The best part about the seemingly impossible choice that is fiberglass versus wood, is that you really can’t go wrong, and either way, your door will be the talk of the neighborhood. Linda from two doors down will be jealous she didn’t upgrade first and will be dying to know where you got your beautiful new door, whether it’s wood or fiberglass. Regardless of how great being the talk of the neighborhood will be, it’s not Linda’s opinion that matters, it’s yours. Finding the right door, that not only looks amazing , but also fits your needs is of the utmost importance.
