Curb Appeal and Your Garage Door

/

Improving the outdoor look of your home is important. Check out this guest post about one way to help your curb appeal.

Think about how much time, energy and money we put into improving the look and functionality of our homes. We want to update our bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, landscaping and curb appeal. We want our homes to look great and we want them to increase in value. That requires smart and targeted investment. One of the easiest and biggest bang for the bucks on improving the look of your home is by replacing your garage door panels. That’s right, simply changing your garage door panels can entirely update the look of your home.

For many homes, the garage door can take up most of the front of the house. If the front of your residence is just one big garage door, you can make it a design feature of your home and improve the value and curb appeal at the same time. Did you know that a garage door retrofit has the highest ROI of any home improvement project? The great news is that a garage door panel replacement requires a remarkably small investment and can make a tremendous impact on the look of your home.

Whether you choose modern or traditional garage doors it will help set the tone for your home and allow you to be more creative by adding:

  • windowpanes and inserts

  • horizontal patterns

  • vertical lines

  • barn door style cross beams

  • decorative hardware

Garage Doors come in various materials such as steel, aluminum, wood, composite or fiberglass. Be creative with the window, inserts, size, shape, and hardware options. Incorporate decorative accessories like potted plants to the sides of the garage entrance and exterior lighting to add more curb appeal to your garage wall. What style fits your home? Midcentury, modern, traditional or somewhere in between? Choose to upgrade your garage door and make your home stand out and set the tone for your neighborhood.
