How a New Garage Door Fixes These 5 Suburban Hassles

10/12/2020

If your garage door is old and beat up, a new garage door will obviously improve the curb appeal of your home, and by extension, its resale value. But on a more immediate level – have you considered how improved and convenient your daily routine would be with a new door? Many of life’s inconveniences can be solved with the new technology capabilities of a modern smart garage door. 

If the powerful return on investment isn’t enough to convince you to install a new garage door or at least a new, smart garage door opener system, the way this home improvement can totally transform your life will. Here are 5 life hassles that are completely solved with modern garage door technology:

1. Forgot to Close the Garage Door? Do it From Your Phone

We’ve all been there. It’s early in the morning. The coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. You’re late for work. You forget to close the garage door. With a smart garage door, this is no longer a problem. First, you’ll get a phone notification you forgot to close the door. And then you’ll be able to close the door remotely from anywhere — sitting in traffic, at the office, playing a round of golf. Smart technology puts the power of control in your pocket, literally.

2. Someone Stole Your Amazon Order? Provide Delivery-Specific Access

Sure, you can install a Ring on your front door to avoid someone stealing your packages, but all that does is let you see the stealing – you may never find the person or the package. Smart garage doors put an end to package theft. You can leave special instructions to your delivery driver to call you when your package arrives. You can give them access to your garage door so they can place your package safely inside. Never lose another package again.

3. Heating or Cooling Bills High? Get an Insulated Garage Door

It’s not your imagination — electric bills are getting more expensive. This is a phenomenon only further exacerbated by climate change. By installing a new garage door, you can opt for higher insulation. This is a good idea even in the beautiful weather of Sacramento. California summers can get really hot. An insulated door protects your garage, and by extension your home, from the heat as well as the cold. This improves the heating and cooling efficiency of your home.

4. Need More Living Space? Add a High-lift Design to that Insulated Garage Door

Space is certainly at a premium in Sacramento suburbs like Fair Oaks, Arden Arcade, Carmichael, and Citrus Heights, and surrounding communities. With an insulated door, you can turn your garage into a comfortable living space. Transform it into an entertainment space, yoga studio, gym, or meditation sanctuary. The first step is to make it comfortable. Installing a new insulated garage door does just the trick.

Another feature common in new garage doors is a high-lift feature, which allows way more overhead space in your garage, so the garage door limits the use of your space way less. And if you really want to maximize the ceiling height in your converted garage, choose a high-lift design with a jackshaft garage door opener, which is side-mounted instead of overhead.

5. Hate Dealing with Power Outages? Choose a Battery Backup Opener

Another awesome thing about new garage door installations and modern garage door openers is the auxiliary battery power they come with. Before, if there was a power outage, you had to use the emergency release and lift and lower your garage door manually. But openers with battery backups offer a more convenient, safer alternative – no matter if there’s power or not, you can still use your automatic garage door opener.

Is Your Home’s Curb Appeal Lacking? Design a Custom New Garage Door!

If you’re not impressed by the appearance of your home, a new garage door is a great place to begin. After all, it is the largest front facing feature of your home. As we mentioned, a new garage door installation’s impact on curb appeal is why it has one of the highest returns on investments for all home improvements. If your door is beat up and just plain ugly, a new door will give your home a face lift. You can follow that new door up by repainting your home, trim, and front doors to match.
