One of the most important roles of a homeowner is ensuring that they at least maintain, if not increase, the value of their investment. One of the key ways of doing this is installing a high quality garage door, built by world‑class professionals, which will last. Doing so will ensure that your curb value increases. The magazine “Remodeling” recently published a cost-value analysis that showed that, based on 2014 national averages, garage door replacement projects recover on average roughly 83.7% of the cost of the garage door when selling the home.
Choosing the right garage door will bring added value and enhance the look and feel of any style of home. One has to take precautions, though, when choosing their garage door model. When going through the different options available for your style of home, make sure you keep in mind the following suggestions:
Cottage country/Victorian‑style residences
For homeowners who are proud of their country-style home full of rural charm, or their Victorian-style home built with careful attention to detail, it may be worthwhile to consider traditional garage door styles, including the North Hatley, Eastman or the Stratton 138.
These models are excellent choices to accompany country- or Victorian-style homes, as they boast excellent workmanship, attractive designs for any style of architecture, and accents that will add value to your home.
Contemporary/Modern‑style residences
If your home has a more modern look and feel, based around simple lines and windows and doors based on plain styles, Garaga’s contemporary garage door models will fit perfectly with your home.
Amongst the more modern styles, the California, which is a fully‑windowed garage door, has clean lines and will fit with any modern home style, as will any one of Garaga’s grooved or flush models. These models are the epitome of simplicity, but can also increase your curb appeal by adding a certain flair to your residence.
Colonial bungalow/Raised ranch style residences
The perfect mix of classic and traditional, these styles of homes are built around long lines and interspersed with detailed designs. Choosing the right garage door for a colonial bungalow or raised ranch style home is easy, as Garaga offers many different quality options for homeowners.
To achieve unity of form along the façade of your home, you can choose from among the Cambridge, Standard+, Triforce, or H‑Tech models offered by Garaga. They will boost the look your home and increase the value of your investment.
Furthermore…
Light and color
Any garage door can be accessorized by choosing the right color scheme and decorative accessories. Once you have chosen your garage door style, you can select different colors to match with the look and feel of your home. Some choose to go with quiet colors, while others who prefer to stand out may opt for a contrasting color scheme that sets you apart from surrounding homes.
If you are looking to add charm for your home, why not think about including Windows in your garage door? You can choose among the different sizes and styles available, which include antique, clean-lined, and arched models. Additionally, windows can offer increased lighting for your garage space, which will help you get around inside your garage.
Hardware
From simple hardware to specialized door knockers and door handles, adding hardware pieces to your garage door is a simple yet creative way to change the look and feel of your garage. These accents that you can add to your garage can increase its fit with your Victorian or Country-style home, which can also contribute to the increased curb appeal and resale value of your residence.
