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.

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

This may not be a problem now, but you might find yourself facing the problem of your garage door not working properly in the long run. Garage door replacement parts include pulleys which may have worn out.Two pulleys,which are stationary on both sides of the door, are mounted above your garage door’s frame. There are also two other pulleys attached to springs, which can move. If they do not rotate or turn easily, when you open the door, replace them. We are professionals that can handle any of the repairs you might need.

Have you ever thought of the idea of putting windows on your existing garage door? The windows do not need to be huge bay windows, but small squares, which can let the light in. Remember that these windows need to be mounted or placed in a high position, where nobody can peep in to see the items stored in your garage. However, well-placed windows can improve the lighting, as well as the decorative style and appeal of your garage door.
These garage door windows would need proper fitting in the garage door panels, especially if they are made up of multipanel sections. As you fold up the panels , and ride them to the ceiling of the garage, when it is opened, and straighten and unfold them, when the garage is closed, it is logical that the windows should be able to survive this opening, closing, folding and unfolding process.
Size counts here, that is why the windows are comparatively smaller in size. Have your window placed in the most aesthetically pleasing position by a professional such as Fort Collins Garage Door.
The opening and closing procedure is where one also comes to the point of garage door replacement parts and garage door repair.We wiil address that in our next post.

There are many reasons your garage door opener may need troubleshooting. Here are some of the most common problems:

The garage door opener does not work with either the wall switch or the remote control unit – Make sure that the unit is plugged in and that there is not a blown circuit on your circuit breaker. If these conditions are both correct then you need to have a professional out to diagnose the real problem. Electrical problems are not something to mess with.

The garage door makes considerable noise when the remote control switch is pressed – Try lubricating the parts including the springs, rollers and hinges. If this doesn’t work to reduce the noise, your garage door may be warped and causing the noise from rubbing on the channels. Have a professional in to see if you can repair the warped panels or if you need a garage door replacement.

The opener is straining when attempting to lift the door – Close the garage door and remove the garage door opener attachment to the door. Manually raise the door. A properly functioning garage door should raise easily on the springs. If it does not, the springs may be at the end of their life. Do not attempt to replace or repair your springs unless you are a professionally, they are under high tension.
