When rehabbing a house, do you go the most minimal, ie...steel back door, no screen door or wuld you at least

Question

putr a screen door up. It is a residential neiborhood, alll house similiar and all have screen doors.......just curious as to what majority prefer.

Answer 1

It all depends on if you are staying there yourself to live, or plan on selling it sometime in the near future.

You must always keep in mind what fits the house and what fits the neighborhood. If you have a very expensive door and a cheaper frame it sticks out and you rarely get your moneys worth.

But for the money, a nicer (solid core) door is better money spent than the screen door.

Go with something nice looking in the range of what is on display in the neighborhood. You can go higher in the range, but don't go way outside of what fits.

Answer 2

You want it to sell quickly. Shortcuts and cheap materials will drag you down.

A nice beveled-glass front door can make all the difference and only adds minimal cost to the overall project. I paid less than $400 for mine at Lowes and it transformed the house. Curb appeal is vastly improved and a dank vestibule is now light and airy.

If you can afford do what is comfortable to you. You live there and should be comfortable and happy.
