Why French Doors Could Add Value to Your Maryland Home
One of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of a home is to add a new entry door. This value can be figured out on a calculator, almost to the dollar. It takes into account the materials used, the cost of labor, the savings on energy bills, and other quantifiable factors. But installing new French doors on your Maryland home will increase its value in a way that is much more subtle. There are some things, like the first snow of a Maryland winter, or a freshly fried crab cake, you just can’t put a price on.
Light.
Do you have a living room that could use some light? How about a bedroom with a tiny window that looks out onto your porch? How about that perfect view of the Baltimore skyline? Most homes have a room that could use more light, and adding light to a room is one of the ways French doors really shine. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that isn’t entirely true. Dim light can make any room look dreary. Light makes colors pop. It adds as much vibrancy and life as a can of Old Bay. When you have new French doors installed, you’re going to notice all that extra light almost immediately. And anyone looking to buy your home in the future will notice it too.
Access.
French doors excel at providing access. Not only are they the perfect enhancement to a bedroom you’d like to have opened up to your outside deck or balcony, but they’re also the right choice when you need to add a ground floor entry that allows you to easily bring large items into your home. If you’ve ever tried to stuff a big couch through a standard-sized front door, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Having French doors is like having an Ocean City Boardwalk going into your home. This is a great selling feature.
Style.
Every home is more beautiful with French doors. This entry choice adds almost as much style and elegance as our state flag, and you just can’t put a price on that. There are so many subtle ways new French doors can add to the value of your home. Whether it is the way they create warm shadows on the ceramic tiles in your kitchen when you’re making homemade snowballs. Or how they open your living room up to give access to the outside pool area during family gatherings. French doors are an investment you’ll be glad you made, especially when it comes time to sell your home.
