Key Questions to Ask Before Getting a New Entry Door

Just like with a roof replacement, you need to make a lot of decisions when choosing a new entry door. Today, exterior doors come in a wide range of materials, styles and colors, which can lead to decision paralysis for homeowners.

Here are questions you need to ask when planning your entry door replacement project.

Which Kind of Door Do I Need?

Style, energy efficiency and security should be your top priorities when selecting a door. First, decide on which style you prefer. Do you like the look of Craftsman or traditional colonial doors? Heat loss and gain usually occur through windows and doors, so look for a unit that can minimize energy loss. A high-quality entry door can prevent heated or cooled air from escaping your home. Also, it’s important to select a door that provides excellent security.

Which Material Should I Choose?

Some of the most popular door materials today include wood, fiberglass, and steel. As one of the best door and roofing contractors in the area, Brewster Roofing LLC can help you choose the best materials for your home. 

Wood doors are popular for their elegant look, but they can be more expensive than other options. They also usually require more maintenance. Wood doors aren’t ideal for homes facing east or west as they are prone to damage from direct sunlight. 

A more cost-effective option than wood is fiberglass, which can mimic the look of natural wood but doesn’t require as much maintenance. Another great option is steel, which offers superior strength. Steel doors can be painted in any color, making it a versatile choice.
