Ask MOD: How To Update Your Front Door?

Dear Dull & Dreary,

Thank you for your question. You are not alone, many people struggle with dressing up the front of their home. People often forget about their front door or worse yet get stuck on deciding what to do to give the front of their home some personality. A lot of the time, people might just get a home door replacement as this is the easiest option. Besides, it is undeniable that if you want to dress things up a little bit then getting a new door will make a huge difference. A friend of mine recently purchased a gorgeous weatherproof door that she found on the Plastpro website. It rains a lot where she lives, and so buying a door that is resistant to warping, delamination, corrosion, rotting, and the buildup of mold and mildew was crucial.

Anyway, adding pizazz to your front door is easy. Why not try painting the front door a pretty color that will complement the color of your home. I would recommend Sherwin Williams Blue Peacock-SW0064, Riverway-SW6222 and Rain Storm-SW6230. Adding updated metal house numbers, a new painted metal lock and exterior light fixture both in a brushed nickel will be sure to bring attention to your home. For extra pop, place two potted plants by the front entrance.

These minor changes will beautify the exterior of your home and add some serious curb appeal to your home. Estimated cost: a gallon of paint for the front door will cost as little as $30-40. Metal house numbers, less than $5 each. The cost for the lock depends on your local Locksmith Coquitlam and their rates. The potted mini evergreen like a boxwood or a Alberta Spruce could run you less than $20 each.
While we are on the topic of doors and home renovations, did you know that it is a lot easier than you might think to build your own garage door screen? A garage door screen can totally revitalise your garage, extending your living space and increasing the value of your property in the process. For more information, go to coastalgaragedoors.biz.

I hope this all helps Dreary & Dull, and takes you from Dreary & Dull to Bright & Cheery!
