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
That amount is ridiculous, try joe salem of
woodzone, he’s currnetly making my front doors which are 2″ thick and 94 inches high
out of maple. I’m keeping my existing frame.
included was the glass, hinges, drop bolts
and the painting for $4800. http://www.woodzoneinc.com 718-755-6527
I forgot to mention that I’m landmarked as well and Landmarks approved the door with transom.
That price seems high. How detailed are your doors? We’re getting new doors plus all the surrounding framing rebuilt for about 25% less. This is for an historically accurate reproduction with antique (reclaimed) long leaf yellow pine. Our doors are solid wood (only tiny glass top lights), 2+ inches thick, 10 feet high and with significant amount of detail.
And by the way, they charge more if your landmarked.
Go down to southeastern PA. The woodworkers there are amazing, and they’ll custom-build your doors. Then rent a u-haul, pick them up, and have a local install them.
My contractor found a great place in Richmond Hill. I had two doors made plus the transom in solid mahagony. They designed it based on a picture of a door that I printed from the website of a company that is very popular on this site. They quoted me a lot of money when I called. Needless to say these people made the exact door for less money. Call my contractor Beer [I know….but this surname is very popular in Guyana](646) 358-6118. He installed the door as well as stained it (Dark Walnut) and polyurethaned (sp?)it with Minwax® Helmsman® Spar Urethane in Satin. All for this for $8,000.
I got great pair of mahogany doors with bevelled glass (each 28″ x 102″) custom ordered from Pine Crest Doors, http://www.pinecrestinc.com, I was in Minnesota at the time so it was really easy to work with them.
Nice selection, great quality. I paid about $4,800 for the pair about 5 years ago. Made in SE Asia and shipped anywhere.
Go see Eddie on the corner of Grand & Greene. To even think of paying that kind of money is absolutely rediculous.
My guys who I’ve used a lot for minor renovations, quoted 3500 last year for the door but since I was not yet ready I did not go into details of wood type etc. I guess I don’t go for the high end!
I haven’t done my front door yet, but I’ve bought quite a few doors from Eddie and various salvage places. All you have to do is find the correct measurements.
