In a separate study, more than 71 percent of Realtors nationwide felt that an attractive new garage door added as much as 4 percent of the selling price. That’s a bump of $10,000 on a $250,000 home, which means that a new garage door can pay for itself.
Choosing the right design
Before you begin your garage door project, make sure you see the wide range of new styles available. The right one will complement and enhance your home’s personality.
A helpful website is GarageWowNow.com, a non-commercial site developed by the garage door industry. The site includes before and after photos and displays many fresh styles introduced in recent years from leading manufacturers.
The one-day makeover
A local professional door dealer can help you find the right look for your home and install the door correctly, quickly and safely. This delivers a stunning home makeover in only a few hours, with no clean-up and no mess.
But don’t try to install the door yourself. It’s a complex and dangerous task, performed with springs under extremely high tension.
With a small investment of time and money, a stunning new garage door can make your home the envy of the neighborhood. And you can be confident that your investment will pay off in the short and the long run.
