Doors

Doors matter. Among the most important things we consider when judging the quality of a home, is its doors. Light, flimsy, improperly-hung doors are a sure sign of shoddy workmanship and inadequate budget. Quality doors - doors that look and feel great - are a trademark of quality. Don't skimp on your doors.

The front door: is it inviting and elegant? Does the front door fit in with the style of architecture exhibited by the rest of your home? Is it a solid and heavy door, to keep out intruders? Without looking like a prison door?

The patio door: does it invite you out to the garden? Does the patio door give you a commanding view of your back yard, without blocking access?

The garage door: does it look great when closed, and is it an easy door to open?

Interior doors: are they well-hung, allowing easy entry? Do the doors keep noise out and allow for privacy?
