Although it’s the focus of every entry and exit we make in our home, front door upkeep is often overlooked.

Not only is the front door a great way to invest in guaranteed curb appeal during resale, but in addition, it sets the tone for what’s to come. How do you know that it’s time for an update, however? Here are 5 signs that you may want to purchase a brand new front door:

1. Feeling a Draft
   The most evident sign your entrance door needs replacing; you’ll feel cold air coming in your home from around it. It’s not necessary to endure through Canada’s already frigid winters–start thinking about a new door as soon as you feel that unwelcome draft.
   
2. Looking Outdated
   Perhaps it’s a little bit of rust here, a stubborn scrape that commercial painting or North Vancouver handymand services may fix, or perhaps it’s simply looking exhausted. If you are feeling like your doorway doesn’t represent your home best, it’s probably time to upgrade your entrance door to something fresh and welcoming.
   
3. Difficulty Opening and Closing
   Over the years, doors can harden and swell, especially in extreme climates. This could lead to a struggle when opening and closing. If your door isn’t up to the very simple task of opening and closing, it’s time to replace it. Patio and sliding doors should also be assessed to make sure they’re operating smoothly.
   
4. Scrapes the Floor
   Doors also tend to sag over time. If your door scrapes the ground as you move it, this is a sure sign that you’re in need of a new one. Don’t wait until your floors are ruined beyond repair.
   
5. Moisture Between Glass Panes
   If your door has glass panes and you notice moisture between the panes, this usually means that the seal has been compromised and the door’s insulating material properties are not top-notch. The moisture could also grow into mold. Start thinking about getting a new door for your home or residential painting business. When you are ready to change out your front door, we can make sure your brand new luxury front door not only stands the test of time with superior materials but with impeccable style and taste.
