Replacing doors

8 years ago

A hinge mount door stop punched a hole in my powder room door, which is a cheap molded door. The house is new construction, a year and a half old. We didn't choose anything, it was a last minute move.

I would really like to replace it with a pretty wood door. It's a great location to be a focal point. My dilemma is the garage door, which isn't on the same wall, but in line of sight. I would like to replace both so they echo the same flat panel style, but they don't have to be exactly the same because I plan to paint the garage door. However, I will repeat the style of the garage door on the pantry, which is on the same floor, at some point. I haven't decided if I'll replace the pantry door now, or wait until I decide if I want to get rid of the sliding glass doors, which have been on my list since before this happened but aren't realistic to do right away. I would like to do something like one of these, or a combination, which fits well with the style of my home. Haven't decided on wood species yet.

After looking around online, I realized most of the garage fire doors have the molded look to them, and even those seem like they might blow my budget. Am I looking in the wrong places? What manufacturers should I consider? I'm not looking for super custom, just a decent upgrade from super cheap molded doors. I was thinking a few hundred for the wood door, less for the garage door (which now doesn't seem realistic), and significantly less for the pantry door (which I might replace later but will also be painted). I'm going to both a lumberyard and a door/window place this week, but I was hoping to have a clear budget in mind.

Frames are new and I would prefer not to replace, but I'm not opposed if I really need to.

Suggestions about where to start?
