Let’s face
it, Garage doors take up a lot of visual real estate. When installing a garage door always keep in
mind that this household equipment will either be adding or detracting from
your curb appeal which in turn will be directly affecting the resale value of
your home.
There are
many things to think about when installing a new door. First try to take into consideration the décor
of your home. You would never pair up a
modern looking home with a picket white fence, right? So why would you pair up
an inappropriate garage door to your home. If your house is composed of loud colors then
by all means go with a hot pink garage door, but if you have a rustic looking
house you might consider going with an all wooden garage door.
When
choosing the proper door look at materials as well. A wooden door offers the qwidest range of design
options. It also works pretty well in
all climates. The downside is that wooden
doors are the most expensive. Steel is
typically less expensive than wood depending on how thick you choose to
go. The downside for steel is it can
rust so if you live around the coast you might want to avoid installing one of
these.
Aluminum is
another option you can go with. Aluminum
doors tend to be hovering around the same price as steel doors but do not
rust. If you do go with aluminum
remember to go with a thicker caliber door so you avoid denting your door.
Fiberglass
and vinyl are available on the market and are budget-friendly and
rustproof. The downside is that there
are not as many options on the market. You
might have to settle for a design or color you really aren’t fond of.
When
choosing a garage door it is always wise to hire professionals for your installation
needs. Hudson Valley Overhead Doors and Operators
