Do You Need to Repair or Replace Your Existing Garage Door?
Part two of our three-part blog series explains the pros and cons of installing a new garage door. Do you have a door that isn’t working quite right? If so, you’re probably contemplating whether or not it would be more beneficial to replace or repair it. An advantage of installing new garage doors is that new ones increase home values. One disadvantage is that new installations are far more expensive. If your door just needs some tweaking, we recommend fixing it, since repairs cost less.
Pro: New Garage Doors Increase Home Values
The biggest advantage of installing new garage doors is that they increase home values. According to a 2019 Remodeling Magazine report, new garage doors netted a 98.3 percent national Return-On-Investment (ROI) average. Furthermore, new garage doors lower your energy costs.
Finally, new garage doors increase home values by boosting curb appeal. According to https://magazine.realtor, homes with noticeable curb appeal sell for seven percent more, on average, than those without it. When you increase home values, you make it easier to sell for higher prices.
Con: Repairs Cost Less than Installing a New Garage Door
A disadvantage of installing a new garage door is that repairs cost significantly less. New garage doors tend to cost between $753 and $1,633, based on information from www.homeadvisor.com.
In our previous blog, we explained just how repairs cost less than new garage doors. According to homeguide.com, repairs average between $125 and $290, obviously making repairs cost less.
