This is a brand called Electric Mirror. There are other edge-lit LED manufacturers, but we had to go with the specific brand because Mr. fell in love with the mirror that had a TV in it when we stayed at the Fairmont hotel built for the Olympic Games in Vancouver many years ago. Mr. declared that we had to have one in our House1… 
I hunted down the manufacturer and had a local showroom sell us one… they were not selling to the public yet, just to the pros, but agreed to deliver one for us. The mirrors are locally made, just about 30 (?) miles north of Seattle. Fast forward, we will be installing 2 smaller mirrors in our current digs. Got them from the same showroom, but they are now widely available at many bath supplies places.
It’s possible to have white grout that stays white over time. Just insist on epoxy grout. The tile setters don’t like working with it because it sets up very fast and is messy to work with, so they’ll charge a little extra. It’s well worth it.
I did it myself, @sherpa - regrouted the shower in our House1 with epoxy grout. Here is my “pro” tip. Do not do this on a warm day. Epoxy curing time is inversely proportionate of temperature; the lower the temperature, the longer it takes to cure. I picked a cool winter day for this ungodly job, opened all windows in the bath and turned out the heat. When I was done with grouting our 7 foot shower with lots of grout lines on the shower floor, I bumped the heat back up. Worked like a charm!
Has anyone heard of Endure ProVia sliding patio doors? A contractor was recommended at work and these are the doors he suggests. TIA
@busyparent have never heard of that manufacturer. It may be a regional line of patio doors
Never heard of that either! That said, our neighbors got their windows from some local maker, and they seems to be very happy.
Uh oh.
Any company that has to cite a religious text in introducing itself is out for me. Ymmv.
On Chinese quartz… the cheap ship might have sailed. At least for now:

Thanks for the feedback. The bid was $12k to replace 3 sliding doors.
Fascinating that the tariffs were placed on Chinese Quartz but not the granite pre fabricated slabs that are also brought in. I guess they cannot tariff natural stone because it really isnt a unique product
All i know is quartz may soon become the most expensive countertop material. I’ll have to scavange through my guy’s yard and start buying up his remnants and reserve them
$12k for 3 vinyl doors? Just a replacement, no framing work? @coralbrook will likely say “get more bids”. We paid $10k to replace 2 giant skywall windows with custom floor to ceiling, fiberglass Milgard windows. The project also included demolition of the failed skywall and some reframing on that side of the house. It was a 2 dudes, 3 day non-stop work project.
$12k seems like a lot to me too. We had 6 sets of sliders and 1 door replaced with hurricane proof doors a few years ago. We used a local company that had great reviews from my friends who are in the building business. The whole thing cost us just around $20,000.
The fabricator came out to measure for my quartz counters today. Normally he can turn them around in a few days but because I want the mitered edge he said it would take 2-3 weeks. 
Oh well, we just love that look so I guess we will be doing the dishes in the bathroom sink for another few weeks.
I have no idea what size your sliding patio doors are, or the local region building costs. But a good quality dual pane locking vinyl sliding door in standard color runs about 1,000 for a 6ft door. That means they are charging about $10,000 in labor for 1 1/2 days of work. It should take two guys and they do need to haul off the old doors and debris. Sounds like highway robbery to me if you are just retrofitting or replacing existing doors
I suggest you go online to Home Depot or Lowe’s and search for Jeld Wen or Milgard vinyl patio doors in your size. Then you will be equipped with the knowledge of how much the door should cost
Here’s the highest quality Jeld Wen
I goggled ProVia sliding patio doors and see some of the models have wood interiors. When I was dong my addition I wanted wood sliders as I had replaced all the old wood windows in my house with new wood windows and wanted the same look for the addition. My contractor told me wood sliders would blow a huge hole in my $120k budget! So, I took his advice and went with vinyl sliders. I did vinyl windows in the three big windows in the addition, too.
Our Milgard windows I mentioned above are wood-clad on the inside, and that $10k also included replacing a failed windowpane in the laundry room. Wow that was a good deal.
Major setback with our tile… came from the store with boxes of tile making sure the dye lot was the same… oops. The tile is a new lot and looks washed out compared to the sample we brought home! And the old lot is all gone! I physically checked 2 stores 50 miles or so apart! Back to the drawing board.
When I replaced all my windows (wood clad on inside) it was also about 10k, iirc. But i also put in a huge bay window to replace a picture window. New window was significantly bigger so required more work than just simple replacement. That window alone was $5k. So $15k in total. The cost of my windows were also with contractor discount. My windows are Harvey and they only sell to contractors/builders.
The egress window we had to put in the basement to bring it up to code when we finished it was also $5k, but that cost was mostly labor as excavating was involved.
I only know what my project manager told me about the wood sliders. He always has been very honest about what things will cost and if it’s in line with my budget or not. So when he told me about the wood sliders being extremely expensive, I took his advice and went with the vinyl.
Patio is coming along. The gravel has been laid down on main part, but he needs to bring in a bit more to make it perfectly level. And I’ve decided to have garden beds put in surrounding it, gently sloping down into the lawn with stepping stones to lawn. No works been done yet on the large stone path which will lead from the gate to the patio.
After it’s finished the only thing left to be done on my house is a new garage door - which my hubby has been wanting done for years. I’ve given him name of company and their phone number a dozen times but he still hasn’t made the call. Since there is nothing wrong with our present door I told him if it’s so important to him he can take charge of it (except I get to have veto power over his choice of door.)
Emily, I don’t question your contractor’s statements. Just wanted to add the missing parts about our $10k project. Looks like it was a great deal for us! I would never get all wood sliders… not in our climate! They will turn into mush in no time or will need constant repaintings. Been there with two gorgeous French patio doors that rotted despite being under roof overhangs. No thanks.
Our project is a replace of sliders that currently are in place so no extra framing. Will check out HD. Thanks for the advice
Good luck with the project, @busyparent !
We have a solid wood front door under a 6’ overhang, it’s fine; about 10-12’ away we have a set of solid wood French doors under a standard overhang. They are showing damage to the wood every year, despite being on the more protected side of the house, they still get too wet in the PNW. If the doors are on the same so close and visible together, with what should we replace the wooden french doors?
