A worn down entry door can stir up a staggering list of problems that are extremely simple to miss.

Summer is about to make an appearance in the Midwest, an appearance that usually comes on with little to no warning.  Wisconsinites are as familiar with unrelenting heat as we are with battling white-out blizzards. During the winter we hunker down & crank up the heat to warm our toes, just as well during the summer while we blast the A/C to cool our heels!

Heating & cooling our homes is a hefty expense in our budget as it is, but an inefficient entry door can cause a colossal increase on our energy bills. This is why knowing what to look for is the key to saving on energy costs no matter the season. Knowledge is key when it comes to a timely entry door replacement!
