We spend hours outdoors beautifying our yards with pots of flowers, manicured lawns and tidying up entryways. But don’t forget to refresh one of the biggest areas of your house - your garage door. Buying a brand new door is the best thing you can do to update the look of your home but that’s not always an option. If you’re not ready to purchase something new, there are at least three things you can do now to upgrade your garage door.

Maximizing Garage Storage Marie Kondo, the Japanese organizing consultant, and her tidying methods are influencing how we clean and organize our kitchens, closets and basements – so naturally, the garage is next on the list. While some of what we store in the garage may not spark joy (unless we’re talking about the spark of jumper cables), it’s still important to keep them organized and in their proper place for when you need them. Here are some tips to maximize your garage space.

Garage Door Replacements Offer Huge ROI Home renovation projects are big business and big expenses. To remodel a kitchen can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $33,000, on average for minor upgrades, or even more based on finishes, increased square footage, etc. Minor bathroom remodels are about $8,000 to $10,000 on average but could potentially be as high as $20,000. But if there’s one home improvement that should be at the top your list it’s replacing your old, shaky, inefficient garage door with a new, premium door.

Between trimming and greening-up your grass, filling flower pots, weeding garden beds, and painting siding and trim, you put a lot of work into improving your home’s curb appeal. But many homeowners overlook one giant piece of your home’s exterior, your garage door. For some home styles, the garage door can take 20 to nearly 50 percent of frontage space. Don’t let this valuable space go to waste. Use it to help boost your home’s curb appeal.

For many of us, a garage is more than just a space to park cars or store bicycles. It is also a workshop, game room, party space and the perfect spot to watch a rain shower. Controlling a garage’s climate can be a challenge. It can be expensive (and often unnecessary) to extend the AC or heat into this space. But a couple updates and fixes now can help you keep your cool this summer.

Your garage door is an intricate piece of machinery that serves many functions; it is an extra door to your home, a security system and it protects your vehicles from inclement weather. We know a thing or two about garage doors. The upward-lifting door and electric garage door opener was invented by our founder, C.G. Johnson, in the 1920s.

Your garage door has been there for you over the years protecting your home from inclement weather and keeping it safe from intruders. But just like every other part of your home, it will wear out after about 10 to 15 years. So if your door could use a refresh, or isn’t working as smoothly as it once did, call Overhead Door of Sioux City and Yankton™. We can show you all our new door options.

Home improvement is big business these days. There are hundreds of television shows and videos dedicated to the subject; there are even multiple cable channels that only air shows about home improvement. And not only can we not get enough information about how to improve our homes, but we also love a big reveal. Luckily our DoorView design center offers the best of both.

Positive reviews are the lifeblood of any small business. A great online reputation ensures our future customers that not only are our products are top notch but our customer service is as well.

Your garage door is probably the hardest working door in your home. It opens and closes each morning for your commute and then throughout the day for odd jobs like taking out the trash, grabbing the mail or getting out a bicycle. But every time your door opens and closes, the springs feel the wear and tear until one day, they break.
