Exterior Door Replacement: 4 Mistakes You Need to Avoid

Your doors are an incredibly important part of your home. After all, since it’s one of the first things that people will see, your exterior door plays a big role in your home’s aesthetic appeal. Apart from that, it can also affect your home’s energy efficiency. To make the most of getting new doors, you have to make sure that you avoid a few door replacement mistakes.

These mistakes include:

Exterior Door Replacement

  1. Picking the Wrong Door Color 
    As stated before, your exterior doors can affect your home’s overall look. So, one of the mistakes that you need to avoid is picking the wrong color for your door. This is because if your door’s color doesn’t match your home’s overall color scheme, it can easily throw off the look of your entire home, causing its aesthetic appeal to suffer in the process.

  2. Spending Too Much 
    It’s understandable why some homeowners think that an expensive door equates to high quality. After all, at such a high price, it should be a good door, right? Unfortunately, focusing too much on the price is one of the exterior door replacement mistakes that you need to avoid. Instead, when picking out a door, start with a budget, and pick a quality door that’s within the aforementioned budget. That way, you’ll be getting a good door without having to break the bank.

  3. Sacrificing Quality 
    Likewise, you shouldn’t sacrifice door quality just so you can get a cheap door. This is because if you do, the flimsy material can not only negatively impact your home’s look, but it’s energy efficiency as well. Again, to avoid making this mistake, pick a quality door that’s within your budget. If you’re having a hard time doing so, meanwhile, you can always turn to a professional for advice and assistance.

  4. Picking a Door That Doesn’t Match Your Home’s Architectural Style 
    Similar to color, you also need to avoid making the mistake of picking a door that doesn’t match the architectural style of your home. Remember: there are some doors that suit a specific architectural style and some that do not. If you want to maintain your home’s look, it’s best that you pick one that matches your home’s style.

"After years of watching the wind move my drapes and hours of difficult cleaning, I decided to get new windows. I went with Renewal by Andersen because of the great reviews and quality. From Brent who did the consult, Gideon who did the measuring, to Jason, Josh, and I apologize I can't remember the third installers name, this is the most professional company I've ever worked with. I own a 1994 double wide mobile home, so everything in this place is hard to work with. I had a bay window, 6 double hung, 2 awning, and a front door replaced.. They said it would take 2 days and they were done on time! I did have second thoughts about doing this mainly because of the cost, but once it was done, I was very happy I did this."
