I have an old front door that's functional but definitely not pretty. I'm curious about the real benefits of replacing it with a new one. Would it be worth the hassle and cost, especially if the current one still works?

Instead of going for a whole new door, consider giving your existing one a facelift! Refinishing or repainting can really make a difference without the expense of a full replacement.
I’m in a similar boat! I just bought a house, and while the door is fine, it really dims up the entryway. A new, nicer door could boost curb appeal and potentially help with resale value, even if it doesn’t add too much. It’d definitely make me happier seeing a nice door every day. Spending a little can improve your day-to-day experience!
If you're after value, what are you looking for? Resale? A fresh coat of paint might be enough if that's your goal. But if you plan to stay long-term, a new door could really help with insulation, security, or even adding natural light!

Exactly! Plus, considering things like energy efficiency or security are important when you're thinking of a replacement.
