Hi everyone! I recently took over my late mother's estate after a difficult period in my life, including getting out of a long-term domestic violence situation. When I was finally able to bring my two Huskies back home, they had already caused some damage to her property, including this kitchen door that leads to the garage. The door has a significant hole chewed into it, but it's not rotten and I just haven't had a chance to clean it yet. I'm trying to figure out whether I should repair this door or simply replace it. Money is tight as the house needs a lot of work, and I'm hoping to save where I can. I'll be selling the house next month, so I appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks!

Getting a picture of the door helped a lot! It seems like you have a couple of options depending on your skill level and time constraints. If you're handy, you might be able to repair it yourself, but if you're tight on time since the house is being sold soon, replacing it might be the more cost-effective choice overall, especially if you're worried about how much time it'll take to fix the existing door. Just weigh the cost of replacing it against the time it will take you to do a decent repair. If it's already been a tough process, sometimes a new door can be a quicker solution! Good luck!
I agree! Plus, if you're selling, a new door might be more appealing to potential buyers which could help with the sale.
