Welcome back! In the past couple of posts, we have talked about the idea of adding a garage to a home that doesn’t currently have one. Our Durham garage door repair experts have provided details on the benefits and considerations regarding garage additions:

• Adding a garage to increase the value of your home
• Adding a garage to entice potential buyers
• Attached garages
• How big the garage should be
• Detached garages
• Additional levels

Today, we are going to talk about another key factor in any type of garage, the garage door.  Garage doors protect your belongings, serve as entrances to your home and offer a warm space to work when needed. Without garage doors, your home is exposed to the elements. This issues might cause problems with the heating and cooling of your home.
If you’re thinking of adding a detached garage at this point, it’s a good idea to really focus on garage door types, first. Once the garage becomes detached, it’s more than just an extension of your home. Garage doors always matter, but when you aren’t able to keep a constant watch on your belongings, because they’re in a different building, safety and protection plays an important role. Consider talking with our garage door repair experts about the different garage door types before settling on any one type.
When thinking about garage addition ideas,  construction costs, and more it’s important to focus on budget first, and decide on details after. Once the budget is set, garage size, cost, upgrades and other details will fall into place.
