Upgrade your garage, Upgrade your home
In addition to replacing your windows and taking care of your lawn, changing your garage door can increase the value and curb appeal of your home. 70% of realtors agree: a new garage door can help a home sell faster and for more money.
Garage door replacement is relatively quick and affordable compared to other home improvement projects. It is a great way to ensure your home stands out. Your garage door is one of the first things people see. In Florida, many homes feature their garage door front and center. Consider how your garage door adds or detracts from your home’s curb appeal. Remodeling Magazine suggests that upscale garage door replacements pay off in terms of curb appeal and resale value. Studies suggest that a new garage door, with the proper architectural style, can add up to 4% to the value of your home.
Matching the Style of Your Home
The best garage door choice for your home depends on the design you are creating. For example, a steel or wood feature door is the perfect solution for a Colonial or Victorian home. There are ways to add to the look by including iron hinges, handles and hardware. If you are updating your home to a coastal modern look, you should look for options in stained wood or glass with a powder coated frame.
Improving Safety
In a state known for sunshine, we also contend with hurricanes and storms. Consider a stronger, reenforced door to ensure greater protection to your home. A new door will ensure you are ready for the next storm, before the time comes. Do not be one of the thousands looking rush to secure your most value asset – you can have confidence now.
Home’s safety is another way to increase the value of your home. New garage door systems have security features like dynamic security codes, which change every time the door is operated. Many new units allow integration to your smartphone, so you can get instant updates (and answer the age-old question: did I close the garage the door).
Growing your Energy Efficiency
New garage doors are designed for energy efficiency, sealed and insulated. Adding insulation will help keep the air outside…out, allowing better control of the temperature of your garage. Insulation can also help with sound proofing.
