Did you know that replacing your garage door increases your return on investment? However, it can be difficult to know when you should replace your garage door. If there’s a small dent or a few scrapes, does this mean you need an entirely new garage door?
Slow Door
If you garage door is extremely slow when you open or close it,it’s time for a new door. It should really only take a few moments between the time you hit the button and the time the garage door opens and closes.
Noisy
It’s easy to differentiate an older garage door from a new one since new garage doors are very quiet. It might be time for a new garage door if you notice a dramatic increase in sound.
Attractive
If your garage door is just downright ugly, don’t second guess purchasing a new garage door. The aesthetics of the exterior of your home is huge! You can easily boost your home’s curb appeal with a modern garage door.
Security
New garage doors feature security elements such as automatic reversal when the garage door comes into contact with a random object. If your current garage door doesn’t offer any safety, get a new garage door.
Constant Breakdowns
This is the biggest indicator that you need a new garage door. Not only is it frustrating to have a garage door break down constantly but it can get expensive to have it repaired all the time. At a certain point you need to ask yourself if it’s worth it to keep having it repaired.
