A New Front Door

The new door can have a small window in it to look out and see who is at the door before it is opened. What about adding a side window? New doors come in many finishes and colors. Door installation in Downers IL is affordable.
The next Project
When the new door is in place, it is time to plan the next exterior renovation project. What condition is the home’s siding in? The first step could be power washing the siding and the roof. When all the built-up dirt and grime are gone, it is easier to see what condition everything is in. Wood siding may be repaired and painted. Vinyl siding may need to be replaced. Cement based siding or aluminum siding may be able to be repaired or painted. If they are in bad shape, they will need to be replaced.
Then, examine the windows. If they are single pane or damaged, they should be replaced with energy efficient windows. If the budget is small, a few windows can be replaced at a time. The roof is another project that should be considered. Have the roof inspected and repaired as needed. This will help the roof to last longer. But, if the inspection shows a roof ready to fail because of age or damage too extensive to repair, a replacement will be needed. An exterior contractor will be able to help the homeowner prioritize home renovation projects. Contact us for more exterior renovation information.
