Talk about first impressions!  The front door to your home is unique.  Most home improvements update either the inside or the outside but few solve both.  Your front door not only can give your home great curb appeal but also can be a focal point for the interior of your home.  It can help set the tone of your home from the minute you approach it.  Does your home appear to be cared for, secure and elegant?  It can!   The great thing about replacing your front door is that compared to many home improvements, the investment can be relatively small but make a huge impact.

Of course this is also true for the other doors in your home.  Is the patio door to the yard hard to open after all these years?  Did you update the kitchen but the slider looks like 1980 and a broom stick for a lock?  Do the doors in the basement look like they have obscure glass when in fact they are just that worn and weathered?  And wouldn’t French Doors on the Library make it light and bright?  A new door most anywhere in the home really can change and improve the feel of the entire room.  A new door might even be more energy efficient and offer better security and looks great too.

Remember it can take a few weeks for a door to come in once ordered.  Most manufacturers require you to paint the door and trim within a few days of installation.

Keep in mind that hanging doors is not typically a weekend warrior project.  It is one of those improvements that will work best by having an experienced professional installer.  If you make a mistake, it could mean having to buy a new door.  And when you are looking for a professional, ask who will be doing the actual work and how many doors they have personally installed.  I have personally installed OVER 20,000 doors.  That’s a lot of experience and expertise.  I haul away the old door and all the debris to complete the installation.  Some places actually charge additional for this. 

Does the door you are replacing get a tremendous amount of use or would something a little less expensive work fine since it gets minimal use?  Every brand can be different and I have a great deal of experience and product knowledge that can save you money in the long run.  For example, one brand may fit the opening almost perfectly when another brand may require additional work to get it to fit properly.   I am an expert who can help you find the best possible solution.
