When Should I Replace My Existing Garage Door?

Depending on the condition of your door, it may be better to replace it rather than repair it. If there is significant damage to the panels, you will want to replace it right away. Other reasons you might consider replacing your door includes:

Improve heating and cooling costs by installing a door that has a minimum R-Value of 12. The greater the R-Value, the greater the insulation. If the manufacturer lists a U-Value instead of an R-Value, the lower the number, the great the insulation. In that case, you will want a U-Value of 1.5-2.

If you want to increase your home’s value, installing a new garage door offers an 80% return on investment. It is a simple home improvement that will take no more than a day. You can change the way your home looks with an updated style.
