3 Signs You Need a New Garage Door

Your garage door is more than an access to your garage. It also protects your vehicle and other stored belongings from precipitation, heat and theft. This incredible level of utility is only enhanced by the fact that the right garage door replacement can also improve the curb appeal and value of your home. However, it is important to know whether or not it is still performing efficiently. Read on as the area’s trusted roofing replacement companies share a few signs that you need to replace your garage door.

1. Increased Noise

A significant increase in noise level indicates that your garage door is due for a repair or replacement. A garage door that is running smoothly should have minimal noise. Once you hear any quacking, banging or grinding from your garage door, make sure to call a nearby contractor to replace it. For many, these noises you can hear while rolling up and down a remote-controlled door are more than an inconvenience. They also leave a poor impression on your neighbors or guests.

2. Sagging

Sagging is a common issue to wooden garage doors. Too much moisture or rainwater can cause the wood to rot or sag from decomposition. It will only be a matter of time before the garage door completely deteriorates, making it almost impossible to open or close. Siding contractors recommend finding a door repair professional in order to address the issue at hand and have a new garage door installed.

3. Outdated Design

Historic homes usually have garage doors that are based on a carriage house template. This features swing-out wooden doors with a diagonal brace on the bottom part. However, the charm of vintage and old-fashioned design works best if it matches the rest of your home’s exterior. If your garage door has obvious marks from weather damage, updating its style and appearance will do wonders. Replace your old garage door with a contemporary model made of rust-proof aluminum and glass or insulated steel.
