Retaining value on a new garage door.


Having a new garage door installed, you might think it's an ordeal in itself. The good news is its really not.
Not only does it look good and sound great but it puts that curb appeal back into your home.
According to regional data the recouping costs of a garage door right now are at 78%

How do you make your home look better this spring without depleting your budget? An annual study of home improvement projects has found the answer is no further away than your garage.

Homeowners who upgrade their garage doors with either mid-range or upscale replacements can expect to see some of the best returns on investment (ROI) among popular home renovation projects. Even better, the survey found that garage door replacement is incredibly economical compared to other projects like family room additions, deck additions and kitchen remodels. 

Down the road when it comes time to sell,  mid-range garage door replacement will yield an average 83.7 percent return on investment (ROI), while an upscale garage door will deliver an average 82.9 percent ROI. Why so high? Take a look at your home and you’ll see. For many homes, a garage door comprises up to 40 percent of the façade. That means that when you replace an ordinary or old door with a new one, your home becomes the stand-out in your neighborhood.
