Time to Replace Your Door

Is your front door looking a bit weathered and outdated? Looking for a reason to upgrade? Look no further.

Why Replace?

While your door may still be functional, there are a variety of reasons that it would be a good idea to upgrade it.

• Upgraded Security: While that old wooden door may close and lock, that doesn’t necessarily mean its secure. An old wooden door, one that has survived through many cold New England winters, may have accumulated water damage over the years that hurts its structural integrity.  Replacing it with a newer wooden door, or potentially a metal one, would leave your home more secure.
• More energy-efficient: An old door may no longer keep the elements out the same way a new door would. The frame of the door could be letting in a draft, or perhaps its coming from a gap between the door and the threshold.  Either way, replacing the old door and frame can tighten the seal around the door, leading to less draft, and cutting down on your heating bill!
• Resale Value/Curbside Appeal: The yearly Remodeling Magazine Cost Vs. Value report, which ranks the resale value that various home improvement projects provide, generally has a new front door as one of the highest resale value improvements you can make to our home. In addition to the fact that a new front door adds resale value to your home, it also gives the home more curbside appeal which increases the property value of your home and neighborhood.

When Is It Time?

If your door is looking or feeling weathered it is certainly time to replace it.  Be sure to check the structural integrity of both your door and your frame.  If either one feels at all compromised, perhaps from rot damage, doesn’t hesitate to replace the door.  If you notice a draft around your door, that is also a sign it needs to be replaced.  Your wallet will thank you when it comes time to pay the heating bill. Keep the warm air in your home where it belongs by ensuring that everything is sealed properly.
