5 Reasons You Should Upgrade Your Entry Door
As a guest in someone's home, we've all seen it from time to time. You know, that entry door that seems like it was built specifically for Arthur Fonzarelli of “Happy Days,” otherwise known as “the Fonz.”
“You have to push against the frame, then jiggle the key while twisting it counterclockwise just slightly, then once you feel a slight click, quickly turn the key in the other direction. It’s easy.”
Not everyone wants to solve a puzzle every time they open their front door. The truth is, your entry door is like a person's eyes; it's the window to the soul of your home! If it's in disrepair or has simply seen better days, then it might be time for an upgrade. If you're still not convinced, here are a few more reasons why.
Increase Your Home’s Security
A new entry door allows you to choose a more robust door that is both durable and secure. We've seen too many houses that have front doors that have shifted so much (usually from humidity) that they no longer consistently lock. A brand-new entry door will fit the frame perfectly, and give you the exact amount of security that you want, whether that means two deadbolts, a peephole, or a myriad of other options to put you at ease.
Improve Your Energy Efficiency
A new door, when properly installed, will fit your home perfectly and be well insulated along the edges where your old door might have failed. If you can feel every stiff breeze that blows over your home in the wintertime, then it's safe to say that your front door isn't really doing its job.
Your Old Door Is No Longer Cutting It
Sometimes there’s nothing actually wrong with your door, so much as you’re tired of the way it looks. Whether you’re sick of the cheap vinyl door you inherited and want to replace it with something grander, or you’ve done so many exterior renovations that your old door no longer fits the style, we’ll help you choose a door that perfectly complements your home.
Renewed Curb Appeal
A new door can go a long way toward your curb appeal. Replacing your door can give your entire home a facelift. Not only will a new entry door completely revitalize your exterior, but it’s a fairly simple project that can be done in a single day.
Easily Enhance Your Home Value
All of these reasons have one thing in common; they increase your home value. Your entry door is the first impression. First impressions have a lot to do with how others will value your home. Your home value could increase dramatically, especially if you’re replacing a door that was an eyesore.
