A plain, brown wood door is all that graces the entrance to your home. It keeps the weather out, gives you a place to enter your home and keeps people out that you don’t want in; it is there basically as a functional barrier and nothing else. The only problem is that it is ugly and does nothing to enhance the look of your home.Ugly Doors out, Beautiful Doors in with Door Replacement

Imagine how much better your home would look if you took out that old, plain door and replaced it with a new one. You can have a door replacement done with a door of a different color to match your house, a door with designs on it to enhance its look or even a door with glass panes.

They think that all they can do is take the old door out and put the new door in. Don’t limit yourself to this thinking when you are working on a door replacement for your home.The area surrounding the door can also be included in the project to enhance the look of your front door. The most common enhancement that is chosen is to place decorative windows around the new door. The options are restricted to a long, side window on one or both sides of the door that match the design of the door or an arched window above the new door when it is put in.Each of these windows can be done separately, where you add one option or the other with the new door or they can all be done together. A door replacement that included adding both side windows and the arched window above the door enhances the beauty of the entrance to your home, but also requires a lot of space to be done.For more ideas and options for your home, schedule a free in-home consultation today.
