Perhaps the Greatest Way to Add Curb Appeal to Your Home – New Garage Doors!

Most people think of garage doors solely in the functional sense. If it opens and closes on demand, then all is well with the world. However, when you consider that the garage door is the largest visual of most homes, it makes sense to make them stand out. This is particularly true if curb appeal is important to you – and it should be if you plan to sell your home one day! Buyers often do drive-by inspections before they make an appointment to see the inside. Add some exciting new garage doors to your home to increase the interest in your home by more than 100%. More interest means a higher sales price which could easily cover more than the cost of installing stylish new garage doors.

Wood Appearance

With all the new styles out there you won’t have to sacrifice the durability and security of a steel garage door, even if you want the look of a wood door. A wood appearance is a very popular option right now, including the very popular carriage-style. Various styles that mimic wood give you everything from a stained wood to a painted wood appearance.

Orientation Style

Garage doors come in styles that look horizontal or give the appearance of being vertically operated. A vertical appearance is ideal for making the garage doors appear taller than they actually are which can lend an aesthetically pleasing look to your home that is unique and gains extra attention.

You can also get some great effects by positioning new garage door windows vertically.

Windows

Adding a row of windows serves more than one purpose. Not only does it add a luxurious look, windows provide additional light during the day in your garage. If you use your garage for hobbies, laundry, and other activities, the added light will be welcome.

Miscellaneous Options

Your garage door can be as unique as you want it to be. For instance, an ultra-modern example is using an all-glass garage door as a real fashion statement. Not only can they be used as a regular garage door, but also as a moving exterior wall in another part of your home for a unique way to connect to the outdoors. You can also add other features to any new garage door or an existing one – add a pergola with vining flowers, an antique light, or specialty hardware to make your garage door reflect your personality.
