The Benefits of a Front Door Replacement

Your front door is one of the most important parts of your home. It truly is the first thing people notice when they walk into your home and your front door plays a large part in your home’s unique beauty and security.

Unfortunately, many issues can arise for your front door over time. Exposure to weather elements can wear down a front door, leading to drafty doors or even compromise the security of your front door – and your home.

The only way to permanently fix these issues is with a front door replacement. Smaller fixes might solve the problem temporarily, but a front door replacement is a fix that will benefit your home for years to come.

What are some of the benefits of a front door replacement for your home?

Increase your Energy Savings

No homeowner wants to pay more on their energy bills – including you.

We’ve stressed the importance of energy-efficient windows for your home, but your front door can also contribute to greater energy savings. Common problems like inefficient seals or door materials often lead to drafts coming from your entryway, making you pay more toward your home’s energy bills on a regular basis.

A new front door made with energy-efficient materials such as fiberglass, wood cladding, or steel with an insulated foam core helps protect your home from the outdoor elements and high energy bills. Newly-installed doors also give your front door a new seal, which help prevent drafts from entering your home

Boost your Curb Appeal & Resale Value

Curb appeal and the resale value of your home go hand-in-hand. Homebuyers are often drawn in by a home’s curb appeal, and your home’s curb appeal starts at your front door.

In fact, replacing your front door is one of the top home improvement projects homeowners looking for a boost in resale value can make. According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2014 Cost vs. Value Report, replacing your front door with a steel entry recoups 96.6 percent of the cost, tops among all home improvement projects.

Improve your Home Security

Not only can a new front door provide a great look for your home, but it also helps keep it protected.

A new door can come equipped with several security features, including HMI Doors’ Multi-Point Locking System. These door replacements provide your home with a great new look and an added protection and security your home – and your family – deserves.

Get a Quieter Home

As an added bonus, energy-efficient and insulated doors help protect your home from an additional outdoor elements: exterior noise.

Even with windows and doors closed, less efficient products and materials don’t do a lot to filter out the exterior noise. Insulated and energy-efficient doors help to filter out this noise, keeping your home quiet and the exterior noise out.
