Option 2 is look around at houses under construction, look for a place that is at the windows and doors stage, and talk to the guys doing the work. You might be able to find somebody who can do the job on the side. Just be forewarned that dealing with Joe Contractor does involve risks; and you would be better insulated from those risks by dealling with a bigger company like Pella.

Good advice. Rona sucks. Totem is much better. But I don't think you want to buy your doors there. Kinda funny that Rona owns Totem.
As for going to houses under construction at 'window and door stage', fyi, that is also known as framing stage. In other words, the builder orders the windows and doors and has them delivered the day that they get installed and it's the framer that pops them in.
I've been using Supreme and All Weather ('Windows and Doors') and as an FYI for how much builders pay, I recently had to replace the slab (just the actual door) in one of my projects and the slab alone was $800.
Are you just looking for the slab or are you wanting to replace the entire jamb?
