Spring Refresh: Transform Your Home’s Entryway with a New Front Door & Paint

As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to give your home’s exterior a fresh, welcoming look. One of the most impactful (and cost-effective) ways to upgrade your curb appeal is by refreshing your front door and entryway paint.

At Dad For Hire, we recently completed a stunning front door and entryway makeover that completely revitalized the home’s appearance. Today, we’re sharing the before-and-after photos, along with tips on how a simple update can make a big difference for your home this spring and summer.

Before: A Dated, Worn-Out Entryway

The home’s original front door had seen better days—faded paint, minor wear and tear, and an aged color that no longer complemented the house. The surrounding trim and entryway walls were also looking tired, with peeling paint and a lack of contrast.

Key Issues:
Faded, bubbling or chipped paint on the door and trim
Lack of contrast between the door and siding
Wear and tear from weather exposure

After: A Bold, Inviting Entryway

We transformed this home’s entrance with a freshly painted front door in a rich, modern hue, along with crisp, clean trim and a repainted entryway. The result? Instant curb appeal and a welcoming first impression.

Key Improvements:
New front door paint in a standout color (deep navy, classic black, or bold red are great choices)
Freshly painted trim & siding for a polished look
Added contrast to highlight architectural details
Sealed & protected surfaces to withstand summer sun and rain

Why Refresh Your Front Door & Entryway for Spring/Summer?

  1. Boost Curb Appeal – Your front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior. A fresh coat of paint makes it pop.

  2. Increase Home Value – A well-maintained entryway enhances perceived (and actual) home value.

  3. Protect Against Weather – Quality exterior paint helps guard against UV rays, moisture, and temperature changes.

  4. Quick & Affordable Update – Compared to major renovations, painting is a budget-friendly way to make a big impact.

Choosing the Right Front Door Color

Not sure which color to pick? Here are some trending (and timeless) options:

  • Classic Black – Sleek and sophisticated

  • Deep Blue or Navy – Modern and inviting

  • Bold Red or Brick – Warm and traditional

  • Soft Sage or Gray-Green – Subtle and earthy

Pro Tip: Match your door color to your home’s existing siding and roof tones for a cohesive look.
