Installing a new front door may be classified as a simple home improvement project in the grand scheme of things, but it’s a highly effective way to enhance your home’s exterior. Beyond aesthetic appeal, replacing your front door can significantly increase a home’s energy efficiency and security.
Installing a new front door is an economical home improvement project that substantially increases a home’s curb appeal. When it comes to first impressions of a home, the aesthetics of the front entry is a primary factor taken into consideration. Even if on selling the home is not on the horizon, a new front door speaks volumes to visitors and passersby as it is often the focal point of a home. Plus, you have the luxury of selecting from a multitude of customizable options when you’re in the market for a new front door, from materials and colors, to styles and add-ons.
On one end of the spectrum, the project could be as basic as installing a new door that sports a fresh, trendy color while staying in line with the style and design of the home’s existing front door. On the other end of the spectrum, the project could be as elaborate as building a new front entry altogether, complete with a new front door, lights, an overhang, and/or an enlarged porch.
Efficiency is a major benefit when installing a new front entry door because it equates to money saved. Older doors, particularly those made from wood, wear out over time. For instance, you may notice chips, cracks, warping, and as we’re approaching colder weather, drafts coming right through your existing front door. In this instance, you’re not only losing heat, but you’re losing money too. Often times, your home’s energy bills will drastically spike as a direct result of a draft in your home. A new front entry door coupled with new framing will effectively solve this problem by eliminating any drafts stemming from the front entry.
