8 signs its time to replace your door
The first thing you see when you arrive home and the last thing you see as you depart. It’s the focal point of your home, but also a key contributor to keeping your home warm, cool, and safe all year round. It’s your front entry door and it is very important to know when that door needs replacing.
8 Telltale Signs Your Door Needs to Be Replaced
1. Your door is “sticking” or is difficult to open and close.
2. You see exposed areas down the sides, at top or bottom where you can see light shine through.
3. There are visible dings and rust on the door that could mean the structural integrity of the door has been compromised.
4. There’s moisture between the glass panes. Over time, the seal between those two panes can fail leading to moisture, mildew and/or mold.
5. The door is weathered, warped, or cracked from seasonal expansion, allowing the outside elements into your home.
6. You need to stuff a towel under your door to keep out the cold draft.
7. You have signs of water or insect damage on a wood door.
8. Is your door outdated? According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost VS Value 2014 Report, installing a new fiberglass or steel energy door can give homeowners up to 109% ROI. Beat that!
