MORE THAN A REPLACEMENT. It's an upgrade!

Is now the time to replace your front door?

Swap out your current front door in favor of one that not only looks better from the curb, but also functions better day to day. Everyone knows the importance of making a good first impression. Yes, that’s advice for first dates and job interviews, but it also applies to home design and remodeling. And while curb appeal depends on many factors, the front door is the focal point of the facade and trumps the others in terms of importance. 

Signs That It's Time to Replace the Front Door of Your Home

1. There's Space Under or Around Your Doors. ...
2. Your Front Door is Damaged. ...
3. The Lock on Your Front Door Is Not Locking Properly. ...
4. Your Doors are Hard to Open. ...
5. Your Energy Bills Are Increasing. ...
6. Your Door Is just not curb appeal.

Of course, deciding to replace the front door isn’t the only choice to be made. Exterior doors differ in size, architectural style, and accessories. They also differ in material, and for many homeowners, differentiating between wood, fiberglass, and steel often ends up being the most challenging part of the process. Selecting one is a matter of your budget, and of weighing the pros and cons of each material.

A new front door is one of the best improvements you can make, as it offers a potential return on investment of around 75%. A return on investment, or ROI, means you'll get back about 75% of what you spent on your new entry door in the form of your home's increased value. You might think it’s easy to pick your door style, but it’s not. It’s true that most doors have only a single panel, but there can be many more components. When you want more sunlight, you can do this with glass panel(s) built into the main door panel. You can also add narrow glass panels on one or both sides of the door, or when your home won’t accommodate that big of a change, you might be able to add a transom over the door.

From entryway doors and patio doors to back, side, and basement doors, exterior doors can serve several different purposes. Yet many homeowners often consider three main things when selecting a replacement door – security, protection from the elements, and overall style. EER offers many different exterior door options, styles & colors to choose from.
