Best is not a single winner. The best wood front door is the one that fits your home’s design, supports your security and hardware plan, holds up to the sun and rain your entry actually gets, matches the upkeep you’re willing to maintain, and still makes sense for the price over time.
You’ll move through three steps: a clear definition of what “best” means, a five-point checklist, and a quick use-case guide to help you shortlist doors based on exposure and maintenance tolerance.
Our latest project was located in the Tampa Bayside region, snuggled away in the beautiful homes of Gulf view. Gulf view neighborhood surrounds the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club where homes were built in the early 1920’s.
This particular home had an older wooden door style with a large transom. The owners wanted to remove the wooden doors and transom and replace them with a larger door that had a more modern appearance that would complete the look of their home.The new custom door that was added in place of the old exterior door and transom is a wooden double door. This door is hurricane proof, with a Brazilian Mahogany finish and an inswing threshold.
