How to Pick the Right Garage Door for Your Home?

Whether you are looking to install your first garage door or upgrade from your old one, we want to first congratulate you then remind you that shopping for a new garage door asks for some due diligence. Your garage door is not only an entrance into where you store your vehicles and other belongings, but also an investment and a large fraction of the appearance of your home. If you’re like most people, you have not fully considered the range of considerations involved in selecting a garage door. From aesthetics to practicality to return on investment, Bob’s Advance Garage Doors brings to you the rundown on how to pick the right garage door for your home.

Aesthetic

Your garage door takes up a significant fraction of your home’s frontage. As such, the garage can make or break a first impression when guests or potential homebuyers look at your home from the street. A battered old door or a tacky garage door that does not fit well with the rest of your home can send the wrong message or negatively impact the value of your house.  

Insulation

In today’s world, the garage is often much more than a storage spot for a vehicle or two. Many garages double as workshops, laundries, or even living spaces. This being the case, temperature is an important factor to keep in mind. At Bob’s Advance Garage Doors, we have a grand supply of insulated garage doors that will help you save energy by maintaining temperature levels. Insulated garages don’t only benefit the garage. If you have a poorly insulated garage, then you’ve surely realized that adjacent rooms’ temperatures are also affected by the garages.

Cost

Unless you’re manually lifting and lowering your garage door, your garage door probably uses electricity. In a busy household, that garage door is opened and closed many times during the day. If you are cost-sensitive, ask a professional at Bob’s Advance Garage Doors to help you choose a garage door that is energy efficient. Garage doors differ in their material as well as their operating mechanics and these factors play a role in the energy usage.

Cost is also a major difference among garage door installations. While some garage doors are basic in design and operation, others are intricate. When you come to Bob’s Advance Garage Doors, we will help you choose between overhead sectional doors, swing-style doors, and more to get the biggest bang for your buck.

Warranty

There’s no way to expect the unexpected. Warranties offer you the peace of mind that you deserve. When selecting a garage door, make sure to ask your Bob’s Advance Garage Doors associate about the warranty that comes with the door. If anything happens to your door, a warranty will ensure that you have it replaced at no extra cost.
