Garage Door Repair Irvine, CA ― Summer is right around the corner! This means the season of barbecues, pool parties, and kids playing in the front yard everyday is almost in full swing. With all the company you are bound to have, wouldn’t it be nice to spruce up your garage door a bit? Don’t worry about spending a ton on remodeling either – there are tons of improvements you can make to your garage that won’t break the bank. Read on to learn how!
Throw on a Fresh Layer of Paint
This one’s a no-brainer! Painting your garage door is one of the most cost efficient ways to completely revamp your home’s curb appeal. A new paint job on a garage door goes a long way. This is a job that can be done professionally, or amateurishly. Both ways the cost is slight, while the outcome is huge! If you do it yourself, however, you will want to make sure you are using a brand of paint specifically for outdoor use. There are some really cool garage doors out there…
But don’t be discouraged if you aren’t that adventurous! A layer of your favorite solid color will do just nicely.
Add Some Windows!
A really fun, simple way to transform the exterior of your garage is to add windows! They add a modern charm to anyone’s home! They tend to harmonize the theme of your house, especially if you correlate them with the windows on the front of your house. That, combined with the natural light they add to your garage makes this simple addition a must-have! We recommend adding windows to the very top panel of your garage door if you are concerned with security. There are tons of windows to choose from, take a look before you make a decision.
Wood Finish
Hardwood floors, board and batten walls, and similarly wooden garage doors are timeless trends that will never go out of style! Only problem is – they can be pricey. A less expensive alternative would be adding a wainscotting wooden trim. You can even have your garage door refaced with a wood finishing layer. This way, you get the cosmetic benefits of a wooden door without having to sacrifice budget or endurance. Wooden doors required more maintenance than doors made of metal for example, making adding wooden components a better option than a door completely made of wood.
Invest Now, Save Later With Insulation
One of the best investments in your home is insulation. In the coming months, it is going to get hot. Insulating your garage ensures that the space stays cooler longer – limiting the amount of time you need to keep the air conditioner on. The garage serves as way more than just a parking spot. It can act as a number of different things: a game/entertainment room, a work shed, even a home for your pets. This will require your cooling/heating bills to fluctuate year round, peaking in the summer and winter. Investing in insulation for your garage in preparation for the summer is something that will save you tons in the long run!
