If you are thinking about buying either an interior or exterior door there are several factors you should consider before making your final decision. First, you probably want to consider which brand to buy. We have completed an unbiased review of all the major door brands and we recommend either Masonite Doors, Pella Doors or Andersen Doors. You should also decide what material would best match your needs. We recommend wood doors but you can also consider glass especially for certain exterior door placements and also steel if you want the strongest and most secure option.
You can repair some door problems, and some you cannot. If a door has rot, has severe weather damage or multiple deep dings, or is severely warped it may be beyond repair and require replacement. If your door is improperly hung, has trouble closing or latching, is slightly warped, or is sticking, these problems may be well worth fixing.
Doors that are original to your home and matched to your home’s architectural design are worth extra effort to repair. Doors that are poor quality or do not match your home’s style are worth less effort to repair.
There may be functional advantages to replacing your doors. A new entry door can increase the energy efficiency and security of your home. New interior doors can block sounds from traveling beyond closed doors and improve your privacy. Click here to see other factors to consider
