Door Price
Can anyone advise me on this front door issue. I was quoted $23,000 for a pair of Sugar Pine front doors from a wood craftsman recomended on this site. To me this seems like a lot of money. Currently i have a single door with a transom on top. I was hopeing to change that…
Can anyone advise me on this front door issue. I was quoted $23,000 for a pair of Sugar Pine front doors from a wood craftsman recomended on this site. To me this seems like a lot of money. Currently i have a single door with a transom on top. I was hopeing to change that to 2 full length doors with no transom. Has anyone bought new doors? what was the price? Would it be less expensive if i went with 2 doors and a transom? Has anyone bought doors from Eddie and had them look the way they intended? thanks
this is a great thread .
thank you all for your posts and prices. 5000 is cheap, 20,000 expensive, there we have the range. but really it depends on the amount of detail and quality and INSTALL.
those diy like me will try to pay 5 but do a huge amount of work and research and follow ups. if i had the 20 i would love to give it to a pro and not think twice. of course you have to have great refs to know you get a pro, so there is nothing wrong with spending the money as the doors may be worth it.
watch out for install and weather stripping, etc… it takes a pro to install properly, and perfect doors can be screwed up! think of your final product, especially when your locksmith blames the installer and your beautiful doors won’t seal right. one stop shopping sounds attractive huh?
we are looking for a quality installer and a maybe a refinisher if anyone has a rec. and hopefully a price for 8 foot double doors with transom circa 1900. we’re on a low budget but our doors and windows are really really important, like every day!
4:26 great idea, what happens when the doors don’t fit?
I was not bragging about how much i paid because i did not pay it you fool. Kat how much did Tamer charge you? what kind of doors? How high?
I’m surprised you haven’t searched the salvaged yards and found something that would be acceptable for the restoration. Unless you want to brag about how much you paid, do the homework and save yourself some money.
Pay the $23,000. We need people like you to keep us out of the recession.
I had my doors built by tamer and tamer on Baltic street. I chose mahogany for the look and color.
Kat..
Sugar Pine gives them away evey time. not a good choice for entry doors. too soft.
Yes it was Artistic wood crafts
Well the transoms are not original to these homes, so i wanted to go original. The doors would be 94 inches high with a piece of glass in the middle and a little glass up top. there would also be the rope type moulding or columns around the door. He would use sugar pine.
