Key Takeaways

  • Installing a new garage door can increase property value by up to 4%.
  • Upgrading your garage door can add $12,000 to the worth of a $300,000 home.
  • A visually appealing garage door makes a positive first impression on potential buyers.
  • Upgrading to an insulated garage door helps minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduces utility bills.

Enhancing Curb Appeal

If you want to increase your home’s resale value, you should consider enhancing its curb appeal by installing a new garage door. Not only does a new garage door provide functional benefits, but it also has a significant impact on the overall appearance of your home.

Studies have shown that replacing an old garage door with a new one can increase property value by up to 4%. This means that if your home is valued at $300,000, you could potentially add $12,000 to its worth simply by upgrading your garage door.

In addition to increasing property value, a new garage door can provide an aesthetic enhancement to your home. With a wide range of styles, colors, and materials to choose from, you can find a garage door that complements the architectural design of your home and enhances its overall curb appeal. Whether you prefer a traditional carriage-style door or a modern and sleek design, there is a garage door option that will make your home stand out in the neighborhood.

By enhancing your home’s curb appeal through a new garage door installation, you are not only increasing its value but also creating a sense of belonging within your community. A well-maintained and visually appealing home fosters a sense of pride and can make you feel more connected to your neighbors.

So, why stop at just improving your home’s curb appeal? Let’s explore how improving energy efficiency can further enhance your home’s value and make it more environmentally friendly.

Improving Energy Efficiency

To enhance the energy efficiency of your house, consider making improvements to your garage door.

Did you know that an insulated garage door can significantly reduce your utility bills? By insulating your garage door, you can minimize the transfer of heat or cold air between your garage and the rest of your home. This means that your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to lower energy consumption and cost savings.

Not only will an energy-efficient garage door save you money, but it will also reduce your environmental impact. By reducing the amount of energy needed to heat or cool your home, you are contributing to the overall sustainability of our planet. In fact, studies have shown that upgrading to an insulated garage door can result in a significant reduction in energy consumption, which in turn helps to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.

By improving the energy efficiency of your garage door, you are taking a step towards creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly home.

In the next section, we will discuss how increasing the security of your garage door can further enhance the value of your property.

Increasing Security

Consider reinforcing the security of your garage door to further protect your property and enhance its value. By incorporating smart technology into your garage door, you can provide an added layer of security that will not only give you peace of mind but also attract potential buyers.

Smart garage door openers with features like remote access and real-time notifications allow you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone. This means you can check if your garage door is securely closed, receive alerts if it’s opened unexpectedly, and even grant access to delivery personnel when you’re not home.

Investing in smart technology for your garage door can also lead to insurance benefits. Many insurance companies offer discounts for homeowners who have security measures in place, and a smart garage door is an effective way to meet those requirements. By enhancing the security of your garage, you can potentially lower your insurance premiums and save money in the long run.

Increasing the security of your garage door not only protects your property but also adds value to your home.

Next, we will explore how attracting potential buyers can positively impact your resale value.

Attracting Potential Buyers

To attract potential buyers, you can showcase the added convenience and security of a smart garage door opener with remote access and real-time notifications. This modern feature not only adds a touch of sophistication to your home but also makes life easier for you and your family. Imagine being able to open and close your garage door with just a tap on your smartphone, no matter where you are. Additionally, with real-time notifications, you can receive alerts whenever the garage door is opened or closed, giving you peace of mind and enhancing the security of your home.

But the benefits don’t stop there. A garage door installation can also create a welcoming entrance for potential buyers. The garage is often one of the first things they see when approaching your home, and having a well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing garage door can make a great first impression. It sets the tone for the rest of the house and signals that your home is well cared for.

Another advantage of a garage door installation is the increased storage capacity it provides. Potential buyers are always on the lookout for homes with ample storage space, and a garage with a functioning door can meet that demand. Whether it’s for storing vehicles, tools, or seasonal items, having a secure and spacious garage adds value to your home.

By showcasing the convenience, security, and aesthetic appeal of a smart garage door opener, you can attract potential buyers and create a sense of belonging. This, in turn, increases the desirability of your home.

Now, let’s explore how a garage door installation can also boost your asking price.

Boosting Asking Price

Increasing your asking price can be achieved through a garage door upgrade. By investing in a new garage door installation, you not only enhance the curb appeal of your home but also increase its overall value. Studies have shown that upgrading your garage door can provide a return on investment of up to 98.3%. This means that for every dollar you spend on a new garage door, you can potentially increase your property value by almost the same amount.

To maximize your return on investment and attract potential buyers, consider the following:

  1. Choose a high-quality garage door: Opt for a durable and visually appealing garage door that complements the style of your home. This will instantly grab the attention of potential buyers and create a positive first impression.

  2. Upgrade to energy-efficient features: Incorporating energy-efficient features such as insulation and weatherstripping in your garage door can save buyers money on utility bills. This added benefit can significantly increase the perceived value of your home.

  3. Highlight security features: A garage door with advanced security features like keypad entry and motion sensor lighting can provide peace of mind to potential buyers. Emphasize these features to showcase the added safety and protection they offer.

By following these tips and investing in a garage door upgrade, you can increase your property value while attracting potential buyers who desire a sense of belonging and security.

Conclusion

In conclusion, investing in a garage door installation can have a significant impact on the resale value of your home. According to a study conducted by Remodeling Magazine, homeowners can expect to recoup about 94.5% of the cost of a new garage door when selling their property.

This statistic highlights the strong return on investment and should evoke a sense of excitement and motivation in homeowners looking to increase the value of their homes. Don’t underestimate the power of a new garage door in enhancing curb appeal, improving energy efficiency, increasing security, attracting potential buyers, and ultimately boosting your asking price.

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
