Benefits of a New Garage Door

There are several reasons a new garage door makes sense for your Twin Cities home, and a few big benefits you can receive by going with such a purchase. We’ve picked the top three and detailed them below.

Increased home value

For homes selling at $175,000 or higher, a $2,000 garage door investment could add as much as $7,000 to the resale value. Not a bad return on investment, huh?

More protection

Depending on the type of garage door you have in place now, an up-to-date garage door could provide greater security not only to the vehicles that are stored inside your garage, but to your family as well, since many garages have an entry door to the home.

A cleaner home

A new garage door with a keypad for entry can become a second front door. When coming indoors from poor weather conditions, or from a dirty job, your garage gives you a sheltered location to take off your messy items of clothing before entering your actual home. This helps keep your home clean.

Garage Door Repair Safety Tips

With school back in session, it’s important to take the proper steps to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones, especially with household equipment that gets used every day. Garage doors, when used improperly, can cause injuries and worse. So, stay safe and follow these tips:

·         Never allow children to play with the garage door or around it when it’s open or moving.

·         Don’t let kids play with the remote or push button wall controls.

·         Avoid standing or walking under a moving garage door.

·         Keep the door in full view until it’s fully closed or opened.

·         Keep your fingers and hands away from sections of the door while it’s opening or closing.

·         Ensure your door remains in great shape with regular garage door repairs and maintenance.

·         If you’re having electrical issues, make sure they’re addressed by a trained service technician.

·         Never try to repair garage door springs or cables. They are best repaired by a trained tech as these parts are under extreme tension.

·         If you or someone else has backed into the garage door, it’s important to have it inspected and/or repaired by a service technician. Have it inspected even if it doesn’t look to be severely damaged as the operating system may have been misaligned and wear prematurely.

Protect Your Family with Garage Door Repairs

While repairing your garage door might not be high on your list of priorities, it should be. Don’t think of it as just a door or just the thing that lifts so you can park your car. It’s a complex piece of machinery, and when it’s not operating at 100% efficiency, it can become a hazard to you and your loved ones.

The average garage door can weigh anywhere from 300 to 400 lbs. If it were to fall down on a vehicle, it would severely damage it, not to mention what it could do if it struck a person or animal. Think serious injury … or worse.

Garage doors have built-in safety protection devices to lessen the occurrence of an accident. However, like with anything mechanical, components may tend to wear out or need readjusted. Therefore, it’s imperative to have your system checked regularly by a qualified technician for proper operation and calibration.

While you may feel tempted to do the repairs yourself, it would be best to trust this work to a garage door repair technician who knows exactly what he or she is doing. A tech who works regularly with garage door systems will know exactly what is plaguing your system, and will be familiar with the problem areas with that should be checked out.

Don’t compromise the safety or your property and family. Call us now at 763-607-3402 to schedule a checkup of your garage door system.
