The first step in replacing your front door isn’t finding the right door installation company – it’s accepting that it’s time to replace your front door. It may sound like a pain but the reality is that Progressive Insulation & Windows can get it done much more easily than you’re imagining.

There are many reasons you may choose to replace your front door but the following four signs indicate that you should do so sooner rather than later. Read on to learn more about them and then contact us at (800) 500-6200 to get the process started.

1. You notice drafts coming from under your door

You may notice that your front door lets in drafts and you may realize that it’s uncomfortable. Do you also know that it’s terrible for the overall energy efficiency of your home? When you work with Progressive Insulation & Windows, we can complete an entire energy audit that lets you know where your issues are and how you can fix them. A door that’s working correctly shouldn’t have drafts at all. We can help make that a reality.

2. Your door doesn’t fit snuggly on its frame

If you look at your door and can tell just by looking that it’s not fitting snugly into its frame, then it’s likely you either have a door that wasn’t installed correctly or one that has warped. Note that you can’t always see this problem, but if you have a hard time opening and / or closing the door, then that’s another sign that it’s likely lost its shape. When you choose Progressive Insulation & Windows for door installation, you can count on your door hanging correctly on its hinges – which eliminates the risk of open spaces.

3. Your front door has excessive wear and tear

It’s true that a small scrap or a few chips here and there aren’t likely to affect the safety of your front door or its efficiency. That said, they can be unsightly to look at. Anyone who’s considering selling their home should be especially concerned about this issue, since the front door is one of the first things a potential buyer is going to see, but even if you’re sticking around for a while, remember that a new front door can actually improve the value of your home.

4. You’re dealing with rot, mildew, or mold

If you notice that your front door is rotting, has started to mold, or has a mildew issue, then you need to address these situations immediately. A small bit of mold on your front door can easily spread to the rest of your home. It can also affect how strong your door is, which can lead to a door that’s much easier to gain access to by thieves.

These are four of the reasons that we recommend homeowners consider replacing their front door. That said, there may be many other reasons to replace your front door. No matter what your reason is, you can count on Progressive Insulation & Windows to help. Call us at (800) 500-6200 for more information.
