Looking for High ROI Home Upgrades? Consider Garage Door Replacement
Let’s consider Remodeling Magazine’s National “Cost versus Value” rankings for 2020 for a second. As expected, garage door replacement ranks as one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) among remodeling projects for the fifth year in a row. In 2019, garage door replacement came in at 92% ROI.
So, if you plan on putting your home on the market or are looking to improve your curb appeal, upgrading the outside can go a long way toward adding value to your property. But here’s the catch: not every available upgrade will yield a considerable return, and if you choose the wrong improvements, you could stand to lose your hard-earned money.
Don’t fret; a new garage door installation offers the highest potential yield of all exterior home improvements. As a bonus, depending on the type of material you choose, purchasing a new garage door generally requires a small initial investment compared to many other exterior home improvement projects.
At Door Doctor, we’re committed to helping Montreal, Ottawa, and Kingston homeowners improve the overall look, performance, and value of their property. Below, we’re discussing how new garage door installation delivers one of the highest ROIs in the home improvement industry; read on to know more.
Why a Garage Door Replacement?
Garage door replacement is high in these rankings for two reasons. The first is curb appeal. Visibility is key for curb appeal. Your garage door is one of the most-visible parts of your home from the curb. It can make a massive difference in the home’s look if the garage door is replaced, especially if it is upgraded even a little.
The second is resale value. As a wise home seller, you’ll do well to repair the garage door. It will not only improve the curb appeal, but it’ll also increase the resale value of your home by an amount equal to the cost of the new garage door.
Choosing the Best Garage Door for Your Needs
If you’re planning to invest in a new garage door installation, how do you determine the type of door that best meets your needs? The first and perhaps the most important thing for you to consider is curb appeal. A new garage door is an excellent way to make a strong first impression, either for prospective buyers or just for passersby. To create a genuinely appealing exterior aesthetic, consider the following:
Balance – Think about what type of architectural style your home possesses and your exterior colour scheme. Select a garage door that complements the overall design of your home and the colour palette of your siding, trim, soffit, and fascia.
Insulation – Determine whether your garage shares adjacent walls with any frequently used living areas. If so, opting for an insulated and energy-efficient garage door will help reduce your annual cooling and heating costs while limiting operation-related noise levels. Insulated garage doors usually command a higher ROI than their non-insulated counterparts.
Contrast - If you want your garage door to make a statement, opt for a contrasting colour scheme that can make your new door stand out as one of the exterior design features of your home.
