Replacing your garage door is something that most of us put off as long as possible, sadly. It really shouldn’t be. A new garage door system can actually offer quite a few benefits. Here are nine reasons to make the change that might surprise you.
Boost Home Value
Looking to sell your home soon, or at some point down the road? Adding a new garage door can really bump up the value of your home, and will more than pay for itself when the time comes to sell.
Get the Look You Want
That old garage door probably isn’t all that visually appealing. You can get the look that you want with a new pre-finished garage door in just about any color you want. You can customize everything from the paint to the style of the windows.
Cut Down on Energy Expenses
Heating and cooling your home is the single largest expense you incur, other than your mortgage payment. You can reduce your expenses by investing in a garage door that is insulated and airtight – the R-16 value will ensure that heat and cold stay where you want them.
Less Maintenance
Old wood garage doors need care and maintenance over time. That costs you money and time. A metal garage door can look great for decades without much in the way of TLC.
Ensure Protection for Your Stored Items
Store things in your garage? If so, chances are good that you’ve seen some of them start to deteriorate from the temperature extremes. By replacing your garage door system, you add better protection with advanced thermal barrier technology.
Do More with Your Garage
Do you long to turn your garage into a workroom or a playroom for your kids but hesitate because of the temperature extremes? A new insulated garage door can help.
Get Better Security
Chances are good you never leave home without locking the front door, but how much thought do you give to the garage door? A thin wood door can be easily drilled through or even kicked in, but with a 1.75-inch metal skinned door, you enjoy greater security and peace of mind.
Convenience and Protection
Garage door opener systems can use a rolling code solution for opening that automatically changes the garage door code every time you open it. Now, you can add even more convenience with a Wi-Fi app for your smartphone.
Reduce Injuries
Automatic garage doors and even manual doors can be dangerous. Using a photoelectric reversal system (required since 1993) can reduce the chance of injury.
Wrapping Up
In the end, buying a new garage door is an investment in security, safety and protection. It can help you lower your utility bills, add value to your home, and even improve its appearance. Really, replacing your old garage door should be a “no brainer”.
