Home improvement projects can be expensive, and many homeowners are still wary of
spending money on renovations, despite the improving real estate market. So what’s
the best way spruce up the appearance of your house without breaking the bank?
Replacing your new entry door or garage door are two low cost improvements that
can be made to not only improve your home’s curb appeal but also the resell value
of your home. When someone looks at your house from the street what is the first
thing that they see? Is it your broken, worn out, paint chipped, garage door or
entry door that lacks in pizzazz or personality? Does your garage door make your
home look like every other home on the street? What do your doors say about your
home? Do they say “neglected” and “unkempt” or does it say "look at me, I’m
classy, unique and upscale". A garage door alone can account for up to thirty
percent of a home’s exterior that is seen from the street, so having an attractive
garage door is especially vital to great curb appeal. But a garage door should be
appropriately matched to the home’s architectural style. Not sure which garage door
fits your home the best? Try out Sears Garage Solutions handy Door Designer tool

styles and then helps you select an appropriate garage door based on your home style.
