That varies greatly on the size of the order, materials, and complexity. Generally we have a minimum order for custom doors of around $3000 to cover setup time, design, shipping and handling. As the number of doors per order increases the price drops due to economics of scale. Generally our interior door slabs start at around $1000 and our exteriors at $2500 in addition to setup and base fees. Solid wood flooring starts is around $10-15 per square foot and engineered is $15-20. Every bid is different, though, so it should be priced with all options before assuming you know the final cost. Make sure to bid the entire project including doors, flooring, and anything you can imagine sourcing from us. That will get you the best pricing when combining orders to save. Essentially the greater the quantity than the lower the price per item. Also please see our answer below about which products we may stock.
We understand budgets and will make value engineering suggestions. Usually we will look at a project and make recommendations to get the most "bang for your buck" such as where to cut on the budget or spend a little more because it is worth the extra cost. Also we should never be the low price leader because of our quality and unique product. If you are only price driven, it just does not make sense to use our products. For small orders your best price is going to be an item from our online store or clearance page. If you are doing other millwork, trim and floors with us it will also help bring down some costs. Consider reducing the total number of doors ordered for the house to maybe just a few key doors like the entry and the obvious ones in the main living areas. On the other hand, if you are looking for the lowest average price per door larger orders with multiple doors of the same design get our best pricing per door due to economics of scale.
No. Our pricing is the same for everybody. We are the manufacturer, and we sell direct to the buyer. The main method to lower pricing is greater volume within an order. This lowers our average costs per item such as shipping and setup time on the order. If you become a repeat customer and regularly order the same item we can carry that in inventory for you and negotiate a discounted rate.
We have two different broad categories for pricing. One are the items available in stock in our online store. These ship anywhere in the lower 48 states with free shipping. Sometimes if you are able to do a different payment option than credit card on these items we can pass on a small discount. For our custom orders we figure pricing based on the customer's location and details of item ordered; credit card processing will be additional on these items. Custom items are the easiest place for customers in the trade to get better pricing by combining orders and ordering in bulk if they plan to resell.
We appreciate the repeat business, but unless a firm written estimate is provided prior to all shipments, each new order has separate pricing. With both online store stock items and custom orders do NOT assume that your pricing is fixed and you will always receive the same pricing. Our costs and lead times frequently fluctuate.
Quantity price breaks for online store items apply only to items shipped at one time in one order. If you need to reorder a smaller quantity at a later date, you will not receive the same higher quantity price break. Any special sorting for color, texture or size will always increase the price. As a rule of thumb the way to get the best negotiated pricing from us is to order in advance and ship as much quantity as you can use in one order.
This is a great option if you can make it work. You might save money initially, if you find the right style, and this is one of the purest forms of recycling. However, keep in mind the hidden costs involved in this route; cost of redesign on plans to fit the doors you have sourced, refinishing and hanging the doors can be complicated and costly with both labor and materials. In addition, many of these older doors you might have to deal with lead-paint and other environmental issues with refinishing. These are some benefits with our doors: we can make any size, we can repeat a pattern at a later date if you want to add to the order, perfectly square and flat, you can put matching hardware on, can match throughout the home, you may save labor and install costs, you won’t have to scrape or strip of old finish, can be customized in any way you like, and we offer a warranty.
