A garage door acts as an entryway to the house, security for the cars or other contents, and a vast expanse of the front view for many homes. When a garage door can be repaired, that may be a preferable option. But, there are other times when a replacement is a more desirable choice. Here are some of the reasons people in Arizona buy a new garage door:
Replace a garage door when it gets near the end of its lifespan. Newer garage door models feature excellent options such as more economical operation, better safety, quieter performance, and Smart choices offer a better value for the money than ever before. Old doors can’t compete with the functions and economy of new doors.
An ugly or dated door will drag down the value of the property and make the homeowner unhappy. Replacement is optimal if the homeowner is selling their home, and curb appeal suddenly becomes an issue.
Once in a while, someone will crash into their garage door, or storm winds or other accidents will damage it. Sometimes, a DIY gone wrong will damage a garage door beyond repair, too, which is why we don’t recommend you do more than the yearly safety test. Beyond that, the smaller bumps and dings will eventually make a new garage door a reasonable investment.
The newer technology which has evolved for garage doors offers an awful lot of security and control for the more modern garage doors. As we’ve mentioned in a previous blog, chain drives usually have wifi built into them. The kids may be old enough that you want to add a keypad or other features, as well.
Age and many small repairs is a sign that it’s time to get rid of the old door. Eventually, even the most patient of homeowners will tire of the cost and annoyance of repairing a garage door and decide to replace it.
Within the last five or ten years, the insulation of garage doors has improved dramatically. The energy efficiency of a garage door can have a direct impact on the energy efficiency of the home, even if the garage isn’t heated or cooled. The effect of an insulated garage door will be particularly noticeable if the garage faces south or west or if there is living space above it. Sometimes a customer will ask us for a new garage door because they’re trying to get their energy usage under control, and would rather have a better garage door than a higher utility bill.
Regardless of the reason a homeowner decides to replace their garage door, it will also require a garage door opener. We offer an assortment of doors and openers in many different types and styles. We will work with you to make sure you get the best garage door and opener for your situation.
