ProVia Embarq fiberglass entry door replacement puts in ProVia's thickest fiberglass door: a slab noticeably deeper than a standard entry door, built as a complete unit with its own frame and seals, in smooth or woodgrain skins with factory stain or paint. It is the ProVia door for a cold, exposed entry. JMB Builders measures, orders through ABC Supply and installs across the Twin Cities. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.
- Priced per door, Embarq door and frame included
- ProVia's thickest fiberglass slab
- Smooth or woodgrain, factory stain or paint
Most entry doors are the same thickness, give or take. ProVia's Embarq is built thicker, with more insulating core inside the fiberglass skins and a frame, sill and weatherstrip made for that depth. The extra thickness is the point: more material between a Minnesota winter and your hallway, and a heavier door in the hand. It is sold as a complete unit, slab and frame together, so the seals are designed for each other rather than adapted.
Skins come smooth for paint or in woodgrain textures for stain, with ProVia's factory stains and paints. Glass is available in half-lite, three-quarter and full designs, with decorative, privacy and clear options, and sidelites and transoms are built to match. Hardware is ordered with the door in the finish you pick. Every Embarq is made to order for the opening.
A thicker door changes the install. The jamb is deeper, the sill is its own design, and the hinges carry a heavy slab, so the opening has to be plumb and the sill dead level or the door will not seal evenly. We measure the opening and the wall depth, order through ABC Supply, our supplier, and install: old door and frame out, rot repaired, sill pan, flashing, the unit set and shimmed at every hinge, foamed and trimmed. We are the installer; options such as ProVia Signet and Therma-Tru Classic-Craft can sit on the same quote.

- The ProVia Embarq door unit, ordered through ABC Supply to that opening
- A quote with the door, the install, any rot repair and any painting on separate lines
- Removal and haul-away of the old door, frame and threshold
- Rot repair at the sill, jamb feet or subfloor, quoted from what we find
- Sill pan, flashing tape, shims at every hinge, long screws into the framing, low-expansion foam, backer rod and sealant
- Strike, sill and weatherstrip adjusted so the heavy slab seals evenly, and your hardware installed
- Exterior trim and interior casing, primed and caulked, and photos in your job folder
How it is priced: per door
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- Smooth vs. woodgrain skin, and factory stain vs. paint
- Glass in the door, and sidelites or a transom with it
- Hardware: a standard set vs. a handle set or multipoint lock
- Rot at the sill, jamb bottoms or subfloor
- Wall depth and any jamb extension the thicker unit needs
- Siding type at the opening: lap, stucco or brick
- Painting the new casing, quoted as a separate line
Send a photo of the sill and one of the door edge with a tape against it. Wall depth matters more on an Embarq than on a standard door.
How long it takes
One Embarq door in a sound opening: about a day on site. Rot repair or sidelites add time. Lead time depends on the order and is written on the quote.

Situations and options
Embarq on a north-facing front door
The thick slab and matched seals on the entry that takes the wind. Solid or a small lite with privacy glass keeps the most door between you and the cold.
Embarq with sidelites and a transom
The sidelites and transom are built to the same depth and finish as the door, so the whole entry arrives as one unit, framed and sealed together.
Woodgrain Embarq, factory stained
A woodgrain skin in one of ProVia's factory stains, so the door arrives finished and looks like a stained wood door without the upkeep.
ProVia Embarq Fiberglass Entry Door Replacement: questions, answered
What is the ProVia Embarq door?
It is ProVia's thickest fiberglass entry door, built with a deeper slab and more insulating core than a standard door, and sold as a complete unit with a frame, sill and weatherstrip designed for that depth. It comes smooth or woodgrain, with factory stain or paint, and is made to order.
How is Embarq different from the ProVia Signet door?
Signet is ProVia's premium fiberglass door at a standard thickness, with the widest choice of woodgrains and stains. Embarq is thicker, with a frame and seals built for the heavier slab. Both are made to order and both can have sidelites and transoms. We price them side by side when you are deciding.
Does a thicker door need a different frame?
Yes. Embarq comes as its own unit with a frame, sill and weatherstrip made for the slab, so the door and frame are not mixed and matched. The jamb is deeper, and we check the wall depth at the measure so the casing lands right inside.
Can the Embarq door have glass?
Yes. Half-lite, three-quarter and full-lite designs with decorative, privacy or clear glass, plus matching sidelites and a transom. On a cold entry many owners keep the glass small or choose privacy glass so more of the door is insulated slab.
Does the Embarq door come painted or stained?
Either, from the factory. Smooth skins take ProVia's paint colors and woodgrain skins take its stains, so the door arrives finished. If you want a color ProVia does not offer, order it unfinished and painting is quoted as a separate line.
Who orders and installs the Embarq door?
We do. The opening and wall depth are measured in person, the door is ordered through ABC Supply to that opening, and our crew installs it. ProVia sells through distributors, not home centers. If you already ordered an Embarq, we install it labor only.
