Benefits of Replacing Your Old Entry Door

Your front door is the first thing visitors come into contact with before entering your home. The color, style, material and size of your front door should compliment the rest of your home’s features and facade. Although it isn’t often a front door needs to be replaced, homeowners should keep in mind that entry doors are still subject to your standard wear and tear. At Seacoast Replacement Windows, we replace entry doors for homeowners for a variety of reasons. No matter what your reason is for replacing your front door, there are always the same benefits.

Benefits of Replacing Your Front Door

1. Improved Aesthetics. Instead of replacing your vinyl siding or installing a front porch, perhaps all you need to do to improve your home’s look is replace your front door. Entry door replacement is an affordable and fast home makeover that Seacoast Replacement Windows can provide for you at a competitive price that is guaranteed to boost the curb appeal of your home. There are dozens of colors and staining options to choose from that will match any type of existing home facade.
2. Increased Security. Cheap wooden doors are just waiting to be broken into. Seacoast Replacement Windows wants New Hampshire residents to feel safe and secure within their homes, which is why we always recommend a more sturdy steel door with a colored finish. These steel exterior doors are durable and rust resistant. With the addition of a lock and bolt system, intruders would be hard pressed to try and get through.
3. Better Technology. Improved entry door technology means you don’t have to opt for a traditional lock-and-key system. There is now a wide variety of entry door lock systems to choose from, including push pad codes, smartphone remote lock systems, and more. Seacoast Replacement Windows does not provide electronic lock systems, but we can help recommend the perfect type of door for these locks upon request.
4. Increased Energy Efficiency. Lowering your energy bills doesn’t just come from turning the heat down or the AC off; replacing your warped entry door can also improve your home’s overall energy efficiency. Well-insulated doors help better regular the indoor air temperature and will even prevent bugs or rodents from entering your home.
5. More Accessibility. Many of our customers have had to replace their entry doors to accommodate changes in their lifestyle. For instance, families with young children may need a larger, more accessible door which can fit a stroller through the threshold. Other customers have requested front door replacement service to accommodate wheel chairs. Everything from zero-clearance thresholds to levered door handles can make a huge difference.
6. Light & Privacy Control. If your front hall entryway is dark or feels cavernous, a front door with windows is a great option to brighten the room and make the space more inviting. On the contrary, if you have an oriental rug in your front hall that you can not afford to have damaged by the sun’s UV rays, then replacing your door with windows to one that does not have windows would be a wise decision. Seacoast Replacement Windows offers front doors with a variety of window options, including privacy glass, so that you can control the amount of light and privacy.
