Get More From Your Garage Door
Like any smart investment, a garage door offers a lot more than good looks. According to the Remodeling 2018 Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com), installing a new garage door generates the biggest ROI among home improvement projects with a nationwide average return of 98.3% at resale.*
Plus, insulated garage doors can significantly increase comfort and usable space in both hot and cold weather, while reducing energy loss by up to 71%. That means that even without temperature control, your garage can stay 10 to 20 degrees warmer in the winter or cooler in summer.
Boasting one of the biggest returns on investment and undeniable curb appeal, garage doors have earned their place as a prime opportunity for new home builders – and any other homeowner – to bring their vision to life.
