Our expert door installers consistently complete putting in a new door faster than if you try to install it yourself.
What Material Is Best for an Exterior Door?
Selecting the appropriate material when choosing a new exterior door for your property is vital and impacts your home's overall security and aesthetics. The choice of material also significantly affects its durability, any required upkeep, and the appearance of your entryway. Mr. Handyman of Central Macomb advises you to consider various factors when shopping for a new door, including your local climate, unique budget, and preferred style. You're welcome to consult with our door installation experts, and we'll guide you through the process of choosing the ideal material for your needs and preferences. Popular door materials include the following:
- Wood’s timeless look is a huge selling point, but this material does require regular maintenance.
- Fiberglass is a popular choice because of its excellent insulation and resistance to scratches and dents.
- Steel works well due to its high durability and security qualities.
How Can I Tell If My Door Needs Professional Repairs or Replacement?
Deciding between repairing or replacing your door hinges means you must consider your door's condition. Small dents, scratches, loose hinges, and weatherstripping problems usually suggest that professional repairs are necessary. However, significant damage or problems might warrant investing in a professional replacement. Below, we've listed several indicators telling you it may be time to get a new door:
- The door is warped or fractured.
- It’s hard to open or shut.
- There’s major water damage.
- The paint is chipped or discolored.
- There are noticeable gaps at the edges.
- The hinges are corroded or noisy.
- It doesn’t lock securely.
Do I Need to Replace Both the Door and the Door Frame?
Sometimes, replacing the door itself is all you need to do. However, if you notice damage on the door frame or see other signs of compromised material, such as warping or rotting wood, it’s wise to have Mr. Handyman of Central Macomb's expert team replace both. In cases like these, simply replacing your door doesn't resolve the long-term issues and may cause future problems. These problems can compromise your entryway's overall security and your door's performance. Additionally, a poorly fitted door may also impact the insulated protection and overall appearance of your home. You need to ensure your exterior door has a secure fit and functions optimally. Fortunately, our home improvement experts can quickly and thoroughly assess the condition of your door and frame and discuss the best solutions for your situation.
How Much Does It Cost to Get a New Door?
A new door's price varies based on many factors, including the door material, design, and additional features like custom hardware. To make the best possible decision, you must evaluate your needs and preferences before making a purchase. Some individuals consider their door's appearance their top concern, while others choose a new door for its security or functionality. Homeowners should always consider these aspects when determining how much they can spend on a new door.
Can I Perform a Door Installation or Repair Myself?
