Lincoln Door and Window Package Pricing

A few weeks ago I rationalized not doing *three* folding patio doors on the western elevation due to being in Climate Zone 6 and a shit-ton of giant 🦟🦟🦟.

After getting feedback from my hair stylist that we *should* do three folding patio doors — Nikki: "Bring the outside fully in!" — we pivoted and submitted our window and door package to Lincoln last week.

Now I have a new rationalization for not doing three folding patio doors on the western elevation: price.

Each one of these 10' x 7' folding patio doors is $14,332.70 (including the screen). In haircut math, that's ~286 of them (including tip). That's roughly 24 years of my wife butchering my hair in the den with a Conair w/#5 attachment, Covid-style. For one folding patio door with a screen. Nikki, I'll see you on Saturday at 1.

The rest of the pricing is in the table below, and it's all pretty reasonable. I've researched a bunch of window and door options and landed on Lincoln for the following reasons:

  • It's based in Merrill, WI. Merrill is on the way to the MVC. We can pick this order up on a trailer.
  • It's based in Merrill, WI. It's important to me to support either the MN or WI economy.
  • Good value. If price was no object, we'd probably go with H out of Ashland (WI), but Lincoln beats H on value.
  • Good vibes. I toured the facility about 18 months ago and the place and people were classic Wisconsin laid back.
  • Good recommendation. An architectural power couple — that's *way* out of our price range — lives 6 doors down and they're using Lincoln on a couple of projects. That alone is good enough for me.
  • They have what we want. We love the folding patio doors, the casement windows, the cladding and paint options, the grill profiles, and the hardware.
