When to Replace Your Old Garage Door

Not only can your garage door take your home from being the neighbourhood eyesore to the best on the block, an upgrade might also make the most financial sense. Here are some reasons why it might be time to invest in a new garage door.

Behind the Times

Older garage doors aren't equipped with the same safety and efficiency features found in newer state-of-the-art models. If you're experiencing issues with keeping the elements out of your garage, it might be time to invest in a new model that's equipped with weather strips and sealing joints. Most new models are also outfitted with safety features like obstruction sensors, which reduce the risk of garage door related injuries.

Recurring Malfunctions

If you find yourself paying for costly service calls or replacement parts for a persistent garage door problem, it may make financial sense to replace the door altogether. If in doubt about whether your garage door woes can be fixed with a simple repair or whether it's time to shop for a replacement, contact a Creative Door technician to perform a site visit.

Outdated Design

The average garage door occupies 40 percent of the façade of a house, making an unattractive door hard to miss. Boosting your curb appeal is as easy as swapping out an archaic door for an architecturally striking upgrade. From stylish Williamsburg windows to wood-grain fiberglass doors, modern designs offer endless options to complement the style of your home. Not only will an upgrade improve your property value, it'll help you fall in love with your house all over again.
