5 Reasons to Replace Your Exterior Doors This Year

May 28, 2025Doors 101

Your front door does more than welcome guests—it protects your home, boosts curb appeal, and helps with energy efficiency. If your current door is showing signs of age, here are five great reasons to consider a replacement.


1. Drafts and Energy Loss

If you feel a cold breeze near your door in winter, it’s costing you. Old or poorly sealed doors allow heat to escape and drafts to enter.

🌡️ Replacing your door with a modern insulated option can improve energy efficiency by up to 20%.


2. Visible Damage or Wear

Cracks, rust, dents, or warping are more than cosmetic—they can lead to security and insulation issues.

🛠️ A damaged door is often beyond simple repair and may not be weather-tight or secure.


3. Poor Function or Fit

Struggling to close or lock your door? That’s not normal. Swelling wood, sagging frames, or misaligned hinges can be a sign the door or frame needs full replacement.

🔐 A snug-fitting new door improves both security and ease of use.


4. Outdated Style Hurting Curb Appeal

A dated or faded entry door can drag down your home’s look, especially if you’re planning to sell.

🎨 New doors come in a range of modern styles, colors, and glass options to match your home’s personality.


5. Boosted Home Value

According to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report, replacing your entry door delivers one of the highest returns on investment for home improvement projects.

💰 It’s a smart upgrade with both practical and resale benefits.
