FAQ
Your Investment, Energy Savings + Safety
How will a garage door help me save energy?
An insulated garage door can save energy and reduce your home heating costs by reducing the transfer of air from the outside. It also balances the temperature changes that can affect a room above the garage and an attached room from an interior door access to the house.
Garage door insulation is measured by R-value which includes the thickness of a door and the type of material used for the insulation. A minimum R-value of R12 insulated with polyurethane is a good place to start when considering a new garage door.
Will I get a return on my investment when I buy a garage door?
A single garage door generally costs between $1200 – $3000 depending on the options chosen and the size of the door.
An approximate 94% return on the investment can be expected. The replacement of a garage door is one of the highest returns compared to other home improvement projects.
Safety Tips
Garage doors have many moving parts and can be dangerous if they fail including high tension springs and cables. Regular visual inspection is recommended of the cables and hinges to spot wear and tear of loose components and lubrication of these parts and the springs will help maintain their functionality. If more extensive maintenance is needed it is highly recommended that you call a professional garage door dealer.
