I love talking about garage doors and the subject today is really exciting
 
because our listeners have a choice when their garage door begins to age or maybe it's broken in need of repair and the real question is is do we put more money into this old garage door or do we invest in a new one and get the one
 
we've always wanted that will last longer that's exactly correct um my biggest
thing fix or replace we have the parts we can put it on the door we can make it run up and down but
you're still stuck with the cracks and the bends and the outside aesthetics the
paint is oxidizing there's just no none of that to the front of your home you know you got that 1985 through 1990 honda accord you drop a new transmission and or an engine into it and you're driving it around that's great the car runs good but you're still stuck in that same car but you go and get a new car
and you get in there how does that make you feel yeah and you know in garage
doors it's not like cars there are no classics right no one says oh my gosh
look at that look at that 1965 garage door it's a classic we do that with
1:47
automobiles but we don't do it with
1:48
garage doors a door that's from 1965
1:53
is is well retired
1:56
yeah maybe some old garage door heads
1:58
will be like oh that they don't
1:59
manufacture that door anymore and they
2:01
might kind of geek out on it but as far
2:03
as the general populace no no one's
2:05
looking for classic garage doors
2:07
exactly
2:08
so the real question is is does it make
2:11
sense to just move forward with a better
2:15
door because many people
2:17
buy a home that has what i call builder
2:20
grade doors okay the door is basically
2:23
good enough to sell the house when the
2:25
builder builds it unless it's a real
2:27
nice custom home so that being said
2:31
you can put a real nice new garage door
2:33
that's going to be quieter run smoother
2:35
and last a lot longer john
2:38
yeah that's correct and there's when
2:40
you're a homeowner
2:42
you want to make your home as best as
2:44
possible and people have all these
2:45
upgrades they want to do the walk-in
2:47
closet they want to do the kitchen
2:50
and redo their entire home
2:53
right but the return on investment
2:55
kitchen's one of those ones we redo the
2:56
kitchen it's going to raise our home
2:58
value anything that i put in the home if
3:00
you're smart with your money you want it
3:02
to pay for itself
3:04
down the line well garage doors
3:07
for the past 10 years ranging between 95
3:10
to 104 percent roi with a return on your
3:14
investment
3:16
for the past 10 years over all those
3:18
home improvements
3:19
so the garage door if you're even
3:21
picking like what do i want to do what
3:23
can benefit my home the greatest garage
3:25
door is at the top of the list and you
3:27
don't have to take my word for it just
3:29
go look it up online what's the number
3:31
one home improvement return on
3:33
investment and you'll see it right there
3:34
year after year above 95 minimum yeah
3:38
and john you're absolutely right and
3:40
really the big reason why
3:43
is because garage doors replacement
3:47
service and repair all of it
3:49
is one of the least expensive in terms
3:52
of dollars home improvement so it's not
3:54
like a new swimming pool and a new
3:56
kitchen and a new roof that's what
3:57
really helps the roi on it so a lot of
4:00
people say my gosh what does it cost to
4:01
get a new garage door you know it's
4:03
going to be astronomical i'm telling you
4:06
it's one of the least expensive home
4:07
improvements you can make and in many
4:09
instances the facade of the home
4:13
has about 30 to 40 percent
4:16
garage door and it's really important
4:19
for the curb appeal so why not upgrade
4:21
that door
4:23
that's exactly right so 40 of your curb
4:26
appeal i would say
4:27
as far as the aesthetics of your house
4:29
when you pull in if you get a new garage
4:31
door your neighbors are going to come up
4:33
to you and say did you paint the house
4:35
that's the only thing it looks like you
4:37
repainted the entire home
4:40
right but paint that wears after a
4:42
little bit a lot of garage door
4:43
manufacturers and company
4:45
the surface and finish of the door is
4:47
lifetime warranty so it's not going to
4:49
fade like painting your house it's the
4:51
most least expensive longest lasting
4:55
best return on investment that you can
4:56
do on the aesthetics of your home it's
4:58
amazing
4:59
no question uh for those of you who are
5:02
thinking of selling your home
5:04
i'm telling you one of the things you
5:06
should get done is your garage door
5:09
because it is such a big part
5:12
literally it's a big wide part of many
5:16
of our
5:17
homes unless you have a side entry but
5:19
if we have that front entry and you've
5:21
got two or three doors
5:24
that's pretty significant and you're
5:26
going to make a big difference in the
5:29
look of the home another thing is you
5:31
might want to get your front door
5:34
worked on either painted or refinished
5:36
if it's a wood door and of course weed
5:39
the flower beds and and mulch and just
5:42
clean things up wherever you need to but
5:45
john is so right the
5:47
the cost which i wouldn't even call it a
5:49
cost the investment
5:51
in new garage doors is minimal and john
5:55
quickly explain the wide array because
5:57
people don't have to have the top top
6:00
end i mean they can get okay they can
6:02
get an insulated door steel-backed all
6:04
happy great garage door whether you're
10:29
going to be in the home forever or
10:30
you're selling it and you know it's
10:32
taken care of
10:33
it's really that simple
