5 Reasons to Replace Your Old Garage Door

Graphic - 5 Reasons to replace your old garage door

1.BETTER ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Your garage doors are likely the largest opening in your home and that leaves a lot of room for hot and cold air to enter the home. A well-insulated door can keep your unconditioned garage 10 to 20 degrees warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This temperature advantage helps keep rooms above and next to the garage more comfortable year-round. That’s money saved on energy bills!

2.INCREASE YOUR HOME VALUE

According to the current Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling magazine, a new garage door ranks at the top for the highest Return On Investment of all projects on the list – up to 98% ROI. Homeowners face many home improvement projects over the years and must consider the benefits of each. Replacing the garage door offers an incredible return on your investment.

3.HEIGHTEN SECURITY

Just like a security blanket for your home, a tightly sealed, properly working garage door gives you peace of mind. Perhaps the lock isn’t working right or it doesn’t close all the way. A new door can improve overall home security and bring you peace of mind.

4.ENHANCE CURB APPEAL

Your home gets one chance to make a good first impression—and your garage doors are front and center. When did you notice the high-style designs of today are not your Father’s garage doors? With the addition of handles and hinges, the style and finish combinations are endless. Pair those with contemporary windows and prepare to make the neighbors jealous!

5.BETTER RELIABILITY

A working door you can trust will operate when you need it to translates into convenience. A busy family with jam-packed schedules needs to know the door will work when called upon. There is never a good time to find your card held hostage in the garage because the door won’t open.
