A new garage door replacement boosts home value. Folks looking to buy will appreciate a brand new garage door, especially if your home has an attached garage in excellent condition.

Home Appearance
Today’s modern doors have so many various colors to choose from, which is great for homeowners looking to updating the look of their homes. With different styles and finishes available, giving your home a whole new look and beautiful curb appeal is simple.
Heating & Cooling Expenses
Insulated garage doors have many benefits. For garage’s with living quarters above or used as a workspace, consider an insulated door with R-16 insulation. These doors help cold air stay in when its hot out and keep warmer air in during more freezing temps. These doors also help pay for themselves when factoring savings from heating and cooling expenses.
Garage Door Maintenance
New garage doors made of metal are easier to maintain compared to an old wood door that has paint peeling off and doesn’t look good. All you need is a little soap and water, and keeping a metal garage door clean, and nice-looking is very easy to do.
Protecting Storage
A new garage door replacement protects your personal belongings from extreme weather conditions. Many folks use extra space in the garage to keep things that are too big or have no room to store in their house. If your garage door has poor insulation, you run the risk of bad weather damaging items kept in the garage.
Increased Usage
Installing a new garage door will add more usage from your garage. A new door that’s insulated and adequately sealed means the space in your garage will be more comfortable to enjoy. Whether for storage or as an additional living space or room for working on projects.
Garage Storage Security
An additional benefit of a new garage door replacement is better security for things kept stored in the garage. Older garage doors made of metal or wood are more accessible for burglars.
Home Protection
Installing a modern garage door operation system not only protects your garage but also home. Security systems on today’s new garage openers boost the overall security of your home. Because new opener coding systems are very sophisticated compared to old models.
Additional Safety
A new garage door replacement also cuts the risk of getting hurt. Many modern garage door systems have photoelectric detectors that sense when something or somebody is trying to enter or exit the garage while the door is moving. When the sensor beam gets broke, the door will reverse automatically, eliminating potential personal injury or property damage. Newer openers are also able to turn on a light to see in dark conditions.
Home Insurance
Because you have a new garage door replacement, your home is now safe and secure. At this point, let your agent know you are trying to lower costs and if any discounts are available for home insurance payments.
