Replacing the front door of your home is arguably the most valuable >(yet expensive) home improvement project. Not only is the main entry door of your home the main focal point of the structure, it’s also the most frequently used part of your home, making it more susceptible to wear and tear. For these reasons, many homeowners prioritize front door replacements when their old when isn’t getting the job done anymore. Installing a new front door isn’t just practical, it increases curb appeal, adds functionality and results in energy efficiency gains.
The price of a home improvement project is typically a hot button topic for homeowners. Budget is always a concern, and for good reason. Homeowners don’t typically take on projects they can’t afford, and that’s why working out a budget for your front door replacement is so important. We want you to reap the benefits of a new entry door without any sort of financial strain.
Know the Material Options Available
There are so many different materials to choose from when selecting your new front door. If you’re going for a classic, vintage look, a solid wood door is a great option. For a more modern or customized look, steel and fiberglass are wise choices. Each material will have its own benefits and varying price tags.
Before you do any serious research, we recommend having a firm idea of what you’d like to spend. When there’s a price limit on the table from the get-go, we’ll immediately be able to guide you to doors that won’t only suit your needs, but fit within your budget.
Get Quotes for Professional Installation
Along with creating a budget for the actual door, it’s also important to get various quotes for the front door installation. The quality of the installation is equally as important as the door, so this is a step you definitely don’t want to skip. In order to get the most out of your new door, it must be fully sealed and airtight, eliminating any worry of drafts and leakage.
