Things To Consider When Choosing Your New Exterior Front Door
Choosing an exterior front door for your home can be a very exciting task! Your front door is the first impression a guest or passerby will have of your home, and we like to think of it as the centerpiece of your house. But, there are many factors to consider before choosing the door that’s right for your home! You don’t only want an aesthetically pleasing door, you want to ensure that it’s a good quality door as well.
Aside from the color and design of your door, here are a few things to keep in mind while you are shopping around:
What Type Of Exterior Door Is Best?
There are a variety of material choices to pick from when deciding on an exterior front door for your home. Wood can give your home a classic, elegant appearance. There are a variety of types and styles of wood and you can elect intricate detailing to add a stylistic element to your door, making it stand out from the rest! However, wood can typically be more expensive than other materials, so be sure to consider your budget.
Fiberglass and steel can be great alternatives to wood doors because they have the same style components but at a lower cost! They provide durability and energy-efficiency, which is a huge energy saver.
Want some windows or a pattern on your front door to wow your neighbors? Stylized windows are always in-trend and can be a great way to add a little personality to your home.
Front Door Durability
Take into consideration the environment you live in. Will your home be braving tough winters or harsh summers? You want to ensure that the door you choose will be able to hold up to the elements. In addition, choose a door that will provide proper insulation. This will save you money during the most extreme weather in winter and summer!
Is My Exterior Door Safe Against Intruders?
Whichever door you choose should be adept at keeping out intruders. The hardware for your door should be properly functioning and of high quality to deter theft. Using a deadbolt and/or a reinforced metal box strike can help ensure your safety!
Front Door Curb Appeal
Of course, you want your home to look beautiful to anyone that crosses your threshold. Choose a door design that compliments the design of your home. This will give your home a much cleaner look. But, you also want it to match your personal style. You will need to look at this door for many years, so take your time in choosing a style that you love!

What Homeowners Say About Aspen
Very good working with this company. Product is good. Like family owned business… very friendly! Purchased a new sliding door and window.
Wonderful people to work with! In order to replace the door, they had to remove the original woodwork, but once it was in they put it back up so well that we can't see a difference. Everyone was great. The salesman, the technician that did the work and the person that did the follow up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
The experience was awesome. Luke, our sales person, was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable and willing to get the answers we needed. The install was easy. They communicated throughout the process. I would recommend Aspen to anyone.
Great window quality. Customer service has been good with taking care of a few minor issues. Nice little gift box when they come for a final review.
Very grateful that this company would tackle the siding on our vintage log cabin. The crew that did the work had weather challenges with several snow events, but the work is well done and we've had compliments as to how Nice our house looks. Thank you Aspen!
