Garage Door Replacement

Just like any other part of your home, your garage door may require replacement over time. Below are four of the most common reasons for replacing a garage door.

Damaged Garage Door

Although repair may sometimes be more cost-effective, it’s not always possible if the damage to your door is severe or the door is old. In these instances, replacement may be necessary. If you notice that your garage door is lopsided, dented, or otherwise compromised, don’t wait until the damage compounds to replace it. A damaged garage door can be more than just an eyesore. It can also pose increased safety hazards, including:

• Risk of your door suddenly falling onto your property, vehicle, or a person.
• Greater chance of electrical shock.
• Unsecured access to your home if your garage door becomes stuck in an open position.

Outdated Garage Door

If your garage door is outdated, consider immediate replacement to increase your home’s comfort, safety, and appeal. You may have an outdated garage door that needs to be replaced if you’re encountering problems such as these:

• Temperature discomfort and higher energy bills because of poor insulation.
• Difficult accessibility due to lack of modern features like automatic openers.
• Lackluster exterior appearance from wear and tear.
• Decreased home security due to lessened durability.

Desire to Improve Home Value

You may want to increase your home’s value by updating your garage door for aesthetic reasons. Making simple changes, such as adding windows or a different color to your garage door, could be the factor that takes your home’s facade from good to great.

Desire to Enhance Security

If home security is your major concern, it’s time to evaluate whether your garage door needs to be replaced. Newer garage doors are built with high-grade materials like steel or solid wood to prevent intruders from breaking in. Add a smart opener with a camera for the ultimate peace of mind.

Benefits of Replacing Your Garage Door

Besides the obvious perk of having a new-looking door, replacing your garage door has several other advantages:

• Less maintenance: Older garage doors may need to be maintained more frequently than newer ones, leading to more money and time spent.
• Insulate your garage: Adding a layer of insulation will prevent temperature fluctuations in the garage and increase the comfort level of adjoining rooms - especially bedrooms above the garage.
• Reduced noise: A rickety garage door is an annoying one. After a garage door replacement, opening and closing your door is likely less noisy (and more pleasing to your neighbors’ ears).
• More customization options: Add windows, decorative hinges, a wood-appearing overlay, or other enhancements when you customize your new garage door.
