Do you want your home to pop? Give it that extra punch when you are getting ready to sell? A big piece of your curb appeal is your garage doors. They can and often do make up a large portion of the front of your home, and when they do, you need to consider a garage door update.
Garage doors are one of the 1st things that a potential buyer will notice about your home. If they are ill fitting, dilapidated, bent, and askew… all of these things are noticed by potential buyers.
Homeowners often get used to things that potentially will ruin a sale, or at worst a showing because we see the property every day. We must try to look at our homes with “buyers eyes”.
As a Real Estate professional, when we pull up to a home with buyers in our car you the seller have less than 10 seconds for them to be willing to take a further look at your home. So make the most of those 10 seconds and do it with fresh paint, new garage doors, freshened front door, clean windows and updated landscaping.
You have just added one more reason to put your home at the top of a buyers list.

Save Money On Your Energy Bill!!

by Rick Smith on July 15, 2010

Garage door weatherproofing is a key element in not only protecting your home but also saving on your energy bills. Your garage door can be a major source of energy loss when not weatherproofed properly. Weatherproofing is an easy type of home repair that you can’t afford not to do.
A properly maintained garage door will definitely have well-maintained weather stripping (a flexible rubber material that protects against drafts). If the weather stripping becomes brittle, it should be replaced. This can be purchased at almost any hardware store or home repair shop. Installing weather stripping around your garage door is easily done and will take just an afternoon.
I know summer seems to be a funny time to think about weatherstripping and saving money on your energy bill, but now is the time to make sure your garage door is tight. Trying to do this repair in cold weather would freeze your hands and the weatherstripping wouldn’t be malleable. Fort Collins Garage Door can do this repair easily. Call us at (970)-301-0124
