How a New Front Door Can Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal (and Value!)

Your front door is more than just an entryway; it’s the focal point of your home’s exterior. Whether you’re preparing to sell or simply want to make a strong first impression, replacing your front door is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal and increase its value.

Let’s break down how this simple upgrade can make a big impact.

First Impressions Matter

Your front door is one of the first things guests and potential buyers see. A worn, faded, or outdated door can make your home look tired. A new front door — especially one with a bold color, modern hardware, or glass accents- can instantly freshen your exterior and create a welcoming feel.

Tip: Choose a front door style that complements your home’s architecture, whether it’s traditional, modern farmhouse, colonial, or contemporary.

Boost Curb Appeal Instantly

Curb appeal isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating emotional appeal. Studies show that homes with strong curb appeal sell faster and for more money. A stylish new front door adds character, improves symmetry, and draws the eye, setting your home apart from the rest on the block.

Increase Home Value

According to the latest Cost vs. Value Report, replacing your entry door can provide a return on investment (ROI) of 60-70% or more, depending on material and style. It’s one of the highest ROI exterior projects homeowners can do — especially in markets where curb appeal plays a major role in home value.

Improve Energy Efficiency

Beyond looks and value, a new front door can also help reduce drafts and energy loss — especially if your current door is decades old. Modern entry doors are made with insulated cores, weatherstripping, and energy-efficient glass that helps regulate interior temperature. In Wisconsin’s cold winters and humid summers, this energy efficiency translates into lower utility bills.

Enhance Security & Peace of Mind

New entry doors come equipped with reinforced frames and advanced locking systems, offering improved protection for your home. This not only boosts security but can also be a selling point for future buyers who prioritize safety.

A Smart Investment for Every Wisconsin Homeowner

Whether you’re updating for style, preparing to sell, or simply want to come home to something you love, a new front door delivers serious impact. It’s a quick upgrade that enhances your home’s look, increases value, and adds comfort and efficiency.

Hear From Our Customers

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.
