As you know, your garage is a hugely important part of your home. While it's known for protecting your car from theft and the elements, it contributes to so much more than that. Is your garage door reaching the end of its lifespan? Don't wait to reach out to an expert installer in your area. Here are a few of the ways you'll benefit from a new garage door replacement.

1. Curb Appeal

When people think of home upgrades and investments, they may not consider the garage, but they should. According to Remodeling Magazine, replacing your garage door has a return on investment of nearly 94% and can help improve your home's resale value. Given how much of the exterior is taken up by the garage door alone, it's something to put on the to-do list if you plan on putting your home on the market.

For clarity, curb appeal refers to the aesthetic quality of your home's exterior. Anything you do outside including landscaping, roofing maintenance, new home siding, exterior painting, and updating your garage, can play a role in enhancing that appeal. When you have a garage door that's no longer aesthetically pleasing compared to the rest of the home, it can detract from other updates you've made.

2. Updated Design

Have you decided to completely revamp the overall look of your property? As you're designing your landscaping, patio, deck, or siding, don't forget to take into account your garage door. At HQI Door Company, we offer a wide variety of materials and styles to suit your home, from custom wood to modern steel. Whether you're investing in a customized metal door, a semi-transparent fiberglass one, or a barnyard-style garage door crafted from wood, you're taking a big step to enhance your home's style. In other words, your garage doesn't have to feel like a standalone feature on your home. There are many ways to flawlessly incorporate your garage door into your existing or future home design.

3. Insulation

Are you tired of paying excessively high energy bills? Unfortunately, air can escape from many parts of the home. If you haven't updated your garage door, roofing system, or windows in a while, you could be paying the price. When you suffer from heat loss, it can cause your HVAC system to work overtime, which results in higher electricity bills as well as a shorter lifespan for the unit. That's why it's important to do what you can to insulate your home from top to bottom. With a garage door replacement, you can ensure a flawless installation with top-of-the-line materials that keep drafts to a minimum.

4. Noise Reduction

Do you have to cover your ears whenever you open or close your garage because of all the noise it makes? We hear this complaint even more often than you might think. Your garage door can be one of the noisiest aspects of your home, and the problem is, it makes noise from the outside. You may inadvertently be disturbing your neighbors, especially if you leave or come home at odd hours. After a professional garage door replacement, you can enjoy coming home without all the fanfare from the garage.

5. Home Security

Your home is your sanctuary, so you must keep it safe for you and anyone who's living there or visiting. A new garage door replacement adds to your home security as it can help to deter burglars. You can have a camera system installed so that you can always remotely access who enters or leaves your home. You can also have an automatic reversal system so that if your garage door senses something, it'll automatically go back up. This feature can reduce the chance of your garage door crashing upon you or your car.
