Signs You Need to Replace Your Front Door

Don’t underestimate the impact your front door has on your home’s curb appeal. It might not be the most visible part of your exterior, but it’s usually the first thing guests see when they visit your home. That’s why it’d be a good idea to get a window and door replacement if your front door and windows are starting to look a bit worn.

What are the other signs that your home needs a door replacement?

Signs You Need to Replace Your Front Door
  • Drafts – Drafty doors and windows can allow warm or cool air to escape, raising your heating and cooling costs. Here’s a tip on detecting leaks in doors and windows: Close all windows and doors and light an incense stick near them. If your windows and doors are letting in drafts, smoke should start floating to the source of the leak.

  • Cracks or breaks – Check your front door’s edges and panels for any cracks.

  • Difficulty closing or opening your front door – This could be a sign there’s a problem with the front door’s hinges.

Tips on Choosing a Door Replacement

To help you narrow down your choices, here’s an overview of some of the most popular materials used by manufacturers:

  • Wood – Wood has a classic aesthetic appeal that complements traditional architectural, such as heritage house styles, e.g., Craftsman, Colonial and Victorian. However, wooden doors need to be maintained frequently to preserve their aesthetic appeal

  • Fiberglass – Fiberglass doors are more affordable than wooden doors and have fewer maintenance needs.

  • Steel – When it comes to durability, nothing beats steel.

Remember: Abrupt temperature changes can take their toll on your exterior, especially your front door and windows. That’s why it’s important to choose replacement windows and doors that can handle temperature changes.

"The men who came out were able to work with each other good and professional showing us how the job would start and how long it would take. While they were doing their job they saw that the windows sills were off balance and very diligent and made it repairable to place the new windows in they cleaned up the area where they were working and made it look like no one had been there. They were very polite."

"Renewal by Anderson replaced our windows about a week ago. It made our home look brand new! Absolutely beautiful product!!! All the staff were kind and professional. Jackie and his crew did the installation and we have never had such a professional job done on our home! Highly recommend this company!"

"I have purchased 16 Anderson windows and they are great. The windows are perfect but the installation was the best. It is a joy having these windows in my 1910 home."
