For most people, replacing a garage door doesn’t happen that often, so people don’t give it much thought – until they really need one. However, this is one area where homeowners need to be more proactive. It really is a good idea to consider replacing your garage door before your car is trapped inside. Here are some signs that it might be time to look for a new garage door:
• Is the garage door obviously made of poor quality materials?
• Is the door un-insulated, or poorly insulated?
• Is the door warped, dented, sagging, or rotting?
• Does the door have difficulty opening and closing smoothly?
• Does the door make a terrible screech when it’s being opened or closed?
• Is the garage door more than 15 years old?
• Is the seal at the bottom of the door cracked or broken?
• Does the door detract from your home, or date it?
• Is your garage excessively hot or cold?
• Do you have to paint it yearly?
• Are you just tired of looking at it?
