Your front door sets the tones of your home. It is the first thing that most people will notice. While a window that’s weather or siding that’s worn in spots might not be instantly visible from the curb, a door that’s seen better days will be. The good news is that installing a new front door is a simple, relatively affordable change you can make to your home.

Installing a new front door can make your home more secure

There are many reasons that clients come to Progressive Insulation & Windows and many benefits they receive when they replace their front door. First, a new door can significantly increase its security. This is true for two reasons. One, newer doors have more innovative safety technology built in to them. In fact, some burglars will look at doors from the sidewalk and decide whether or not to target a home based on how secure its front door looks.

Two, an older door, even if it has identical security equipment to a new door, is more vulnerable. If it’s wood, then it’s likely to have deteriorated enough to be easier to penetrate. If it’s fiberglass then it may be damaged in areas that make it vulnerable to break ins. The bottom line is that a brand new door is likely to be much more secure than an older front door.

Installing a new front door can save energy

At Progressive Insulation & Windows, there are many ways we can help our clients. One of them is by providing a full energy efficiency audit. During this audit, we will assess your home and give you a free estimate of the improvements we suggest. In many cases, we suggest our clients replace their front door. Why? Because they are often not sealed correctly. This can lead to air coming in and going out, which can increase cooling costs in summer and heating costs in winter.

Installing a new front door can change the look of your home

Finally, it’s important not to discount the importance of how much a new front door can change the appearance of your home. Some clients change their front door to fit in with changes they’ve made to their home’s siding or landscaping. Others change their front door first because this one project can have such a huge impact. With the proper lighting and décor around your door, it truly can make you happy to come home every night.
