More often than not, front doors will lack style because they have no accents, they
have no ornate trim, they are begining look worn, and many are poorly lit which makes
the entrance appear shadowy. Luckily, there are several ways to enhance the style of
your entryway and create a fresh, beautiful entry to your home without spending a
fortune.

Entry Way Options

Replace the door: If your existing front door is old and tired it is making a bad
impression to the rest of the world about your home. Not only is it making a negative
statement about your home, but most likely it is providing reduced insulation and
security as well. If you do decide to replace your door, natural wood, fiberglass, steel
and wrought iron doors make a beautiful statement. Be sure to get a door of equal size
to save you money on resizing your entrance space.

Add a storm door: Storm doors will not only serve as a decorative flair to your entry
way, but it will also protect the entry door and keep heat inside in the winter, and bugs
out in the summer. Your best option is to purchases a combination storm /screen door
because they provide sufficient insulation during the winter and the best ventilation in
the summer.

Install trim work: Trim can make a huge difference to the appearance of your entryway.
Consider adding trim with finish carpentry such as columns and a crosshead pediment
to extend the width of the door. Also, ask us about high-density urethane foam millwork
because it’s a great choice to high maintenance wood.

Lighting:

Outdoor lighting illuminates your entryway which places emphasis on your stylish door
and beautiful trim work. Lighting also chases away creepy shadows that make your
front doors appear unwelcoming. Lighting installed above or at both sides of the front
door are wonderful options. Lighting fixtures can be chosen to compliment the hardware
you use on your doors as well. Furthermore, lighting is a practical addition because it
helps the people who live in the home successfully find their keys to get in!
