According to Remodeling magazine’s 2016 Cost vs. Value report, a new garage door is one of the top five home repair projects that homeowners invest in. The great thing about this improvement is that it actually has one of the highest returns on investment you can make in your home. Some homeowners have seen upwards of a 90% increase in ROI.
So what does that mean for you? It means that installing a new garage door is a great way to increase your property value without busting your budget.

What to Do On The Day of Installation
Once your new door has been manufactured and delivered, one of our certified technicians will handle the installation. The door will be delivered in pieces and we will build it on site. This ensures that your new equipment is exactly what you need it to be.
On the day we come out to install your new door, here’s what you will need to do:
1. Remove Your Vehicle
We do not want your vehicle inside of the garage while we are building the door. Otherwise, there won’t be space to handle the work. Besides, you do not want your car to have any damage during the installation process.
2. Clean Up The General Area
As a safety precaution, you should clean up your garage as much as possible. Make sure that all of your items are out of the middle of the floor. Remove any large belongings like bikes, lawn mowers, and other things that can’t be stood against the wall.
3. Keep the Area Secure
Make sure that your family and friends know that the installation will take place. Keep your pets and children away from the workers. It is important to understand that the work we do is construction. That means there are safety concerns to consider.
