We all know what it’s like to nervously watch that one appliance or that one piece of equipment that clearly doesn’t have a lot of life left attempt to perform its required operation. We tell ourselves that if we can just make it through the winter, or the summer, or the next year, then we’ll finally get around to replacing it. And while it’s certainly no pleasant feeling, it is important to remember the quality-of-life improvements that come on the other side of that replacement, after you replace your garage door.
Four Reasons to Replace Your Garage Door Now
For many people, their aging garage door is one of those examples. And while it’s tempting to just wait until the thing breaks, it may be worth considering why now is the best time to finally upgrade.
Security
Your feelings about this point may depend on where your garage is located and what you keep inside of it, but in most cases, whatever is in the garage you’d like to keep protected. Not only can a new door be designed to fit securely, many of them can now be programmed to open and close right from your phone, meaning that old Did I shut the garage door? panic can be a thing of the past.
Curb Appeal and Home Value
A new garage door can dramatically increase the appearance of your home. Even if you decide on a simple design, the fresh look of it will go a long way to increasing your curb appeal. If you are thinking about selling your home, it might even be the extra cherry on top that nudges a potential buyer the right direction.
Insulation
Newer garage doors are designed to keep the harshest outside elements outside where they belong. If your garage is attached to your house, this can have the additional benefit of shaving down your utilities bill.
Reduced Maintenance
Whether your current garage is held together by spit and duct tape or it’s just a little worse for the wear, a new door carries with it some peace of mind and minimal maintenance needs.
