A new door (or repainted door) can transform the front of your home and make your house pop from the other side of the street. Have you ever been driving or walking by a home and seen a beautiful red door and thought “wow”? A new paintjob on your front door will give your neighbors something to envy, and can even increase your homes value. Whether it is red, white, black, blue or even yellow, adding a fresh coat of paint to your door that pairs well with your exterior paint color can do wonders.
