Obviously, garage door replacement is necessary if the door is not functional, or in a state of disrepair, but there are other advantages to replacing a garage door, including added value to your home. Just ask any real estate agent how much easier it is to sell a home with an attractive garage. Here are some other reasons that you might not have thought about.

CURB APPEAL

Garage doors come in a range of designs, materials and colors – all of which will increase the level of your home’s curb appeal. This will be a big factor if you decide to sell.

REDUCE HEATING AND COOLING BILLS

Apart from aesthetics, a well-insulated garage is a good investment. Over time, it will pay for itself by keeping the cold out during winter and the heat out in summer – thereby reducing your energy costs. This saving can be achieved if there is a living area above the garage, if the garage is used as a workshop, or if your family commonly enters the house from the garage.

REDUCE TIME SPENT ON MAINTENANCE

A beautiful raised panel insulated steel door is not only energy efficient – it’s also low maintenance. These doors have easy-to-clean, pre-painted exteriors with insulated cores, and they are designed to meet the most demanding requirements. You will soon find yourself taking for granted the durability, longevity and smooth operation with this type of garage door replacement.

IS YOUR GARAGE MORE THAN A STOREROOM OR A PLACE TO PARK CARS?

If your garage is used as a workshop, office, playroom or studio, an insulated door will make it a comfortable place to be in – all year round.
