It is a tough decision to decide if you want to repair or replace your entry door if it is damaged. There are a lot of different things to consider when deciding if a repair is a viable option or not, and you also need to decide if you want to even spend that money on your old door or just get a brand new stylish one. Here are a few things to consider when you are thinking about if you should repair your door or replace it.
Damage
How much damage your entry door has is a huge indicator of whether you should repair or replace it. If your door is only mildly damaged (i.e., broken seal, slightly cracked frame, or torn weatherstripping), these are all easy and relatively cheap repairs. Huge cracks in the door or a frame that is falling apart could cost a decent bit of money. Then you might want to consider replacing your entry door.
Aesthetic
Repairing your old entry door gets the job done but does not bring a lot of aesthetic appeals, but a brand-new door could really make your home stand out. If this is about more than safety or a draft coming in, a replacement entry door might be a good idea!
Work Load
Repairing and replacing an entry door may require multiple people if you are not a door installation expert. This might be an issue if you do not have extra hands and may require the expert to come in and install for you. Consider your options for the workload. If there is too much workload without help, just let the experts take care of it.
