In a cooling housing market, homeowners are looking to maximize their renovation dollars and boost their home’s value as much as possible. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is with a polished exterior. Curb appeal has an outsized impact on the perception of your property and home. The old expression “you only get one chance to make a first impression!” holds true for a property. When looking to add value to your home, custom Overlay Collection garage doors will add value and make it the gem of the block.
How Does a Garage Door Add Value to a Home?
First, it is important to understand that the value added by your garage gives you a return on investment of over 93%. This is an exceptional rate of return, providing better results than a kitchen remodel or a new roof.
Knowing that you will recoup most of your money for the remodel can put your mind at ease, but the additional boost to your home’s value can be where the curb appeal factor comes into play. If your current door is worn out, dingy, dented or broken, it can make it appear the property hasn’t been kept up. If the door doesn’t match the style of your home, it can be jarring and look out of place. Finally, if your home isn’t as up-to-date as others in the neighborhood, a new garage door coupled with a few minor exterior touch-ups can make your home fit right in.
Wood Provides Additional Curb Appeal
No matter the style of your home, wood touches in a matching style increase your property’s warmth and welcoming nature. Wood overlay garage doors lend elegance and sophistication that other types of garage doors don’t. And because these types of doors are wood overlaying a steel core, you have all the charm of carefully crafted wood coupled with the protection offered by a traditional steel door.
With a wide variety of colors, finishes, styles and materials, don’t overlook this central feature of your home’s exterior. Contact Overlay Collection today to increase your curb appeal and your home’s value.
