Thinking of Replacing Your Interior Doors? Here are Four Questions to Ask.
Home upgrades can breathe new life into an old space. Updating your doors, paint colour, and trim can refresh your home, holistically. If you’re thinking of replacing your interior doors, ask yourselves these four questions first.
1. Why do I want to replace the interior doors in my home?
Most homeowners in Oakville and surrounding areas are surprised to discover that replacing the doors throughout the house is one the easiest, least expensive and fastest ways to modernize its look.
In addition, it’s also a smart way to increase the overall value of the home too – in case you’re planning on selling in the future.
If you’re planning on a full home remodel, make certain to include interior doors in the budget. Why? Because in many cases, the doors are the finishing touches which unifies the entire look and feel of the remodeled home.
2. What should I look for in a door company?
First and foremost, you want to choose a company which has a large selection of doors to choose from.
From there, you should learn more about the company , like:
- Can the doors they offer be painted and/or stained in order to meet my unique design needs?
- Is door customization possible?
- Can the company recommend reputable contractors to help with door installation?
- What kind of warranty is included with your products?
- Are there company reviews or customer testimonials I can read?
- Is there a gallery of work available to look at?
3. Are your doors “earth-friendly?”
Many customers taking the environment into account when interior door shopping.
As such, they’re asking for “earth-friendly” doors, such as:
- Tree farmed doors: Doors made from trees grown specifically for this purpose. Once those trees are removed, they are replaced with new saplings.
- Molded skin doors: These are manufactured doors which are made from a wood pulp and resin mix. This combination actually lowers the amount of actual wood used in the door’s construction.
- Bamboo doors: An interesting fact is that bamboo isn’t wood at all. Bamboo is a fast-growing grass which, when pulled, will quickly replenish itself.
4. What mistakes should I avoid when shopping for new interior doors?
- Pick doors which fit your style: Of course, you want to be mindful of budget when selecting your doors. But remember, your new doors are going to be in your home for a long time. Make sure you like them in the showroom before you buy them.
- You get what you pay for: Buying doors from the big box store and installing them yourself is not the same as ordering a custom-built door with professional installation services. Specific skills are required to properly cut and install a door properly.
