Replacing Front Door
Hi All, I’d like to replace our front door that is made of iron. Budget is minimal. Do you have any suggestions as to where to buy a new door and how to get it installed? Home Depot, Lowes, …? Should I get a composite vs wood? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Ashanaha,
Thanks for your input.
I am looking for a regular wood or composite door. The current iron door I have is depressing. What price range are we talking about for a Le Page Millwork wood door? Is it pre-hung? Do composite door usually last longer than a wood door?
Thanks.
Are you looking for an iron door or just a regular wood door? I’m a bit of a design purist and I’m not very favorable towards Lowes/HD or composite doors (they are cheap, don’t last long, and have tacky styles). I personally prefer wood doors that are more historically accurate or at least fit with the house. I recently purchased a Le Page Millwork wood door in a craftsman style. Having it installed next week. Its beautiful and will last for a very long time (longer than a cheap composite door). But you will pay a bit more for a wood door, so it may depend on how long you plan to stay in your home. Hope that helps.
