Hey Guys,
I have had two different contractors come out and quote me $5,000+ to install a new patio door (french door, 2 panel, in-swing, with a ~1 foot transom). One was Case (Fred Division) and the other was Nova Exteriors.
I just realized that both quotes were for CUSTOM, one was Provia and the other was Therma-Tru.
I am trying to figure out WHY everyone is quoting custom doors vs. standard size doors (and is the practice legit, or are they padding profits?). I only have minimal requirements, I am not asking for any crazy features.
I will post a picture soon, and measurements too of course. I've asked my latest contractor for more information on why custom was needed.
Thanks,
Drew
