Does Your Choice of Internal Doors Open Doors to a Higher Valuation?

Improving the curb appeal of your home by updating your front door is a common way of increasing the value of your home. A high-quality new front door has the highest return on investment on a home remodelling project with up to a 91% return when you sell the home.

The front door isn’t the only door you should consider replacing though, if you’re looking to add value to your property.

Replacing your internal doors can also boost your home’s value. If your current doors are starting to look tired and outdated, new interior doors will likely add aesthetic appeal, which can be a huge selling point.

So, how can you open the door to a higher valuation?
