In a national Home Valuation Study subjects were asked to look at exterior pictures of two homes and estimate the homes current value. The only difference between the two homes was that one home had a new entry door with an energy efficient glass pack while other had a solid steel six panel door. On average homeowners estimated the home with the efficient door to be 6% higher than the home without

New study shows an enhanced entryway raises perceived values as much as 6%.

That was the conclusion of a national Home Valuation Study conducted by one of the nation’s largest independent research organizations. Which leads us to conclude it’s one of the smartest improvements you can make.

After testing thousands of homeowners across the U.S., the study confirmed that a more beautiful front entry system makes the whole house look like it’s worth more.
