Steel Front Door

The front door is one of the most important elements for curb appeal and first impressions. According to the report, replacing your existing door with a steel door averages a 75 percent return on investment. For example, if a homeowner spent $2,000 for a new steel door, they could expect to recoup as much as $1,500 when it comes time to sell the house.
