. bronze hinge hardware, removal and disposal of old door, all installation and a lifetime guarantee. Framesaver. It is the fir in truffle inside and outside frame. My research is finding that Provia is a great quality but I don't know if this price is in the right range as it seems super high to me but I know all costs going up as well as this is a full on soup to nuts cost, all in and includes the lifetime guarantee..

Why did you decide to use Renewal by Andersen for the installation? Have you considered getting other quotes?

You seem to be focused on a "lifetime guarantee" - is that from ProVia or RBA? What are the specific terms and how much is that really worth to you?

Ouch that seems high. Ours took 4 mos to get custom from Provia, and paid $6500 a little over a year ago.

For the HGI, I am looking to do modify my front entry to install a 96" fiberglass door. The name of the door is Mohave. However, for the Provia door, I am looking to get the Signet Fiberglass "Crystal" door. The only difference I see is that the warranty on the finish is that Provia offers 7 years vs. 5 years for HGI. Both doors seems to be constructed the same but I'm not sure. Provia also indicates that they have a 3 pt lock system which runs around $1200.00 which is a requirement for 96" doors. Provia will not sell the door without installing this lock. For the HGI, they have a 2 pt. lock system. The biggest difference that I'm finding is that Provia is $7000 more expensive. The price mentioned is including installation.

Not sure exactly which door style you are referring to but that seems like a very good price on that door and sidelites. Especially if they are replacing the interior trim.

BpChill - The doors must be painted the custom color mix specified by my HOA. I don't know whether Provia and HomeGuard can do that, or if they can, whether one will charge a lot more than the other to do it. I would prefer the factory do the painting because I think it will be much more durable than if I hired a painter to paint the new door and frames in my HOA's custom color.

Provia Door quote- Is this reasonable?

Yes, I'd say that is somewhere in the spectrum of expected pricing. Lot of variables involved regarding the installation, etc, but that Signet is a VERY high end door, and that is an expensive glass package as well. I'd also add that at $400, it sounds like they are throwing the storm door in for a song. You could easily double that storm door price and take as a "discount" on the entry door.

I didn't even know that Renewal by Andersen sells Provia doors. I would look for a Provia installer that is not a franchise for Renewal by Andersen. I am not a fan of Renewal by Andersen overall (as opposed to Andersen Windows & Doors which I do like). Here is a link to the Provia website page where you can find Provia Certified Installers.

(As an aside, an entry door with that much window can be a problem for privacy. Make sure you have considered that. Either from a street view able to see inside, or whether when someone rings the doorbell they are able to see that you or a family member is home alone.)

Good point M Miller! Mine was a certified installer for windows and doors, Provia being their main product represented.

That particular style and options by Provia that you are getting is going to be expensive and the $6500 quote by the other poster is not a good comparison, its a totally different door style plus prices went up substantially this past year.

Thank you everyone! Yes I have reached out to a Provia provider/ installer . Also, yes, I am keen on the lifetime guarantee, one stop contact because when there’s a problem nobody guarantees anything! We have walls of Marvin doors and no recourse when even slight things at issue.

@Gail Witterschein Lee, the best thing you can do here is what you are already doing, get another quote or two for comaprison purposes. As Window Genius alluded to, its really hard to compare a price from another company on another door, and also throw in the fact that its a year old. A single door price can vary by thousands based on the series, finish options, size, etc, etc even from the SAME company at the SAME time... the other variables on top of that make that comparison hold very limited value if any.

The only other thing I'd add is to make sure that you contact an established company (10yrs+) with a great reputation. While the company that quoted you isn't on the top of my "most recommended" list, at least you know that they'll be around to serve you which is more than can be said for 97% of home improvement companies who go under within the first 10 years.
