SWMBO has decreed that front door must be replaced with a fiberglass
one. After I don't know how many hours shopping for one she has
narrowed it down to 3 different brands and styles. Knowing absolutely
nothing about these doors and finding very little of any use on the
web except manufacturers/vendors ramblings and a few bitter homeowners
comments, I decided to place the question to you. Are there any known
problems or support issues with the following: Pella, Therma-Tru or
Benchmark by Thermatru? The price of all are very similar and to my
untrained eye the doors appear very similar. I would appreciate any
and all constructive comments.


You usually can't go wrong with Pella products. All things being
equal, I would check out and compare all the warranties.

Should have mentioned the warranties - all lifetime. Also should have
mentioned location - Eastern North Carolina.


They all appear to be quality doors. I would next check the specifications
for each door regarding heat range of exterior material, insulation value,
etc. Overall, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the choices,
but there might be variations in these characteristics. If they're
comparable, I'd go with the appearance that appeals most.
