If your current garage door has seen better days; perhaps the kids have thrown one too many baseballs at it or you have bumped it with the car one too many times, garage door replacement in Evanston is a relatively inexpensive and painless way to improve the value of your home.
Replacing your garage door for a reasonable price is an excellent way to boost the curb appeal for your home. Add this to the fact that the door on your garage takes up as much as 20 percent of the visible façade of your home and you can quickly see why a worn-out, beat up and damaged garage door is a serious liability.
Choosing the right door:
There are four basic types of garage doors; they swing up, swing out, roll up or slide to one side or the other. Although a swing out door is ideal if your garage has limited headroom, the most popular garage door replacement in Evanston is a roll-up sectional unit.
Choosing the right style:
With the wide variety of garage doors that are available it should not be a problem finding one which suits the style of your home to a “T.” If you live in an older home, a Craftsman bungalow for example you may like swing out doors that were popular at the time. Garage door manufacturers today have roll-up doors available that absolutely mimic the originals; they even have faux strap iron hinges and handles.
Most replacement garage doors, regardless of whether they are contemporary or traditional feature detailing such as panels and trim. Many have glass panels across the top; this provides natural light into the garage and adds considerably to the looks.
Choosing the right material:
Wood has charm and authenticity that is hard to beat. Wood doors can be made to suit any size opening, bear in mind that many years ago garage doors were not as standardized as they are today. The only downside to wood is maintenance; they have to be panted or finished frequently.
If you do not want to deal with maintenance, then steel is the better choice. Steel doors are reasonably priced and tough.
