Important Things to Know Before Installing New Garage Doors

These days, you’ll find no shortage of advice from garage door installation and roofing replacement professionals on the internet, and it’s mostly about important things you need to know before choosing a garage door. While they do offer valuable insights, there can be some confusion due to the sheer number of factors you have to consider. One thing is certain, however: you never want to go cheap on your garage doors.

The main reason for  carefully choosing garage doors is that these doors can be quite expensive, and you definitely don’t want to have to replace them every few years. The right product can easily last you a lifetime, so here are a few tips from our pros at Lifestyle Home Improvement Roofing and Construction on how to find the best garage door for your home.

No Online Quotes

Exterior remodeling and roofing contractors know that every home is unique. This means the requirements for garage doors will vary from one home to the next. While it’s tempting to get online quotes and estimates from a website, it simply doesn’t beat the accuracy of having someone visit your home and take measurements in person.

Pros & Cons of Wood Doors

Natural wood has a timeless beauty that’s hard to beat. However, should you choose to go this route, be prepared to meet the high maintenance demands. Choosing a wood texture on a more durable material can give you some faux wood points on curb appeal, but without the trouble of maintaining real wood. Of course, this shouldn’t discourage you from choosing genuine wood over synthetic. If you’re really sold on its merits, real wood garage doors can be a huge asset.

Invest in Good Springs

Don’t hesitate to ask your garage door installers and roof repair contractors about the quality of the springs on your garage doors. Ask about extra strength torsion springs with about 10,000 cycles to their name to really max out its benefits.
