What is one of the best home improvement projects with payback for your house?
Replace your garage door.
According to the 2024 Cost Versus Value Study
coordinated by Remodeling magazine, a garage door replacement returns a whopping 193.9% of the investment cost for a homeowner. That’s the #1 highest recoup value of more than 23 home improvement projects in the study. To put it plainly, for every $1,000 you invest in a garage door, $1,939 is added to the value of your home.

Oftentimes garage doors are a critical part of the curb appeal of a house.
Whether you’re selling or looking to stay for awhile, your home’s overall appearance benefits from a new garage door.

Having a newer garage door makes it a more pleasant way to exit and re-enter your home each day. Plus, a newer door can be more reliable and safer than an older door that has its best years of service behind it.
