Front Door Upgrades That Boost Curb Appeal and Value (Especially Before Holiday Guests)
Nov 06, 2025
The holidays are right around the corner — and that means friends, family and neighbors will soon be stopping by your home. Before the guests arrive, look at the first thing they’ll see: your front door.
A new entry door is one of the simplest and most effective ways to boost curb appeal and increase home value. In fact, replacing your front door is consistently ranked as one of the top home improvement projects for ROI. Best of all, it doesn’t have to be complicated or costly — especially when you partner with Centennial Home Improvement.
Why Upgrade Your Front Door Before the Holidays?
Your front door sets the tone for your entire home. It’s more than just a design choice — it’s about security, energy efficiency and first impressions. Very few upgrades can match this kind of all-around benefit. Here’s why now is the perfect time to make the change:
- Curb appeal matters. A fresh, modern door instantly transforms your home’s appearance, giving it a clean, welcoming look.
- Energy efficiency saves money. Older doors often let in drafts, which can increase heating costs during colder months.
- Guests notice the details. When holiday visitors walk up to your entryway, a stylish door creates a warm and inviting welcome.
Top Front Door Styles to Consider
At Centennial Home Improvement, we help homeowners choose doors that match their home’s architecture, lifestyle, and budget. Here are a few popular options:
- Fiberglass Entry Doors
Durable and energy-efficient, fiberglass doors mimic the look of real wood without the maintenance. They’re ideal for Midwest weather and come in a variety of finishes. - Steel Front Doors
If security and durability are priorities, steel doors are an excellent choice. They resist warping, cracking, and swelling — and provide a sleek, modern appearance. - Decorative and Art Glass Doors
For homeowners who want to add light and elegance, glass inserts or sidelights can make your entryway feel bright and open while maintaining privacy.
Small Details Make a Big Impact
Once you’ve chosen the right material, it’s time to personalize your new door.
- Bold colors like deep red, navy blue, or sage green can make your home stand out.
- Matte black or bronze hardware adds a touch of sophistication and contrast.
- Decorative glass can give your home a custom, high-end feel.
Small details like these can significantly increase your home’s perceived value — especially when combined with clean siding and updated lighting.
