Upgrade Your Storm Door & Boost Curb Appeal

Upgrading your home’s storm or screen door is a really easy way to boost curb appeal.  After all, the storm door is probably the first thing that visitors to your home will see, so you should want it looking its best.

If you don’t have the money to buy a new door, you might want to consider doing some basic repair work.  For example, if your screen is torn, you can easily repair it by rescreening the panel with some screen fabric and spline purchased at a home center.  If your door is aluminum and the paint is chipping, it can be repainted with automotive paint or a spray paint designed for metal.

Last but not least, don’t forget the door handle.  Many older storm doors have handles that are tarnished and rusty.  If this is the case, a new storm door handle is an easy and relatively inexpensive fix.  And if you don’t want to have to change the hardware again (or at least for a while!) look for something that features a PVD lifetime finish.  PVD is a special finishing process that is guaranteed to prevent tarnish on metal.
