Exterior doors take a lot of abuse over the years from weather and usage. With normal wear and tear, the average exterior door might last for about 20 years.
While painting can salvage the appearance of some doors for a time, improving the appearance does not make them more secure or more effective in preventing energy loss. Especially as doors age, they leak air that you have paid to heat or cool from the top, sides, and bottom.
By replacing an old door with a new steel, wood, or fiberglass model, you will improve energy efficiency and add to the benefits your new windows provide.
Whether your doors have reached their probable life span or whether they need replacement sooner, L&L Door and Window can provide you with a new door in the style you want with the features you need.
The exterior doors on your home are the first things that anyone who approaches your home sees. When is it time to replace an older door?
An old door detracts from the curb appeal of your home and invites intruders who might take advantage of its weaknesses. When you feel a burst of hot or cold air around the frame, you are losing energy – and paying higher utility bills - as the seal on the door is not effectively blocking heated or cooled air from seeping out or invading your home.
Replacing your exterior doors will improve appearance, function, security, and energy efficiency. L&L Door and Window can retrofit an existing door with a better fitting new model, as well as provide doors for additions and install sliders for patio remodels. As with windows, doors have energy performance ratings noted on National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) labels. Because we have access to a wide array of products design for energy efficiency and curb appeal, you will “open the door” to style and savings as you select a door with the best SHGC and U-factor for your climate.
Whether you need to replace an old door or add a new one during an addition or remodel, you can choose from a variety of styles and materials. Popular materials include:
Available with windows or without, doors come in styles to match that of your home, whether you live in a contemporary home or a Craftsman, a traditional home or a Mediterranean one - or any other style. In addition to our fine selection of side or center-hinged entryway doors, we also off an array of sliding, French, or center-hinged patio doors.
L&L Door and Window works with several top vendors so we can install a door that is complementary to your home while offering the climate control and maintenance properties you see.
When adding the right door to your home, L & L also provides the expert installation you need to get maximum energy savings, Many doors are pre-hung and have weatherstripping installed for better climate control, but we will add additional caulking to perfect the seal for maximum effectiveness.
