Bought An Existing Home? Why You Should Install A New Garage Door

by Sheila Berry

If you've recently purchased an existing home and you're looking to make some upgrades, don't forget to have a new garage door installed. If the current garage door looks to be in good condition, you might not think that you need to go through the expense, but that might not be the case. The current garage door might look good on the outside, but there's still room for improvement. This is especially true if the garage door is more than a few years old. Here are just four of the reasons to have a new garage door installed as soon as you close escrow on your home. 

Improved Security

Now that you've bought a new house, you want to make sure that you take security seriously. One way to do that is to have a new garage door installed on your home. You might not know this, but installing a new garage door can improve the security of your home. This is especially true if you take the opportunity to install a smart technology garage door opener. With this type of opener, you'll be able to control your garage door from your phone app. This allows you to monitor who's attempting to access your garage door.  

Increased Safety

If you've just purchased an existing home and you've decided not to have a new garage door installed, it's time to think about safety. This is especially important if the previous homeowners weren't able to provide you with a detailed maintenance history for the existing garage door. Without that history, you have no way of knowing if the existing door had experienced malfunctions or if the maintenance was handled properly. Because of that, it's important for you to have a new garage door installed as soon as possible. 

Better Insulation

If the existing garage door on your new home is more than a few years old, the insulation might not be as good as you'd like it to be. Unfortunately, a lack of insulation can cause a couple of problems. First, your garage might have problems maintaining a comfortable temperature during extreme weather. Second, your home might lose out on energy efficiency. That's where installing a new garage door comes into the picture. Your new garage door will have improved insulation, which will help keep your garage at a comfortable temperature, year-round. 

Reduced Noise

When it comes to your garage door, you want it to provide some level of noise protection. Noise cancellation is important for a couple of reasons. First, noise cancellation helps to keep street noises out of your garage. Second, noise cancellation prevents your neighbors from hearing the noises coming from your garage. This second point is especially important if you do things like automotive repairs or woodworking in your garage. Having a new garage door installed on your new home will help to control the noise levels.
