Increasing the resale value of your Seattle, Washington, home can be as simple as having a new front door installed. There are two main reasons why: better curb appeal and increased energy efficiency.

New Door Seattle, WA Curb Appeal

As your home’s entryway, your front door can make or break a visitor’s – or potential buyer’s – first impression. Because of this, you want your door to be attractive and in line with the rest of your home’s exterior design. Cracked, faded and outdated doors can detract from an otherwise beautiful exterior. If your entry door has seen better days, it may be time to consider revitalizing your home’s appearance by having a new door installed.

Energy Efficiency

Another common problem with outdated doors is energy efficiency. Without the proper energy-saving features, your front door can allow heat and air transfer to occur. This can create an uncomfortable interior temperature, as cold drafts come in during the winter and hot humid air seeps in during the summer. This can also lead to excess spending, as your HVAC system will have to work harder to condition the air in your home, thus increasing energy costs. To resolve this problem, you may want to have a new door installed. There are a number of energy-efficient options available that can add value to your home.
