Durability
Front entry doors are the first thing you see when entering your home and add to the overall curb appeal of your property. New entry door replacement provides a high return on investment, making it one of the best exterior upgrades to add value to your home.
The right choice of material makes a difference. Both steel and fiberglass offer a durable option that resists wear, scratches, and dents. They are also easy to maintain. They are not susceptible to moisture and humidity like wood and don’t warp, swell or rot.
Both options come with a number of customizations to make your home unique. You can choose decorative glass, wrought iron detail or a custom paint finish to match the architecture of your home. You can also opt for a screened door to allow the fresh Florida air to enter your home while keeping pests and debris outside. This is a great upgrade for busy homeowners who don’t want to be bothered by sweeping up grass cuttings and sweeping wasp nests out of their home every day.
Security
The entry doors that separate your home from the outside world need to do more than add curb appeal. They need to be tough against weather conditions, easy to open and close and lock securely. And they need to fit your style.
Door dealers and installers can help you choose a front door that combines beauty with durability. They can show you options that include decorative glass, wrought iron detail and wood grain finishes. They can also help you choose sidelights or transoms to light up your foyer. They can also add a custom screen door to keep out bugs and debris.
Most entry doors come prehung in a frame and drilled for knob and deadbolt, making installation straightforward. However, upgrading to a larger door or adding sidelights may require reframing the opening, work best left to professional contractors.

Wood and fiberglass doors are among the most cost-effective choices for exterior upgrades. Both offer high insulation values and beauty. Depending on their thickness, these doors can also provide good sound-proofing. However, they tend to warp in humid conditions.
An adjustable threshold helps keep your door weather-tight over time as materials expand and contract with the seasons.
