Here at Crown Builders, we help homeowners elevate their home’s exterior for both functional and aesthetic reasons. One of the services we provide to achieve this is replacing exterior doors. This home feature can last a long time, but how do you know when it’s time to install new doors for the benefit of you and your home? Here are a few of the top signs that you should consider replacing your exterior doors.
- You’re doing other exterior renovations. If you’re giving the rest of your home exterior a makeover, chances are your doors will need an upgrade as well. You want to make sure the doors that you have complement your siding and other outdoor features. If you’ve given your home’s exterior a modern touch-up, you don’t want to forget about the exterior doors.
- The doors are damaged. Over time, exterior doors can become damaged by insects and other pests as well as just the constant exposure to the outdoors. Outside elements can wear down the surface of the door and damage it so it no longer succeeds at blocking outdoor contaminants and weather from getting inside. If this is the case with your exterior doors, it’s definitely time for replacement services.
- You’ve noticed doors losing functionality. Even if your doors don’t have any visible insect or weather-related damages, old doors can still lose their functionality and get stuck or refuse to close all the way. This is both a nuisance and a security issue. Above all else, your doors should be reliable at opening and closing to provide you with access into and out of your home.
Call us today if your exterior doors are no longer up to par for any reason.
