Why Garage Door Replacement Delivers the Best ROI
Zonda’s annual Cost vs. Value report provides insight into the home renovations that deliver the best return on investment by answering a specific question: What value does a particular remodeling project add to the sale price of a home?
It compares the average cost for 28 remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale in 119 U.S. markets.
Eight of the top 10 projects with the highest ROI in this year’s report are exterior replacement projects, reinforcing a consistent trend in the remodeling market over the last two decades: curb appeal matters.
Real estate professionals consistently rank a home’s exterior as one of the most important factors when determining the sale price. A stylish new garage door can dramatically improve the first impression of your home and help attract buyers with the means to purchase a house at top dollar.
Exterior projects like garage door replacement also require less time and labor than interior kitchen or bathroom renovations resulting in lower costs and quicker turnaround times for homeowners. Most garage door replacements can be done in a day.
The broad range of garage door designs and materials continues to grow, making it easy to find one that complements your home’s architectural style and sets it apart from the neighbors.
