Highest Impact Remodeling Project Is $5,000 Or Less

Steel doors are increasingly popular in luxury homes, especially mansions, due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and security features. Allowing for a modern and sophisticated look, they often feature custom hardware, which adds an artistic touch that enhances the  elegance of the entryway.

Sleep Better At Night

But it’s not just about aesthetics. Security firm ADT reports that the front door is the most common entry point for intruders. A new, sturdy front door can significantly improve your home’s security. 

That being said, as a homeowner you are always on the prowl for smart ways to increase your home’s value and asking yourself is the juice worth the squeeze? 

Finding the balance between investment and return can often feel precarious. Each renovation or upgrade presents a unique opportunity, but not all yield the same rewards. 

From simple DIY projects to major renovations, optimizing for the highest return on investment is hardly an exact science. Of course larger projects like kitchen remodels or bathroom upgrades may significantly boost your home’s market value, but they also require a larger investment, making it challenging to avoid overspending. 

Create A Memorable First Impression In One Day

That’s why you probably will be surprised to discover that the biggest curb appeal game changer can literally show up at your front door.  

While it’s essential to weigh costs against potential increases in value, it’s difficult to mess up the math when you keep your budget low enough to make the bet pay off. 

That’s why investing in a new front entry door is one of the most cost-efficient and high-ROI home improvement projects. In fact,  with the right installer, you can implement it in one day for less than $5,000. 

According to Remodeling Magazine, replacing your front door with a steel entry door has an average ROI of 74.9%, so you  can recoup nearly three-quarters of your investment when you sell your home. 

If you are a homeowner seeking a combination of security, durability, and aesthetic appeal, ProVia’s Legacy steel entry doors are a top choice. 

They are constructed from 20-gauge steel, providing 49% more galvannealed steel than standard 24-gauge doors. This makes them significantly stronger and more rigid, reinforcing your home’s defense against break-ins.

Substance And Style

But don’t let the tough exterior fool you. You don’t need to compromise on looks to get the protection you and your loved ones deserve. 

To soften the image, Provia combines security with beauty, manufacturing doors with impressive wood grain textures or smooth steel in a bunch of eye popping stains and paint colors. 

With ProVia’s factory finishing process you can expect a consistent and durable finish, which–unless you happen to discover a painter who is the modern equivalent of Picasso–is always more desirable to DIY options. Select from a wide palette of stains and paint colors that will tempt your imagination to push the limits of traditional design boundaries.  

Not sure where you want to go with your vision? ProVia provides a broad range of door styles with or without glass, including options for sidelights and transoms, allowing homeowners to customize their entryways.

These popular additions to entry doors can rock out the appearance and functionality of your home’s entrance. Sidelites. narrow, vertical windows placed on one or both sides of your entry door, are beyond cool. 

They usher in more natural light into your entryway, making it brighter and more welcoming while enhancing curb appeal by adding visual interest and architectural detail. 

Throttling Up The Style

If you are fortunate enough to have high ceilings, the other option is to opt for transoms or horizontal windows installed above the door, further brightening your space while adding height and grandeur to your entrance. 

Available in various shapes and sizes, from simple rectangles to more ornate designs, transoms make excellent use of abundant vertical space. 

When used together, sidelights and transoms can create a grand entrance, adding a sense of luxury and spaciousness to your entryway. 

Together, they significantly increase the natural light bathing your home in its warm glow. Once we expertly install them with energy-efficient glass, superior insulation and savings are right around the corner. 

Steel doors ensure that the glass we use in sidelights and transoms is secure and doesn’t compromise your home’s safety while maintaining thermal performance.
