The Remodeling Magazine and the National Association of Realtors conducted a research project to find the relationship between several home improvement projects and their influence on the selling price. Thousands of Realtors around the country analyzed 36 highly popular home improvement projects and their effect on home values.

In 2015, entry doors was voted number ONE remodeling project to yield the highest return on investment or ROI. To be more specific, installing a Wrought Iron Entry Door generally results in more than 100% cost-recovery at the time of selling your home. Bathrooms on the other hand, which are a popular remodeling project, only hold 70% of their initial value. In other words, if you spend about $2,000 on a new front door, you can expect your home value to increase by more than $2,000; however, if remodeling your master bath cost you $20,000 you can expect an average return of $14,000.

The reason behind this phenomenon is known as curb appeal. A front door is believed to be the focal point through which energy enters every home because it is the main point of entry. It is the first thing people see when they drive up, they walk through it as they enter, and they walk out it as they exit. Upgrading your front door is an immediate opportunity to update your home, increase its value, and make a statement; it has proven to be an investment that is immediately gratifying and pays for itself over time.
