As the heat of summer fades and the leaves begin to change, start thinking about revamping your garage door. Fall is the perfect time for garage door replacements, new insulation, and repairs you’ve been putting off. Why? Autumn is in between the cold, snowy season to come and the potential problems of summertime, such as temperatures being too hot to paint. Spring might be the right time for cleaning, but fall is the time for fresh beginnings. Here’s why there’s no time like fall for garage door services.
Prepare for Winter
Despite Oregon having relatively mild winters, it still gets cold enough to feel the chill in your garage. If your garage leaks cold air into your home, consider garage door replacement. Your door could be letting outdoor air inside, leading to higher energy bills in winter. Replacing your outdated door with a newer, more energy-efficient model or investing in additional insulation can help you prepare for the colder months ahead and enjoy winter in comfort.
Prevent Summer Weather Damage
The sweltering hot summers in Oregon can lead to heat-related damage to your garage door. While pre-summertime maintenance can help you prevent damage relating to temperatures, dryness, and dirt corrosion, it’s often best to wait until summer has ended to install a brand new garage door. That way, your investment won’t have to weather a hot, dry summer right away.
Secure Your Home Before the Holidays
Upgrading your garage door can be the perfect way to feel safe and secure in your home this holiday season. Replacing a flimsy old garage door with one that has lock-out buttons and other equipment to help prevent break-ins can increase the security of your property. Consider complementing your new garage door with security shutters for extra protection. Fall is the perfect time for these upgrades, before the season of gift-giving and holiday vacations begins.
