Entry Door Choices From Two Lines (options such as Therma-Tru, ProVia)
The front door deserves a different door than the one to the garage. Two lines from one supplier let you pick each door for its job and still get one delivery and one install.

Entry door choices from two lines means picking each exterior door on the house from the line that suits it, options such as Therma-Tru and ProVia, fiberglass or steel, primed or factory finished, and putting all of them on one order so they arrive together. JMB Builders brings samples from both lines to the measure and installs each door across the Twin Cities metro. Send photos and we reply within one business day, or book a free in-home estimate.

Most houses have two or three exterior doors doing different jobs. The front door is seen from the street and gets the glass, the color and the handleset. The back door takes the dog, the groceries and the weather off the deck. The door to the garage is a working door nobody looks at. Picking one line for all three means compromising on at least one of them.
Our supplier carries several entry door lines, so each door can come from the one that fits. Options such as Therma-Tru and ProVia both make fiberglass doors in smooth and woodgrain skins and steel doors for the plain openings; Masonite, Jeld-Wen and Plastpro are others on the shelf. The differences an owner notices are the glass designs, the stain and paint finishes offered from the factory, which sizes are stocked, and how a given style looks on your house. We bring samples from two lines to the measure so you see them against your siding.
Then every door goes on one order through ABC Supply so they arrive together, and they install as one job: each unit set on a sill pan, flashed, foamed, trimmed and locked the day it goes in. Painting of a primed door is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.

What JMB supplies
- Samples from two door lines at the measure, held against your siding
- One in-person measure of every door opening, with swing and jamb width
- Every door on one order through ABC Supply so they arrive together
- Removal of the old units, rot repair at the sill as found, sill pans and flashing
- Each door set plumb, foamed, trimmed inside and out, hardware fitted and adjusted
- Haul-away 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:
- Material per door: fiberglass vs. steel, smooth vs. woodgrain
- Glass: solid, half-lite, full-lite or decorative glass, which is built into the slab
- Finish: primed for paint vs. factory painted or stained
- Sidelites or a transom at the front door
- Stocked sizes vs. custom order, which changes the wait more than the price
- Hardware per door: handleset, deadbolt, smart lock or keyed alike across the house
- Rot at the sill or jamb feet found when the old door comes out
Send the sill close-ups. Rot at the bottom of the frame is the one thing that changes a door quote after the old unit is out, and the photo usually shows it.
How long it takes
A stocked door is days; a factory-finished or custom-glass door is weeks, written on the quote. The order ships together. Install is about a day per door in a sound opening, two or three doors over two days.

Situations and options
Fiberglass front, steel back and garage
A factory-finished fiberglass door with glass at the front, insulated steel doors painted to match at the back and the garage. The common three-door package.
Fiberglass everywhere, two lines
A woodgrain stained door at the front from one line, smooth painted fiberglass at the back from the other, both ordered together so the hardware finish matches.
Doors keyed alike
All the new deadbolts keyed to one key when the hardware comes from one family, written on the quote so one key opens the house.
Entry Door Choices From Two Lines (options such as Therma-Tru, ProVia): questions, answered
Should the front door and back door come from the same line?
Not necessarily. The front door is chosen for how it looks and the glass it carries; the back and garage doors are chosen to take weather and use. Options such as Therma-Tru and ProVia both make fiberglass and steel doors, and picking each door from the line that fits it costs nothing extra when they go on one order. The hardware finish is what should match.
What is the difference between Therma-Tru and ProVia doors for a homeowner?
Both make fiberglass entry doors in smooth and woodgrain skins and steel doors, with glass designs, paint and stain finishes and sidelites. What an owner notices is the glass patterns offered, the factory finish colors, which sizes are stocked, and how a style looks on the house. We bring samples from both to the measure rather than describe it.
Can doors from two lines be delivered and installed together?
Yes. Both lines come through our supplier, so the doors go on one order through ABC Supply and ship together when the longest lead time is met. The install is one job: each door set on a sill pan, flashed, trimmed and locked the day it goes in, two or three doors over a day or two.
Should a back door be steel or fiberglass?
Steel is the value choice for a door that gets used and painted. Fiberglass resists dents and takes sun and wet better, so a back door that faces south or west or opens onto a deck in the weather is often worth fiberglass. Either way it is set on a sill pan with flashing, which matters more at a back door than the skin does.
Can all the new exterior doors use one key?
When the deadbolts come from one hardware family, yes, they can be keyed alike so one key opens every door. We write it on the quote and fit the hardware at the install. A smart lock on the front door can still share the key with the others as its backup.
Do the doors come painted or do I paint them?
Either. Both lines offer factory paint or stain finishes on fiberglass, and primed doors for paint. A factory finish arrives done and gets trimmed; a primed door is painted after it is hung. Painting is quoted as a separate line, or leave it primed and caulked and paint it yourself.
