I want to replace our entire exterior door (frame, transom, etc) because it was done poorly. It currently lets in drafts, noise (hollow door) and transom is only single pane. I live on a street where there’s constant noise of buses and people that come right in through the door. Any suggestions on type of exterior door that can address noise as well as weatherizing concerns? Have been steered towards ThermaTru. And just as important, any recs on WHO can professionally, reliably advise/install the entire door system?
Thanks!

We normally install rough structural frame as plumb and square as possible, then finish frame inside that.
We normally find that the hard stuff (getting the frame strong and straight) is easier than expected, but the trim and moulding install is more involved and time consuming, but it makes the biggest difference in the elegance of the end result.
