Patio Door recommendations

10 years ago

We are planning on replacing our sliding patio door with a hinged french door. We are planning on going with a Fiberglass door due to its lower required maintenance.

I am looking for some feedback on various brands in terms of their durability and customer service when it comes to honoring their warranties.

The brands that I am considering are: Masonite, Jeld-Wen and Feather River.

If we go with either Masonite or Feather River, we would be getting them installed by Home Depot. So, any feedback on Home Depot would also be appreciated. Thanks you.

Do yourself a favor and stay away form all of the brands you mentioned above. Post this to the window forum and ask there you will get sound advice there (from me and others).

ECMGuy, please do repost,, I'll be following the thread as I literally could've written it myself. Thanks!

Good luck, hope we hear some good advice...

I was also wondering about Therma Tru, I got a pretty low quote from a local window/door shop for a Therma true fiberglass hinged patio door.
