The front door to your home is so much more than just an entrance. It signifies the level of security for your property, adds curb appeal to your home, can improve energy efficiency, and adds value when it comes time to sell. No matter the size, style, or color you choose, a new front door can be beneficial to your property.
One of the professional services we offer at Liberty Painting and Siding is window and door replacement. We have seen the transformation that a front, side, and back door can have on a residence.
Let’s explore 4 reasons why you may want to replace your front door (or any other interior or exterior door) this spring or summer.
A Renewed Sense of Security
Doors and windows are not just for aesthetics; they are what stands between your family and an intruder. If these access points are not working properly or are unable to open or close easily, they may be a vulnerability in terms of security.
Depending upon the materials used (steel, fiberglass, composite, or wood) and the locking mechanisms installed, your home may either be fortified or be a weakness in the home’s overall security.
Modern doors have a variety of lock options, from standard bolts to keypad entry systems, as well as new mechanisms that help fortify your home.
Improved Energy Efficiency
If it’s been more than a decade since your front door or windows were replaced, you may want to consider more modern options not just for the security of your home, but also for energy efficiency as well.
Newer doors tend to have improved insulation than older models. Additionally, depending on the style and material, you may find that your energy bills actually decrease with the installation of a steel or fiberglass door compared to a wood door.
Improved Curb Appeal
Homeowners care about the aesthetics of their homes, but homeowners who are preparing to sell their property have a heightened reason to replace the doors.
Entryway doors are one of the first things home buyers look at when examining a home for purchase. What message does your door send to those potential buyers? Does it depict a clean and sturdy home? Or does it look like the home has not been maintained and is in need of some work?
Your front door sends a message of what buyers can expect from the interior of the home just by looking at the level of curb appeal on the outside.
Return on Investment
Is a new door worth the investment? According to real estate agents, absolutely. A 2018 analysis by Zillow found that black or charcoal gray front doors had the greatest positive impact on home value. They also explain that the return on investment for a new entryway door sits at 75% which is a great way to improve your home without fear that it will not be worth the value.
