Garage Doors

altWindows Plus Garage Doors are designed to complement your home's style and add to your home's aesthetic appearance and market value.  Garage doors are often the largest visible part of your house, other than the siding. A stylish garage door will help improve the 'curb appeal' of your house, which directly affects it's market value.

The most noticeable architectural element of today's home is the garage door. Many houses are designed with garages that are visible from the street. If the garage holds two or more cars, then it is a dominant feature. What does yours look like? 

Replacing an old, worn-out garage door with the latest carriage house-style door can totally change the look of your home. In fact, this can do almost more than any other improvement to dress-up the exterior – especially one with a front-facing garage. And replacing your garage door with a new upscale model may even boost the resale value of your home. A recent survey on www.garagewownow.com revealed that a whopping 71% of homeowners who recently replaced their garage door believe it definitely increased the value of their home. 

This is a project that needs professional assistance. The good news is the replacement job takes less than half a day to complete, and the installer hauls away the old garage door for you. 

If you have not been in the market for a garage door, then you have a surprise coming to you. Today's garage doors are better insulated and stronger as well as safer. And there is an amazing range of styles, colors and new materials from which to choose – wood, steel, fiberglass, or even molded plastic. Take time to learn the advantages of each material. Even the window treatments on these doors have been redesigned to match your own window style. 

Most architects or designers would advise that you begin your choice of garage doors by considering the style of your home. The new door should complement the architecture of the house, not confuse it. For example, a carriage house-style garage door might look out of place on a fairly contemporary house. Determine if you want your new door to look outstanding or simply blend in with the other exterior details. The color of your garage door should complement the overall house color as well as the window trim colors. Some models are available in a limited range while other manufacturers offer custom colors as well. 

Garage doors are now offered by manufacturers in a variety of styles that go far beyond the traditional paneled look. That makes replacing your garage doors an effortless and cost effective way to add to your home's value and improve your homes look.
