Consider replacing an exterior door when it drafts, sticks, shows visible damage, or no longer closes securely. A new door also improves how your home looks from the street.

Signs your door is ready to go

Drafts you can feel, light you can see around the edges, a door that sticks in humid months, or visible rot and damage all point toward replacement.

Kentucky's humid summers and cold winters are hard on older doors, especially wood doors that have seen decades of weather.

What a replacement involves

The old door and frame come out, the opening is checked, and the new door is set, sealed, and finished. A proper fit matters more than the door itself for keeping out drafts.

A new door with decorative glass can also change the whole look of your entryway.
