Entry Door Maintenance
Thankfully, most modern entry doors do not require much maintenance. However, if you pay attention to your front entry door’s look and function, you will likely be able to go longer without needing repairs, or at the very least you will notice sooner when you need entry door repairs.
Wood entry doors require the most upkeep, since wood is a natural material that is prone to warping, splintering, rotting and bug infestation. If you have a wood entry door, ask the installers about the manufacturer’s recommendations for how often it needs to be resealed. Keeping up with sealing the wood will keep moisture out for longer and it will keep your entry door looking nicer too.
If you notice a lot of ants or other bugs around your entry door or see sawdust-like piles on the ground or floor nearby, you may have insects living in your door — call an exterminator right away. If the problem is too far advanced, you may need a new entry door.
Fiberglass entry doors can be made to look just like wood, and they require the least amount of upkeep. Simply wipe them from time to time with a damp cloth and they should be fine.
Steel entry doors are strong and durable, but they are prone to dings and scratches. Dents and dings are unsightly but can often be corrected with a dent remover tool. When they can’t, you’ll want to call a professional for entry door repair — we can patch the dent so you will never know it was there.
You’ll want to attend to scratches in a steel door right away, otherwise rust could set in. If it’s a tiny scratch, you may try repairing it with a product from a hardware or big box store. However, if it’s a bigger, deeper scratch or rust has already set in, it’s best to go with professional entry door repair.
