Blog

Upgrading your home's entryway is something that you may want to consider. Your entry door, in particular, can have a significant effect on your home's curb appeal. An outdated or unattractive entryway can also be a negative feature if you are looking to sell your home in the future. Replacing a broken entry door is also essential for your home's security. If you are thinking about replacing your entry doors, here are three things that you need to know.

Know You Have Options

The first thing that you should consider is that there are various options to consider. Entry doors are available in a wide range of materials, styles, and sizes. Steel, fiberglass, and wood doors are standard and easy to find. There are also plenty of decorative features available, ranging from window inserts to panels. Entry door styles range from sleek and modern to traditional and ornate. When shopping for a new door, you'll want to consider the style of your home when making your decision. Taking a picture of your entryway can help you visualize which door will work best.

Understand The Cost

Another thing that you should know before choosing a new door is how much it will cost. Entry doors are available at a variety of price points, but there are other costs to consider. Entry door installation will be an additional cost. While you can install a door yourself, you may want to leave it to a professional for the best results. The cost of a new entry door can range from a few hundred to over one thousand dollars. Installation costs vary, but on average, range between $750 and $2,000. Before you start the process of searching for a new entry door, make sure you consider the impact of installation costs to your budget.

Know How Long Installation Will Take

The good news about entry door replacement is that it is a reasonably quick way to make a change to your home's appearance. The larger and more complex your new entry door, the longer the installation will take. But, even with an elaborate door, installation is a quick process compared to other home improvement projects. Entry door installation will typically take no longer than five hours, and can often be done in just a couple of hours. If you are looking to improve your home's curb appeal, a new entry door is a quick way to do so. 

If you are looking into replacing your front door, there are a few things to know. First, there are many options to choose from when it comes to entry doors. These doors are also available at many different price points, but you'll also want to factor in installation costs into your budget. Installation time also varies, but a new door will only take a few hours to install.
