One somewhat easy tactic to add to the worth of your home is to install a new garage door. Yes, you could remodel your kitchen or a bathroom and that would not harm anything. But maybe the biggest return on investment for your home improvement dollar is in front of where you put 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 traditional look. The best part is that they can be painted in different ways to enhance the panels. This makes the door stand out far past what a solid color may do.
Overhead doors featuring a carriage house pattern can make a enormous 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 are really convenient overhead doors that are completely out of the way when they are open.
Windows on doors can also make a large difference to the door’s appearance. Palladium style windows, if they match the decor of your home can really make an huge 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 home.
Doors can be made from semi-opaque acrylic. They let light pass though the door but no details of the objects inside the garage can be discerned. Although this style is extremely unusual and can be very expensive, on the right home they can present an remarkable appearance. This is particularly true on a contemporary style home and if the door panels are backlit.
If your budget is stretched, but you desire to make a dramatic improvement to the appearance of your home, 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 house. That’s a lot for just painting your door, especially if you can get to the 4% side of the range.
