Entry Doors

Is a New Entry Door in Your Future?

Your home’s entrance is a sign of its quality and value. Choose carefully, because entry doors should do more than just look great.  They need to perform on many levels.  Many homeowners complain that wood doors are not energy efficient and they warp, crack and rot over time making them tough to maintain. While steel doors are durable they’re subject to the dents and dings of day to day use.

Remember when selecting your new entry door you are not just investing in a door slab that looks good, you are investing in an entire system of components.  If you choose poorly for what just looks good you will be disappointed in the performance of your entry door.  Many of the name brand door companies offer a lower quality line of there doors for the big home improvement chains.  Do not be fooled by name brand and looks make sure you are getting the high quality components you would expect from a name brand manufacturer.

A national home valuation study found that an enhanced entryway can add as much as $24000 to a home’s perceived value.  The added value was as much as five times the cost of the entry system and as much as 6% of the selling price.

Moderately priced homes also saw tremendous benefit to an enhanced entryway the enhanced entryway on a home under $200000 saw a perceived value increase of about $7720 or 4.1%.
