One of the most important things that you need to do as a landlord is show prospective tenants that your rental property looks fresh and inviting.

This is important because, if a tenant thinks your property is outdated, or in bad shape, they won’t want to live there, and will continue looking for another rental property.

You may be wondering how you can improve the look of your rental property, especially if it’s an older single-family home?

The answer is to replace the doors on your rental property because doing this will give your property a fresh, new look.

Front Door – When choosing a front door for your property, the first thing that you need to do is decide on the type of material that you want your front door to be made out of.

There are many types of front doors available including wood, steel, and fiberglass.

Although wood is iconic, it can require routine maintenance and may wear out easily in the elements.

Steel is great because it’s highly durable, but it can dent easily, so that leaves fiberglass, one of the best options for front doors today.

Fiberglass is a great material for front doors because most fiberglass front doors on the market have the same look, feel, and texture as wood, but the difference is that they don’t swell, warp, or need routine maintenance.

Depending on where you shop, a typical front door may cost you upwards of $1000, but it’s realistic to find them priced as low as $500. Just make sure that you choose a front door that’s made from excellent materials so you can have confidence that it’s not going to wear out easily.

Interior Doors – During the process of shopping for interior doors, you’re going to be faced with a variety of choices including wood and faux wood doors.

If your rental property needs three or more interior doors, it’s best to stick with the same type of interior door for your home so that you can carry the same look through the property.

For best results with interior doors, you should consider solid-core doors. These doors are excellent at reducing noise and will provide your tenants with greater comfort.

Solid-core doors are also very affordable. You can purchase them online for as little as $50 per door and have them shipped to your favorite DIY store near your rental property.

Pro Tip – Replacing interior doors can be a hassle, regardless if you are a new or inexperienced landlord. This is why you may want to consider hiring a handyman to replace those doors for you since this will save time, money, and ensure that the job is done correctly.
