In today’s world, we all care about the appearance of things, whether it’s our hair, our makeup, our new office outfit, or even our home. This is no different with Spencertown garage doors. When people approach our homes, we want them to think “wow.” We can’t do that, however, when the first thing they see is an outdated garage door. That’s why we’re here to discuss which factors may be making your door less physically appealing.
Dirty Appearance
Your garage door is constantly working hard in order to open and close; it also faces dogs and children running around it, as well as crazy weather conditions every day. For that reason, it’s completely normal that it gets dirty. A lot of people don’t take the time to give it a good wash, but it will change the whole look of your door. All you need to do to wash it is use a household cleaner (such as dish soap) and scrub it with a rag.
Chipped Paint
Over time, your garage door may be noticeably older because of the chipped or faded paint. Sometimes instead of buying a completely new garage door, all you need to do is give it a fresh coat of paint. You can use the same color as before, or you can even change its look by changing the color.
Dented Panels
Whether this happened because of your kids playing basketball outside the garage or because you accidentally backed up into the garage, it’s not a good look. Depending on how your garage is designed, you may be able to just replace a panel so that you don’t have to get a new door.
Outdated Design
The fixes above are a fast and efficient way to make your door more attractive, but it may get to the point where you just need a new garage door. For instance, maybe your door is old or maybe you’re still using the door that the house had when you moved in – meaning it may not be your style. New garage doors are aesthetically pleasing, offer security, and are long-lasting.
