These days, home garages are much more than a space to store your vehicle, often doubling as a multi-functional area for storage, a workshop, gym or home office. If faced with the decision to repair or replace your garage door, consider the benefits of this quick and affordable home improvement project.
1. Boost Your Curb Appeal
Attached garages can take up one-third of your home’s facade. Enhance your home exterior with a wide range of traditional and contemporary garage door styles, colours and finishes. A new garage door can modernize and add character to your home. Pay attention to the small details, such as handles and hinges. Consider increasing natural interior light with a garage door design that includes window panes.
2. Increase the Value of Your Home
Upgrading your garage door is a quick and effective home improvement project with a high return on investment. Replace your dated garage door with a modern energy-efficient equivalent to add value to your home. A sleek new garage door upgrade will draw attention for all the right reasons, help create a positive first impression and increase your resale value.
3. Improve Your Energy Efficiency
Modern garage doors, such as Garaga and Steel-Craft, are built for the Canadian climate, providing garages with a weather-tight seal for seasonal home comfort. As an insulator, new energy-efficient garage doors can assist with climate control, saving you money on heating and cooling costs. Insulate your garage walls for additional energy efficiency.
4. Enhance Your Home Security
Older garage doors lack the same level of security as modern garage doors. Replace your garage door to protect your home and valuables from unwanted guests. Ensure you upgrade to a garage door that locks firmly, is reinforced and is equipped with the latest technology to tap into your existing home security system.
