21 Jul 5 Reasons to Replace Your Garage Door

Is your garage door old and in need of a repair? Maybe it’s a bit too noisy when it operates? This list of five reasons to replace your garage door can help you decide if a garage door replacement is right for you. 

Increase Your Home’s Value 

Are you getting ready to sell your home? Garage door replacement is at the top of the list of home improvements with the best return on investment at resale, due to its general affordability. If there are multiple garage doors facing the street, a home’s curb appeal and value are upped drastically. In a cost vs value report done by Remodel Magazine, the average payback for garage doors nationwide averages 94%. In other words, your new garage door can practically pay for itself! 

Increase Your Security & Safety 

If you haven’t considered how big a role your garage door has in the security and safety of your family and your belongings, think again. When your garage door is neglected and goes without the proper care and maintenance it needs, it will eventually get stuck in one of two ways: open, leaving your garage and home unsecure, or closed, trapping your car leaving you unexpectedly 

scrambling to get to work. Give yourself the peace of mind that comes with a well-maintained garage door, or if needed, replace your garage door in order to keep it operating smoothly keeping your home secure. 

More Energy Efficient 

Is light coming through along your garage door frame when it’s closed? If the seals and weather stripping are worn out around your garage door, then that means the elements are creeping in. When your garage door is sealed you have more control over the temperature in the garage and the living spaces above it. Replacing an old garage door with a new one that’s better insulated and sealed can help save you money right away. 

Less Operating Noise 

If your garage door is loud and rattling when in use, you may want to consider replacing it. It may seem like a normal inconvenience that can be ignored, but unfortunately, the noise (whether it’s a loose track or worn rollers) can cause irreparable damage to your door and the opening if ignored for too long. Give your ears a break and replace your garage door with one that’s equipped with noise-cutting rollers. 

More Curb Appeal 

Make your home the envy of the street! Garage doors have come a long way and the amount of combinations of styles, hardware, and materials available might even amaze you. Replacing your garage door can give your home an instant upgrade. Whether you’re getting ready to sell your home or if you’re just wanting an upgrade, a new garage door is an appealing investment.
