If you have a home improvement list a mile long, it can be hard to know exactly what you should start on next. You always want to tackle projects that can really have an impact on the value of your property. Here are 9 great reasons why that next project should be a new garage door system.
1) Garage doors give your house more value.
Whether you are trying to sell or just investing in your property, the value always rises when you have attractive, modern features that are lower maintenance. New garage doors meet all these criteria.
2) Garage doors can improve the curb appeal of your house.
You can give your home an entirely new look with a modern garaged door! Choose a decorative style with windows, or go for a low-maintenance baked-on paint (which you can get in a huge variety of colors).
3) R‑16 garage doors save you money.
Properly insulated and airtight garage doors keep out the winter cold and the summer heat, meaning you’ll pay fewer energy costs over the course of the year.
4) Modern garage doors require less of your time.
Most modern garage doors are almost maintenance-free. They come with a pre-finished surface that doesn’t need much attention to look great year-round.
5) Garage doors protect your items from Mother Nature.
If you are like most people, you use your garage to store all your seasonal items that just won’t fit indoors. Keep these things safe from extreme temperatures when you have a well-insulated garage door.
6) Modern garage doors expand the usable living space of your home!
Have you ever seen a designer home online where the garage had been turned into a play room for the kids, or a cool workspace for the adults? Well‑insulated garage doors turn the space into a comfortable living zone that you can use.
7) Garage doors keep your home safe.
Modern garage doors, which are at least 1 ¾” thick and have a metal skin front and back, are much more resilient against potential break-ins.
8) Modern garage door openers are also safety systems.
In recent years, garage door systems have been designed so that you can use a Wi‑Fi app to operate your opener from anywhere. Garage doors made since 1993 also use a rolling code system to prevent any tech-savvy thieves from breaking in.
9) Garage door systems protect you and your family from harm.
Photoelectric reversal systems, which have been mandatory since 1993, are little sensors that stop the door from shutting if something passes by the sensor in the path of the door. This is very important if you have kids or pets who may not know to stay out of the way.
In conclusion
At the end of the day, a new garage door is a very valuable investment for your home. Increase the value, get more space, and stay safer in your house.
