Believe it or not, upgrading your front door can produce significant value to your home, as well as return on investment.
According to FortuneBuilders, not only is a front door replacement one of the top remodeling projects with the highest ROI, but it can provide significant savings in terms of heating and cooling costs.
“It gives you the best bang for your buck in terms of transforming the look and feel of your home,” says Brandon Erdmann, president of the remodeling firm HomeSealed Exteriors in Milwaukee. “Plus, old exterior doors can be a huge source of energy loss. So you’re improving the look of your house, improving energy efficiency, and you’re able to do it without breaking the bank.”
This biggest perk of this summer home renovation is it can be completed in less than one weekend.
Pro Tip: Considering installing a steel or fiberglass entry door — both of which will fetch a healthy return. The cost of a steel door is approximately $1,334 with a return of 91.1 percent, while a fiberglass door is much cheaper and still has a 82.3 percent return on investment.
