Garage Door Bowling Green KYIf the garage door on your Bowling Green, Kentucky, home has seen better days, it may be time to stop repairing and patching things up, and start looking for a new door. While the prospect of such a large purchase can seem a bit daunting, keeping a few basics in mind can help make the process easier.

One of the first things to consider is the architecture of your home. Because the garage door can account for up to 30 percent of a house’s façade, you will want to make sure that the door suits the style of your home. You will find doors that complement any style of home, from classic garage doors with traditional panel designs to opulent carriage house doors in elegant wood or wood-look fiberglass.

Optional windows can make a dark garage much less gloomy during the day, and decorative hardware will allow you to add a personal touch. Plus, most manufacturers offer doors in a wide variety of colors to complement your home.

Another consideration is your lifestyle. Do you use your garage strictly for housing your car, or does it function as a play room, laundry room, office, or workshop? If your garage functions as more than a place to store the car, you will probably want a garage door that will help keep the temperature in the room comfortable while reducing the amount of outdoor noise that can penetrate it. Garage doors are available with numerous insulation options to increase energy efficiency.

Additionally, bear in mind that regardless of how much you can spend on a garage door, you will find attractive options that will look terrific on your house while allowing you to stay within your budget. Premium wood doors are generally the most expensive, followed by fiberglass, steel, vinyl, single sheet steel, and lower grade wood doors.
