One relatively easy way to increase the value of your home is to install a new garage door. Yes, you could remodel your kitchen or a bathroom and that wouldn’t hurt anything. But perhaps the biggest return on investment for your home improvement dollar is in front of where you park your car, store a lot of your stuff or both. Your garage door.
A new door with decorative features may be just the ticket to increasing your home’s value.
Here are some of the considerations.
Doors with raised panels have a very classic look. The best part is that they can be painted in different ways to enhance the panels. This makes the door stand out far beyond what a solid color may do.
Overhead doors featuring a carriage house pattern can make a huge difference to your home’s curb appeal. They are built to resemble the look of carriage house or barn doors. Carriage style doors often look like they are on hinges and open outward, but they’re actually convenient overhead doors that are completely out of the way when they are open.
Windows on doors can also make a big difference to the door’s appearance. Palladium style windows, if they match the decor of your house can really make an great impression. What ever type of window you have in your door, the idea is to match the type of window in the rest of the house.
Doors can be made from semi-opaque acrylic. They let light pass though the door but no details of the items inside the garage can be discerned. Although this style is highly unusual and very expensive, on the right house they can present an amazing appearance. This is specially true on a contemporary style house and if the door panels are backlit.
If your budget is tight, but you want to make a dramatic improvement to the appearance of your house, you can paint your door in just a couple of hours. The transformation will be stunning, particularly if you use multiple colors.
An updated garage door adds 1% to 4% to the value of your home. That’s a lot for just painting your door, specially if you can get to the 4% side of the range.
