Yes, we know that it may seem to be more economical to continue to stain and fix that old front door that is on the front of your house. But have you ever actually added up the repair costs over the years?Sometimes continuing to repair an old door ends up costing you more than just finally replacing it after it gets to a certain age, especially with wood doors. Wood is only going to last for so long anyway, no matter how much you continue to repair it. Besides there are better options on the market today that will last longer, require less repair every year, and look just like the wood door you love so much.Looks Like a Wood Front Door, But BetterFiberglass doors, like the Signet Fiberglass Door by ProVia, are the low maintenance alternative to wood doors.
