Replacing your front door doesn’t have to be that expensive. Even giving it a new paint job can add curb appeal. However, if you have some extra money to spend then you should check out Crestview Doors. They are modern doors that have a vintage feel. You might see them on an old mid-century modern, ranch-style, or bungalow. The image below shows the “Lafayette.” This particular door can been seen on houses between the years of 1920-1959.
