Garage Doors, The Unsung Home Investment Hero

Is a new garage door a good investment?

For most of us, when we have a few extra dollars to spend, a garage door isn’t the first thing on our list. The pain of #adulting is real. BUT we’re here to propose that getting a new garage door is actually a great investment!

Here’s why:

The National Association of Realtors says the average garage door installation is $2,100 but when selling your home, you’ll recoup almost the full amount!

New garage doors also go a long way when it comes to curb appeal and impressing potential buyers. A survey found that 70% of realtors agree that a new garage door helps sell a house faster and can even increase the selling price by $8k-$14k!

But it’s not just about curb appeal, there are actual financial benefits too.

Energy

Well-insulated garage doors can keep your garage up to 20 degrees warmer in winter and that much cooler in summer. A well-insulated garage can translate to the temperature of your home! Ultimately, a new garage door affecting the temperature of your entire home translates to energy savings!

Safety

Garages are one of the first targets for theft. They are typically unsupervised and not alarmed. And older garages simply aren’t secure. A new garage door will increase the security of your home, which goes a long way in protecting you against potential losses, not to mention the savings on home insurance!

Reduced Maintenance

An old garage door will, in the long run, cost you more money in maintenance and repairs. Whether it’s minor repairs like paint or dents to more major repairs that may affect the safety or integrity of your home, getting a new garage door installed will be a better long-term investment.
