If you’re shopping for a front door for your home, we highly suggest you check out ProVia doors. These doors, which you can come see in person in our Cary, NC door store, are beautiful, durable, and a great value. But, many homeowners have never heard of ProVia.
If you also haven’t heard of this Ohio based door manufacturer, here are the Top 3 reasons to fall in love with ProVia doors.
Who is ProVia
Ohio-based ProVia is a leading manufacturer of windows, doors, vinyl siding, and manufactured stone.
Founded in 1977, the company has developed a reputation for offering high-quality products, a wide array of customization options, and a commitment to energy efficiency.
They have been awarded the ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award several times, and they have also been recognized by J.D. Power for their customer satisfaction ratings.
What Sets ProVia Doors Apart
If you search online for reviews of ProVia doors, you’ll find lots of feedback about the wide array of customization options available.
You’ll also see lots of praise for the sturdy materials used in ProVia’s doors.
While we certainly agree with these reviewers, and appreciate these aspects of ProVia’s door line, we wanted to share a more detailed review based on factors that the average homeowners may not recognize.
We believe that ProVia’s true quality is in these small but critical details, and this is what sets them apart from the majority of other door manufacturers.
1. Factory Built Doors
Many doors are produced as a series of parts and pieces by the manufacturer. These parts and pieces are then sent to a distributor, whose teams assemble the doors and prepare them for shipping.
Though this is the industry standard, you can probably imagine that this process results in some loss and damage along the way. That means that homeowners may receive damaged materials or be missing critical parts when they go install their new front door.
ProVia makes their doors differently. Each ProVia door is fully built by the ProVia team at their factory. This makes for a tight quality control, consistent manufacturing process.
The doors are heavily engineered in a good way, and with a goal of easing installation. This includes a self-leveling system, marks for screws, and a built in process to hide screws after installation.
This makes ProVia doors the easiest in the industry to install, and some of the best looking once installed.
2. Excellent Shipping Standards
Because their doors are built exclusively in-house, ProVia manages their own logistics. They ship their own products in a company owned fleet driven by employees who work for ProVia. This ensures care, consistency, and accountability throughout the shipping process.
But, what impresses us most about their logistics operation is the extreme care that ProVia takes in packaging their doors.
This is how most doors arrive at our warehouse. You can see that much of the door is exposed. You can probably imagine that a door transported in this condition may arrive scratched, dented, or otherwise damaged (and you’d be right).
By contrast, this is how ProVia doors arrive. The door is completely boxed and braced.
Of course there are no guarantees, but this shipping standard does wonders to reduce materials arriving damaged or with missing parts and pieces.
3. Best-in-Industry Warranty
We’ve never seen a door warranty as comprehensive as ProVia’s.*
Their entry doors are generally covered by a lifetime warranty that is transferable should you sell your home (or purchase a new home with a ProVia entry door).
There’s also a 20-year-warranty against seal failure for doors containing glass; this is unheard of in the door industry!
*You should always confirm the details of your own door warranty.
A Door Expert’s Honest Review of ProVia Doors
ProVia doors are exceptionally well-made. They meet the most stringent energy efficiency standards, and are designed to last.
The care that the company takes during manufacturing and shipping is what sets them apart from other companies in the industry.
We don’t worry about a ProVia door arriving damaged or incorrectly built. It simply doesn’t happen.
What does happen is that our customers and our installation team alike continue to be impressed by the quality of ProVia doors.
This level of quality and craftsmanship does come at moderately premium price. However, we can’t argue that the price is very fair for the quality you get in a ProVia door.
We’ve started making the analogy that choosing a ProVia door is like buying a meal at Chick-Fil-A.
You won’t be getting the cheapest meal in town; if you’re looking for the least expensive lunch off the ‘dollar special menu’, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
But, if you’re willing to spend a bit more for a well-made, reliable product delivered with excellent customer service, you’ll find it in a ProVia door.
