If you need to replace your old entry door, you are probably wondering when the best time of year is to do so. Of course, spring or summer may seem like the obvious choice because of the mild weather. The truth is that your front door can be replaced any time of year, as long as it’s done by professionals like Brock Doors and Windows. Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect for your Toronto entry door replacement projects with each season:

Spring

As many homeowners know, spring and summer are the optimal time to install your front door. Not only is the weather nice and warm, but the days are longer with more light. Many contractors offer springtime specials and discounts. However, these warm months are also the “busy season” for door contractors, which means you will have to wait longer for your project to be finished. The ideal solution for installing a new entry door is to decide on an experienced and professional door contractor in early spring. This will allow you plenty of time to select, order and install your entry door.

Summer

Summer is a great time to replace your front door. But, just like spring, summer is a very busy time for contractors. Since you don’t heat your home during the summertime, you don’t have to worry about losing heat while your door is being installed. However, if you are using your A/C, you could lose cool air. The bright side is that when you’re working with a professional company like Brock Doors and Windows, we will take every measure necessary to ensure that your energy loss is minimal.

Fall

Perhaps the biggest benefit to installing your new entry door during autumn is that you won’t have to wait very long to get your project completed. This is because many homeowners schedule door replacement in spring or summer, leaving door contractors with open availability during autumn. Another benefit to choosing fall to install your door is that you will experience less energy loss since most likely neither your A/C nor your heating will be required.

Winter

Winter probably seems like the least desirable time to replace your front door. Nevertheless, just like fall, winter is an off-season for door replacement projects, and you will experience faster installation. You will notice immediate changes as soon as your sturdy, new door is resting safely in its hinges. Not only will your home’s temperatures be more comfortable, but your heating bills will get a much-needed break, as well. Just think how proud you’ll be when you greet your loved ones from your beautiful, new front door for the holidays! So, when is the best time to replace your front door? There’s no better time than now. Choose a season that is best for your home and family, and the experts here at Brock Doors and Windows would be delighted to help you with your project.
