Tips for Choosing Residential Garage Doors

No matter where you live, any homeowner with a garage needs a residential garage door. If your garage door is worn and it’s time to replace it, or if you just can’t stand how it looks, we’re here to help at Access Garage Doors of NoCo.

We offer a fantastic selection of residential garage doors in many styles. However, with so many choices, you might feel a bit lost when you’re picking your new garage door. To make things a bit easier for you, here are a few tips:

• Set a budget. Of course, you’ll want to invest in a high-quality, durable garage door, since you’ll need it to protect your car, house, and belongings. However, that doesn’t mean you want to spend a fortune on it. By setting a budget, you’ll be able to narrow your options and avoid spending more than you should.
• Consider how much maintenance you’re willing to do. There are a variety of garage door materials that offer unique looks, but you should also think about how easy or difficult it will be to keep your garage door in good condition. For instance, materials like aluminum and steel are much more low-maintenance than materials like wood.
• Think about your insulation needs. Insulated residential garage doors can keep your garage warmer in the winter, and that means you won’t have to use as much energy to keep the rest of your home heated. Some insulated garage doors have a higher R-value than others, so think about what’s best for you.
• Choose a style that complements your home. Before you settle on a garage door, make sure it looks good with your home’s style first. The last thing you want to do is become infatuated with a garage door style and then find it doesn’t look cohesive with your home once it’s installed.
