According to the 2021 National Cost vs Value Report<\/a>, garage\ndoor replacement ranks as the number one most important home improvement\nproject for return on investment. In fact, homeowners that replaced their\ngarage door recouped 94.5% of the cost of the new door in home value. That\u2019s\nwhy it\u2019s a good idea to move the garage door near the top of your home\nimprovement list, especially if you want to sell your home within the next\nseveral years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to upgrading your garage door\nfor increased home value, you need to maximize three factors. These include\ncurb appeal, safety and security, and energy efficiency. If you work to develop\nthese three areas when replacing your garage door, you will see a return on\ninvestment with the sale of your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Curb Appeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Garage doors<\/a> are an important element of curb appeal for two reasons. First, garage doors can take up 30-40% of a home\u2019s exterior. This means that garage door design shapes a tremendous amount of your curb appeal. Second, in the last several decades, people have been calling garage doors the \u201cnew front door<\/a>.\u201d They have earned this title because a significant number of homeowners use the garage door as their primary entrance. For these reasons, you need to carefully consider design before choosing which will best suit your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Modern\nAluminum and Glass<\/strong> Garage Doors<\/strong> – Full view glass garage doors with an aluminum frame\nare one of the most striking options for a new modern door. Each section of the\ndoor is fitted with glass panes available in dozens of texture, thickness, and\ncolor options. A glass garage door will create stunning visual interest for the\nexterior of a mid-century, contemporary, or industrial style home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"carriage<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Carriage\nHouse Garage Door in Real or Faux Wood – <\/strong>Carriage\nhouse garage doors are a classically elegant option styled after 19th century\ncarriage houses. They feature long panels, decorative hardware, and multi-paned\nwindows. For the material of the door, you also have the option between a\ncustom-built, real wood door or a steel door with a faux wood overlay.\nDepending on your budget and the style of your home, real wood or faux wood can\nbe customized to enhance your curb appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"steel<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Steel\nGarage Doors with Windows – <\/strong>Steel garage doors are a\nreliable choice for replacement. The metal construction resists water and pest\ndamage and is available in up to three layers of insulation. To upgrade the\nlook of a steel door, adding windows is a great option that improves curb\nappeal. Windows let in natural light, but also come in frosted or etched glass\nto maintain privacy and security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety and Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to home security and family safety, buyers want to see a garage door that protects. That is why upgrading your garage door system with a smart garage door opener increases your home\u2019s value. Manufacturers outfit these smart systems with the latest technology to ensure that your garage door remains secure. Security measures include automatic garage door locks, a live and recorded video feed, and even two-way audio. With these additions, you can monitor your garage door at all times, confident that it is defending your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of a smart garage door opener<\/a> is the convenience it provides for door operation. Through an app on your phone, you will be able to open and close the door remotely and keep a log of activity. For safety mechanisms, there are ultra-sensitive eye sensors connected to an automatic reversal system. This will ensure that the garage door never injures you or a family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Energy efficiency is another important factor\nthat buyers are considering when viewing new homes. They want lower utility\nbills and a home that stays at a comfortable temperature all year. That is why\ninsulated garage doors have become a popular option for increasing home value.\nIn fact, an insulated garage door can increase your home\u2019s value<\/a> by saving on energy\ncosts and utilizing durable materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both steel and aluminum constructed garage\ndoors are available in two or three layers of insulation. A two-layered door\nwill include a steel front and exposed insulation on the interior, while a\nthree-layer insulated door will have a layer of insulation between the steel\nexterior and interior. With insulation layers, more is better. These layers\nwork to maintain temperature control for your garage and home while also acting\nto mediate noise level. With an insulated door, your garage will be comfortable\nand quiet all year round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, if you are looking for ways to\nadd value to your home, a new garage door is an excellent option to\nconsider.  Take the time to find the look\nand functionality that best fits your home and your needs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
