Are wood entry doors that bad of an idea?
I have a 90 year old home with a solid wood entry door that is showing its considerable age. I’d love to replace it with a custom solid wood entry door with a similar configuration, something like this https://www.doors.com/products/dsa-doors-louisburg-e-01-36x80-louisburg-mahogany-entry-door-with-clear-beveled-low-e-glass-80-glass-wood-exterior?view=pdp-ab-config-1st-expand .
Multiple contractors now have refused to install a wood entry door and have tried to insist that pro via fiberglass doors are the same but way better. I’m pretty surprised at how much push back I have gotten on something as simple as a wood entry door. And I don’t hate fiberglass or pro via doors - I have one on the back of my house and it’s fine - I just really like the idea of a solid wood door out front. Price is not an issue, and I keep going back to the idea that the wood door that is currently there has been there for 90 years so how bad can it be? Anything I’m missing that makes a solid wood entry door a terrible mistake?
