A New Garage Door Could Add 4% Value To Your Home

A new garage door might not just make a property look better, it could help to insulate it too.

Edmond, United States – September 18, 2017 /PressCable/ —

Property owners wanting to add to the appreciation value of their home should consider their garage door. Studies from real estate agencies have found that a new or improved garage door could add up to 4% value to a property.

Whilst many homeowners own garages, not every homeowner uses them. This may be due to their door being in disrepair or simply having no purpose for their garage. However abandoning this space could be having a negative impact on the value of their home.

To give perspective of how much kerb appeal a garage door could be offering, the average garage door takes up an average of 30% of a home’s overall front-facing appearance. Some of the most popular door choices are steel and wood. However, custom wood overlays are fast becoming a new stylish trend. These doors boast the structural integrity of steel whilst offering the aesthetic value of wood. Other stylish choices of material include aluminium and even frosted glass.

A new garage door might not just make a property look better, it could help to insulate it too. Old garage doors can often be a culprit for letting in drafts and letting out heat. Nowadays, garage doors can be insulated using materials such as polystyrene foam. A more effective method, and a popular choice amongst those wanting to live more economically, is a fiberglass door. Not only could such a door save a homeowner money on their gas bill, it’s also a visually attractive material.

There are also sustainable materials to consider for those that are truly invested in being eco-friendly. Some homeowners are now buying new garage doors made only out of recycled materials. There are plenty of manufacturers that provide such door and a garage repair/replacement service is likely to be able to help those find such an option.

Damage can also be something to consider when upgrading a garage door. Companies such as Discount Garage Door specialize in garage door repair and replacement. Some of the most common repairs they attend to include repairing broken springs, repairing broken cables, realigning off-track doors and replacing doors that have become rusted or dented. Whether or not a homeowner uses their garage, fixing up such damage could restore their garage door’s functionality and aesthetics, boosting their home’s value.

Whilst many garage door faults will occur naturally over time, some can be prolonged with regular garage door maintenance. Using lubrication on parts such as hinges and springs could stop these moving components from wearing as quickly.

Homeowners should also pay attention to their garage door’s finish and paintwork. This may become damaged through weather exposure over time. Applying a new finish or investing in a brand new garage door could help restore its aesthetic value. Repainting a garage door could be an easy DIY job, whilst replacing a garage door is more likely to require professional assistance.
