The Importance of a New, Attractive Garage Door On Your Home

Good Morning, Eugene-Springfield! Let’s talk about the what a new overhead door can do for you and your home. There are many important purposes of your garage door. Security, Safety, Ease of Egress, and of course curb appeal. The average garage door is 112 sq. ft., and can weigh between 160-400 lbs. That means it is not only an aesthetic focal point of your home, but also a large moving wall that can present safety concerns if not maintained, or updated once obsolete. Serious injuries, damage to vehicles, cars getting stuck in the garage, etc, all occur on an unfortunate regular basis due to problems with an overhead garage door being neglected or ignored. Older garage doors also often leave large gaps, allowing pests into your home, and causing expensive damage and hassle.

According to most remodeling publications, a new garage door adds 125% of cost to the value of your home. It’s not only an investment in your homes value, but also in your safety and security. A new door, professionally installed by our experts at All County Garage Door, will be worry free for many years to come. Then there is also the matter of energy efficiency. Old wood panel doors offer no insulation value, and rarely seal on the bottom, top or sides. Our best selling series, the Amarr Lincoln 3138 Steel Front and Back Insulated Garage Door increases insulation value by 650%, and there’s even better insulated doors available. Even if you are not heating or cooling your garage, reducing the amount of uninsulated square footage in your garage will help keep the rest of your home more comfortable, and increase energy efficiency.

In conclusion, this is just a small snippet of the advantages to upgrading your garage door.
