The Importance of Your Home’s Front Door

As a crucial design statement, your front door is responsible for so much more than acting as an entranceway to your home. It keeps your inhabitants and belongings safe and greets your guests on their way in and out of your home.

Your choice of front door also plays a factor in determining your home’s worth and is a recommended upgrade before selling your home.
