When you have the right type of garage door, utilizing the latest designs and features, you can add to your daily productivity, add curb appeal and home value. Most homeowners opt for a standard garage door to simply get the job done: reliably opening and closing the garage as they come and go.
Findings in REMODELING magazine’s 2018 Cost vs. Value Report show that replacing a garage door not only improves a home’s curb appeal, the project generates the best return-on-investment (ROI) when it comes to recouping cost at resale. The report indicates that spending $3,470 for an upscale garage door replacement can yield an estimated $3,411 at resale – a 98.3 percent return on investment.
With a custom garage door, you can achieve that high return and let your home positively stand out in your neighborhood. Benefits of a custom garage door also include:
- Size Options: With stock doors, your garage has to adhere to the available garage door sizes. But custom doors can be manufactured to fit any size or shape. Your door can be fitted to allow for extra storage or be crafted large enough to let a recreational vehicle maneuver in and out of the garage with ease.
- Design and Material Flexibility: While white, aluminum or steel garage doors are traditional and help your home blend in, a custom door can be manufactured from wood or steel and designed with custom colors, hardware and styles to help your home be bold and stand apart. With Clopay® customization options, you can craft a stunning wood door with Knotty Alder, Spanish Cedar, White Oak, Ironwood or African Mahogany, incorporating windows if desired and available in seven popular stains and colors.
- Added Insulation: Garages aren’t typically constructed with the same insulation requirements as living spaces, so precious heat or cool air can easily escape through your garage door, costing you extra in monthly bills. Standard garage doors are flimsy aluminum-wrapped panels that don’t feature added insulation. With Clopay custom garage doors, each is hand-crafted with four or five-layer construction and is insulated with polystyrene.
- Warranties: Most custom garage doors will feature warranties or guarantees from the installation and manufacturing companies. Many garage installers will offer guarantees on workmanship or labor to perform future repairs as needed. At Clopay, they’re proud of their work and stand behind it by offering a five-year construction guarantee, a two-year warranty on stains and a one-year warranty on paint for all of their custom garage doors.
- Unique Opening Mechanics: Did you know that you can have your garage door open on a different mechanical lift — having the door open like an airplane hangar or swing open vertically? Most standard doors are limited to running on a single track, while custom doors can operate with a bit of added flare.
