A screened door keeps lizards, house flies and mosquitoes away during the day and lawn debris and swept wasps’ nests from blowing into your foyer at night.
Curb Appeal
A front door does more than welcome guests and protect your home from intruders and harsh weather; it also reflects on your curb appeal. It’s the first thing people see and one of the quickest ways to make a good impression on guests or potential buyers.
Upgrading to a new entry door is not only a smart choice for energy efficiency, durability and security; it also boosts your home’s value. It is important to choose a door that matches the style of your home while complementing its architectural elements.
Paint your door a vibrant shade to instantly create a welcoming first impression. Finish the look with a custom welcome mat and decorative wreath or plants around the entryway. In Florida, planters filled with palm fronds or bright hibiscus flowers can highlight the beauty of nature and enhance your new door color. Add accents like brass or bronze door handles and hinges to accentuate your tropical theme.
Energy Efficiency
Having a front door that’s properly insulated will help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If your existing front door isn’t insulating well enough, replacing it with a new one will improve your energy efficiency.
Steel doors are a popular choice because they are durable and offer excellent insulation. They don’t swell or warp like wood and are resistant to dents, insects and rust. They are also easy to clean and provide a nice, contemporary look for your house.
A custom-built screened entry will allow you to open your doors on beautiful Florida days and keep landscape debris, pests and grass cuttings from blowing into your home.

Value
Your front door does more than welcome guests; it’s your first line of defense against intruders, harsh weather conditions, and energy loss. Because they are exposed to these demands, front doors experience wear and tear over time. They may develop cracks, mildew, or lose color. Eventually, they can affect the overall functionality and security of your home.
To avoid these issues, opt for doors made of strong materials that resist fading and deterioration. Additionally, choose doors with insulative properties to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs.
