HANG A NEW FRONT DOOR
Improving curb appeal by installing a new front door can have a big impact when it’s time to sell. Take down a worn-out, faux-wood door and replace it with a sturdy, 20-gauge steel model. Be brave and paint it red or another bright color. Spend the money for an exterior brick-mold casing and for brass or antique brass handles, as the front door is a prospective buyer’s introduction to the home. Remodeling magazine says to expect to recoup at over 90 percent of the expense when the house is sold, too.
