Of the many ways you can add value to your home, one of the most overlooked is a garage door replacement. Although it’s one of the most frequently used entrances, many people forgo an upgrade unless the door is completely inoperable. However, a new garage door offers more than basic functionality; it can increase the style, security, and comfort of your home.

Curb Appeal

A home’s curb appeal covers everything from the grass on the lawn all the way up to the roofing material. If you’ve updated everything else on the exterior, such as the siding, windows, and doors, you should also invest in a garage door replacement so it all looks cohesive.

Security

A broken door or an older opener are security risks—especially if you have an attached garage. Unless you have a security system wired throughout the house, any intrusions can leave your home vulnerable. Newer doors are much more durable, making them more difficult to break or pry open. As for the openers, the technology behind them has improved tremendously. Previously, they operated on a single radio frequency code, which could easily be scanned and breached; now, they use rolling codes, which change every time.

Comfort

Finally, just like the standard doors in your home, garage doors provide much better insulation than their predecessors, allowing you to regulate the temperature throughout the space. In time, this will also lead to a decrease in your heating and cooling costs!
