Benefits of New Door Installation
New doors save on your energy bills. Installing new ENERGY STAR approved products are designed to minimize energy waste and help you save money on your energy bills. Exactly how much can they help you save? The government’s ENERGY STAR website suggests replacing windows and doors together for average annual savings range from $424 to $446 a year (when replacing single-paned windows) and $59 to $91 a year (when replacing double-paned, clear glass windows) in the tri-state area. If you live in or around Wilmington, Delaware, you’ll save up to $655 a year (when replacing single pane windows) or $80 a year (over double pane, clear glass replacement windows) when you install ENERGY STAR approved doors and windows together.
New doors can earn you a tax rebate/credit. When you install ENERGY STAR approved door products, you are eligible for a tax credit for 30% of the cost of the doors, up to $1,500.
New doors can increase your home’s value. According to an article on Bankrate.com, “curb appeal” ranked 5th out of the 10 features that add value to your home, noting that a buyer’s good first impression from the home’s exterior can add as much as 10% to the value of the home, making it critical for homeowners to pay as much attention to good entryways as potential buyers of the present and future (to read the full article on Bankrate.com, (click here). Home Renovation expert Joel McLaughlin agrees:
“…you can almost always rely on the beauty and elegance that new doors and windows can bring to the exterior and interior of any home. If you already have a unique layout to your home, there’s no reason to worry that adding new doors and windows will diminish your home’s distinctive design. Custom doors and windows are often very popular with home buyers, so this will likely add value to your home. If your home has a more manufactured look to begin with, new doors and windows can actually make your home stand out from all your neighbors and other homes that might be similar to yours. This will be incredibly beneficial when the time comes to sell your home.” (click here for full article)
New doors can improve the security of your home. Home security experts assert that the first thing you should consider when improving your home’s defense is securing doors and windows. Security professionals suggest installing deadbolt door locks and note “it may be worth replacing your doors and/or windows if they are old and in need of repair… the worse condition they are in, the easier it will be for an intruder to break into your property” (click here to read the full article).
New doors can improve the safety of your home. Older homes often have doors with pane glass that can shatter into hundreds of pieces on impact, potentially injuring your loved ones or putting them at risk of an easy intrusion. The Home Safety Council also recommends replacing deadbolt locks that need a key to open from inside because “keys can easily be misplaced when the deadbolt is locked, making it impossible to escape” during fire or intrusion.

New doors are easier to operate. Another benefit to installing new doors in your home is that they are often easier to open and close and offer several features for more convenient operation. For example, we offer doors that house blinds within the glass that operate with a simple toggle switch on the interior side of the door and do not swing back and forth every time you open the door. Not only will your new doors look great when you install them, but they’ll be easier to use and enjoy!
