Bob Vila, known as the home improvement guru and the long-time host of This Old House, published an article last year titled, “3 Ways it Pays to Get a New Garage Door”. The purpose of the article was to share the proven values a homeowner can gain by replacing their garage doors, including greater curb appeal, lower energy bills, and less maintenance for years to come.
Not only has this long-time authority in the remodeling space expressed the excellent return on investment (ROI) gained from new garage door replacements, Remodeling magazine has also just published its annual “Cost vs Value Report” for 2022. Once again, replacing your garage doors continues to have the top ROI in home improvements. The report indicates an average garage door replacement cost of $4,041 would allow a homeowner to recoup a 93.3% return on investment, or $3,769. New garage door replacements proved a higher value than a kitchen remodeling price of $28,279—offering a 71.2% ROI. And, a roof replacement costing $51,436 only offered a 54.8% coupe value—$28,196.
Garage doors are a large focal point to your home’s curb appeal and relative to so many home improvement options, it is one that can be least costly, but offer the most ROI. Today, there are so many colors, styles, textures, materials and accessories for you to make your garage doors unique and perfect just for your home’s style.
But where do you start? Often the first step is to get a general understanding of what is available in both standard and custom sectional garage doors. These can all be categorized by traditional, carriage house, and modern.
