Things to Consider in Replacing Your Garage Door
Garage doors have many parts and pieces that can often be repaired to extend the life of your garage door. However, there comes a time when replacing your garage door simply makes more sense than repairing it.
Bid My Garage Door believes you should always be in the driver’s seat with your home and garage door decisions. However, we don’t leave you riding solo. We’re right there beside you all the way with expert knowledge and quality solutions – whatever your choice.
Here are some points to consider when working through whether to repair or replace your garage door.
1. Age of Your Garage Door
A garage door that’s between ten and twenty years old may have parts that begin to fail. A repair may extend the life of your garage door a few more years, but another repair of some sort is likely in the near future. Multiple repairs can become more costly than a replacement.
2. Functionality of Your Garage Door
If your garage door has been functioning well and only has one minor concern, it may have a good bit of life still in it, and the cost of a repair might be justified. However, if that screeching noise is now accompanied by jerky operation, water entry, and many other problems, multiple repairs may add up to costs that don’t compute compared to a new door.
3. Type of Damage
Your garage door serves many functions. One that is often overlooked is added curb appeal to your home. When deciding between repair and replacement, the aesthetic appeal of your garage door should not be ignored.
If the functional issues of your garage door are minor but adding up, and your garage door is bent, faded, or doesn’t match the style of the rest of your home, it may be time to consider an update.
New Garage Doors Add Value to Your Home
An outdated or beat-up garage door does little for the curb appeal of your home and can actually cost you money with a lack of energy efficiency.
Yes, you can spruce up the look of your garage door by replacing bent panels or with a coat of paint, but replacing your garage door can lead to a return of investment in your home value and help your home sell faster if that’s a goal.
Garage Doors Options to Accentuate Your Home’s Style
Your garage door may be the first thing people notice about your home. Sure, your garage door needs to go up and down, protect your home from the elements, and operate safely. However, none of those things mean it can’t also look great while doing so.
With so many garage door options available, it can be overwhelming. Bid My Garage Door is here to guide you through the options to find the perfect design combination to fit your needs and personality.
Type
Sectional garage doors are the most common type, but Bid My Garage Door technicians are well-versed in all garage door types and can help you make the best decision for you.
Material and Insulation
Door material and insulation can significantly affect the look and longevity of your garage door. Bid My Garage Door can advise you on the many considerations, such as climate, space, and functionality, when deciding on your door material and insulation.
Color, Finish, Windows, and Hardware
Color, finish, windows, and hardware may seem like cosmetic choices, but windows do more than impact the look of your garage door. They affect the amount of lighting in your garage and can impact security. Bid My Garage Door technicians will help you review every aspect of your new garage door choices.
