Garage Doors, The Best Home Improvement Tip

Did you know that you could dramatically transform the look and value of your home for only a few thousand dollars

, just by changing one item? And that this item is usually the last thing most people consider?

Think about it, what's the largest single object on the front of your home? Your garage door! Good street appeal is an important element of any home design. Whether you are selling your house or renovating for the long-term, you want an exterior that creates an attractive view. This can boost your home's appeal and long-term value. You only get one opportunity to make a first impression so make yours count.

But, when was the last time you bought a new door, or, when was the last time you even considered buying a new garage door? For some reason, a new garage door is way down the priority list (if its there at all) when upgrading, modernizing or preparing to sell your home. There is no logical reason for this, other than many people dont realize just how easy it and the relatively low cost for the dramatic improvements a new door can make. Even the home improvement publications only mention garage doors in passing, almost as an after thought.

So, what could a new garage door do and why? If youre renovating, to improve the overall look of your house, a new door, in a more modern colour and style that complements the renovation can dramatically improve the entire look and feel of the property. There are many new designs to choose from, from natural timber to sleek and contemporary flat panel styles. The key to selecting the right garage door is to think about your home's architectural style and colour, and choose accordingly.

If youre selling a property, a new garage door can completely modernize the look, improve the street appeal and potentially either add value to the property, improve its saleability, or both, all for only a few thousand dollars.

Even if you decide not to replace an old door, adding an automatic garage door opener to an old tilt door and having the old door professionally painted can provide some dramatic results. Theres nothing worse than showing someone around your property and then having to manually heave open an old, heavy, rusty garage door. Yet an automatic opener and lick of paint are an easy, affordable, short term alternative.

So next time you want to modernize your property, add value or sell it quickly, add fitting a new Garage Door to the top of your to do list, not the bottom.
