Hey guys. I want to order some new front doors, or door with side lights for my house. Before I buy from HD or lowes, can anyone tell me of another good supplier here in the treasure valley?

Thank you.

We just had 3 exterior doors changed out, two double doors one single. We went through Viewpoint. Doors are Thermatru. Not super high end but quality seems pretty good. We also upgraded on the locksets with 3 point locks.

I got a couple other estimates and the prices vary wildly. I removed and replaced all interior and exterior trim so I can't comment on their installers finish quality. A couple minor things came up and the installer kind of had an "if you find it I'll fix it" attitude. I would guess that's an industry standard in the trades these days. Would I use them again? Yeah probably but I'd watchdog the shit out of them.

Thanks Brother.
I will look into them.
A question for you... how long did it take to get the doors once you picked them?

It was about 2 weeks from order to call for install, another couple days to get schedules aligned. One of the double doors was right out in the wind and weather so I had to work around that. Not an off the shelf in stock fit like you might get with the big box stores. Overall, especially the one out in the wind and weather, which is also the master bedroom, we almost can't hear the wind when it's howling like it does.

Pretty good doors, OK price, attentive service, adequate installation, which is probably the most important aspect. Time will tell, winter might change my mind about viewpoint.
