Huntington Handyman Announces Update to Door Installation and Repair Page for Alexandria Residents

ALEXANDRIA, VA — October 25, 2025 — Huntington Handyman, a top handyman service in the Huntington neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, is proud to announce new content on door updates.

Winter is just around the corner in Northern Virginia. With the coming of winter comes drafts, rising utility bills, and water leakage through out-of-date doors. For these reasons, Huntington Handyman is announcing a preparatory content update. The newly updated Door Installation and Repair page offers clear guidance for Alexandria homeowners who want to be prepared for Winter 2025-2026. The new content explains how upgrading one's door can positively impact energy savings. Fortunately, Huntington Handyman can install the door, making it easy for the homeowner.

"People underestimate doors in terms of energy savings and peace of mind," said Jesse Scribner, owner of Huntington Handyman. "One loose hinge or a warped frame, and half the heat slips out. Fix a door early. It will pay for itself."

Interested persons can review the updated page at https://www.huntingtonhandymanva.com/doorinstallation. Alexandria is one of the oldest communities in the United States. Located near Washington, D.C., the historic city features many older homes. Upgrading a door that is twenty, thirty, or even forty years old can have a dramatic impact on energy savings. A new door also enhances the home's "curb appeal," which may be beneficial if a home sale is in the future. Neighborhoods in Alexandria, such as Huntington, Belle View, and Hybla Valley, are in most need of door upgrades, as many homes were built long before "energy efficiency" became a priority.

A tight, well-installed door stops the cold at the threshold. It's simple. It is effective. And, for many homes, it is overdue.

Here is background on this release. Doors have been around since people created huts or houses. The ancient Egyptians built wooden doors to block heat and sand. Romans added hinges, just as modern people take hinges for granted. Medieval builders made doors thick enough to keep winter cold outside. Today's doors draw inspiration from the history of doors, featuring sturdier frames, insulated cores, and improved materials. Even in historic Alexandria, improving a door to a modern quality door can be done in a way that preserves its historic look.

A new door isn't just cosmetic. Here are the advantages to upgrading one's door.

• Lower Energy Costs: Less heat loss means lower energy bills.

• No More Drafts: Modern doors block the movement of air.

• Better Soundproofing: Noisy neighborhoods and neighbors are stopped at a sound barrier.

• Stronger Security: Criminals hate new doors because they are stronger and have better locks.

• Moisture Protection: A modern door keeps water out.

  
  

Huntington Handyman handles more than doors, of course. The handyman service operates across Alexandria, focusing on household repairs. Winter exposes every weakness in a home. The company will also consult on other winterizing upgrades as needed.
