How much should I spend on my new front door?
As a rule of thumb many architects suggest that you should spend approximately 1% - 2% of the value of your home on a new front entry door. The front door is the focal point of your home and a major contributor to “curb appeal”. For example many customers have purchased new doors prior to putting their homes on the market to help curb appeal.
What type of door should I buy?
Some of the factors to think about when considering a new door are:
Budget – New entry doors range in price from $1,000 to $25,000 and up.
Motivation – Why do you want a new door?
Priorities - What is most important to you - appearance, security, or price? |
