Yes – one of Durabuilt’s major door manufacturing partners has found that the replacement of your home’s entrance adds real value in addition to a fresh new look. Therma-Tru’s National Home Valuation Study™ offers proof that a more attractive front entrance can considerably increase the perceived market value of a home.
The commissioned study asked more than 2,400 consumers to estimate home prices based on each home’s exterior appearance. The study found that an enhanced entryway can add as much as $24,000 to a home’s perceived value. The added value was as much as five times the cost of the entry system. The second instalment of Home Valuation Study™ found that moderately priced homes benefit from entryway updates just as much as their upscale counterparts. The new study shows that an upgraded entryway can increase the perceived value of an average home by $7,720, or 4.1%.
Replacing all your windows can provide the greatest visual impact on both the inside and outside of your home. When you think about the architectural features of your home, in most cases windows account for about 50% of the curb appeal.

In some situations where it is important for the customer to preserve historic characteristics of the home, we may be able to leave existing wood frames and simply replace it with a window insert. This depends on the state of existing windows and frames. Nine times out of ten, our recommendation is a full frame renovation where you remove any rotted wood and poorly performing components to replace the entire window system with a new high performance window.

Winter installations are a common practice and our teams typically work most days (as long as conditions are safe). Excessive wind chills do play a factor in this, and if they become too uncomfortable or dangerous for our teams we will simply reschedule your install for the next available day.
