I really need some ideas for this basement front entrance, it’s become an albatross as far as what to do.
Recently remodeled the basement, this being the last thing to do.

The door is not a problem, it’s just the finish around the door, don’t really want to use vinyl or wood siding, brick veneer?
Well it’s expensive and special order really don’t want to wait.
I’m open to anything as long as it looks nice and reasonably priced, any ideas would greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

It certainly has a kind of gritty urban charm. Maybe a hideaway for the Punisher.

In keeping with the general ambiance, an unadorned solid steel industrial entry would seem most appropriate. One of the most impressive lofts I've seen was hidden behind the most brutal exterior.

A steel door might be to commercial.

thanks again

If it were mine, I'd keep it rough and ready and uninviting. Commercial with a steel frame with only a small lite or none. Once the door is in, rough brick or filled block with rebar or solid concrete blocks; stucco finish on top if you wish.
