Are you selling your home? If so, one of the ways you can boost your home’s curb appeal is by making your garage door more attractive to buyers. You can also draw in buyers by upgrading your garage door opener.
You’d be amazed how much a garage door upgrade can change the appeal of your house. With a small investment in the look and functionality of your garage door, you can improve your home’s value and help your home sell for more money.
1. Upgrade Your Garage Door Opener
Old garage door openers can break down quickly and may not have all the modern features of new garage door openers. Depending on the age of your garage door opener, it might also be much louder than modern models – especially if you have a chain-driven unit.
One of the ways that you can make your garage more attractive to home buyers is by installing a new quiet-action garage door opener with Wi-Fi connectivity and modern safety features.
Garage door opener upgrades are relatively affordable and can make a good impression with home buyers if you communicate that the garage door opener is new. Be sure to tell your real estate professional that you recently replaced the garage door opener, so they can include it in the home listing.
2. Power Wash and Paint
Use a strong jet of water from a hose to clean your garage door, removing dust and grime. If you need to strip the door of any old paint, consider a power washer. Know what kind of material your garage door is made from, as not all materials can be safely power washed.
If the paint is peeling from your old garage door, apply a fresh coat of paint for an all-new look. Choose a neutral color that home buyers are likely to find desirable.
3. Improve Curb Appeal With New Garage Door
Your garage door makes an impact on the way your home looks. Installing a new garage door can change your home’s entire facade. If you’d like to replace your door, consider styles that are popular right now, like a carriage door.
Install a garage door with a reputable garage door installer/contractor. Once the garage door is replaced, be sure to mention this to your real estate professional so they can include it in the listing.
