Selecting the Best Garage Door for Your Home

If you’re looking for a way to increase your home’s curb appeal and overall value, you’ll want to consider replacing your old garage door. A new garage door is one of the best ways to add style to your home without blowing your budget on a costly exterior renovation. By choosing the right garage door for your home, you could receive an ROI of up to 85 percent should you decide to sell one day. But what is the right garage door for your home? The answer will depend on the overall look of your property, and the budget you have in mind. Here are the best garage doors to consider for your Colorado home.

Garage Door Options

Classic Steel

Steel doors come in a variety of styles. You can purchase steel doors in virtually any color and repaint them if you wish. As far as new garage door cost goes, these are the most cost-effective option. They can be purchased in the traditional four-panel style or a one-piece carriage style. These doors last up to 20 years.

Wood

Custom wood doors have excellent curb appeal. 

Garage doors also come available in solid wood or wood composite. Wood doors are considered the most beautiful and enriching, though they are considerably heavy and are much more costly. They also require more maintenance than steel doors and have lower warranties.

Aluminum

Aluminum doors come standard on most houses. They’re lightweight, and the least expensive doors on this list. They also require very little maintenance. Aluminum doors can last for decades, but they also dent fairly easily, so they aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing option.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is affordable and easily customizable. If you don’t have the budget for genuine wood but prefer the look, you can find fiberglass doors that mimic the look of wooden ones. Fiberglass doesn’t fare well in cold or seasonal climates. Additionally, it can yellow with age.
