The Real Cost of DIY vs. Professional Garage Door Installation

When it comes to installing a new garage door, homeowners often face a critical decision: Should they tackle the job themselves or hire a professional? While the DIY approach might seem appealing for its potential cost savings, the reality often reveals a different story. At Modern Day Garage, we specialize in service, maintenance, and new garage door installation. Let’s explore the real costs and benefits of DIY versus professional garage door installation.

The Challenges of DIY Garage Door Installation

Garage door installation is a complex task that requires precise measurements and adjustments. If you’re not experienced, the process can be time-consuming and frustrating. What might seem like a weekend project could extend into several days or even weeks.There are also many safety concerns and if you are not careful, this can open up a door for more potential errors. Leave the work to the professionals at Modern Day Garage. See below for more information about the difficulties of installing a garage door by yourself.

Complexity & Time

You must ensure that the door is perfectly aligned with the tracks, which involves careful calibration. Any deviation can result in the door not functioning properly, leading to repeated adjustments. Additionally, setting up the torsion springs is particularly challenging and potentially dangerous. These springs are under high tension and require specific tools and techniques to install safely. Incorrect handling can not only damage the door but also pose serious injury risks. One must also know how to wire sensors and openers, which involves electrical systems. Leave the hard work to the professionals for garage door installation. 

Safety Risk

Garage doors are heavy and can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Improper installation can lead to serious injuries or damage to your property. The weight of a typical garage door can range from 130 to over 400 pounds, depending on the material and size. Without proper handling, the door could fall, causing severe injuries. Additionally, the process of installing torsion springs is particularly hazardous because these springs are under immense tension and can cause serious harm if they snap or are installed incorrectly.

Potential Errors

Without professional expertise, there’s a higher chance of making mistakes during the installation process. These errors can lead to operational issues, such as the door not opening or closing properly, which is inconvenient and costly to fix. Incorrect alignment of the tracks can cause the door to jam or operate unevenly, putting strain on the motor and other components. Misjudging the tension on the springs can result in the door either not staying open or slamming shut unexpectedly, creating a significant safety hazard. Never worry about the safety of your garage door by using a professional garage door service. Schedule an appointment with Modern Day Garage today.

The Appeal of DIY Garage Door Installation

While the appeal of DIY garage door installation is understandable—offering potential cost savings, personal satisfaction, and scheduling flexibility can have significant drawbacks. There are several items that can go wrong during the installation process, even though there could be cost savings and more flexibility.

Cost Savings

One of the main reasons homeowners consider DIY garage door installation is to save money. By avoiding labor costs, you can potentially reduce the overall expense of the project. For those on a tight budget, this can be a compelling reason to go the DIY route. However, it’s essential to weigh these cost savings against potential hidden expenses. Mistakes during installation can lead to operational issues that require professional repairs, which can be costly. Additionally, DIY projects often require the purchase or rental of specialized tools and equipment that professionals already have on hand. Therefore, while DIY installation might seem like a cost-effective option initially, it’s important to consider all possible expenses before making a decision.

Flexibility

DIY projects allow you to work on your schedule. You won’t need to coordinate with a professional’s availability, which can sometimes be challenging. This flexibility means you can start and stop the project at your convenience, tackling it during weekends or evenings without being bound by an external contractor’s timeline. This can be particularly appealing for those with busy schedules or unpredictable availability. However, it’s important to balance this flexibility with the potential downsides, such as the increased risk of errors and safety concerns that come with DIY garage door installation.

The Benefits of Professional Garage Door Installation

Homeowners often face the choice between DIY garage door installation and hiring a professional. While DIY projects can be appealing for their potential cost saving, the advantages of working with a professional garage door installation company are both numerous and substantial. At Modern Day Garage, we advocate for entrusting this crucial job to skilled professionals, as it ensures the safety, efficiency, and durability of your garage door. Additionally, professional installation offers peace of mind and excellent value.

Experience & Expertise

Professional installers have gone through extensive training and much more hands-on experience, allowing them to handle any complexities that may arise during the installation process. Their deep understanding of various garage door systems, mechanisms, and safety protocols ensures that the job is done correctly and efficiently. By leveraging their expertise, professionals can identify potential issues before they become major problems, guaranteeing a seamless installation that enhances the functionality and longevity of your garage door.

Safety & Security

Garage doors are complex systems with numerous moving parts, heavy components, and intricate mechanisms that require precise measurements. A properly installed garage door enhances the security of your home, providing a robust barrier against potential intruders. Professionals also ensure that all safety features, such as sensors and automatic reverse mechanisms, are correctly installed and functioning, offering you and your family an added layer of protection.

Efficiency

Opting for a professional to install your garage door is a smart decision primarily due to the efficiency they bring to the process. They have the expertise and experience to handle the installation quickly and correctly, minimizing the risk of errors that can lead to future problems. Being efficient not only saves you valuable time but also ensures that your garage door operates smoothly and reliably from the outset.

The garage door is the most used entrance to a home and is one of the first things a visitor will see in a home. A shabby exterior is a large drawback when appraising a home, even if the interior is meticulously decorated and designed.

A new garage door is equipped with updated technology that can improve the energy efficiency of your home and garage. Your garage will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer with proper insulation. Also, a new garage door can reduce energy costs in your home because of the barrier created, which does not let the warm or cool air out of your home.

The Environmental Benefits of an Energy-Efficient Garage Door

Yes, there are benefits that come with purchasing an energy-efficient garage door, not only for you and your home but for the environment. Some of the few benefits for the environment include reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy consumption, using sustainable materials, and a longer lifespan. Having a new, energy-efficient garage door is beneficial for you because it can reduce energy costs and increase the lifespan of your garage door, but you are also helping contribute to a greener earth. See below for more details on how garage doors are beneficial for the environment.

Reduces Carbon Emissions

An insulated garage door will reduce your energy consumption, which also reduces carbon emissions because your overall carbon footprint is lower. Reducing your energy consumption results in a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, an energy-efficient garage door improves your home’s insulation, minimizing heat loss in the winter and keeping your garage cooler in the summer. This reduces the workload on your heating and cooling systems, leading to further energy savings and a significant reduction in the emissions generated by your household. By investing in an energy-efficient garage door, you’re not only enhancing your home’s comfort and cutting down on utility bills but also contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Lowering Energy Consumption

Installing a new energy-efficient garage door can significantly reduce your energy consumption by improving the insulation of your home. An energy-efficient garage door is designed with advanced insulation materials that help to maintain a stable temperature inside the garage, preventing heat loss during the winter and reducing heat gain in the summer. This thermal regulation minimizes the strain on your heating and cooling systems, allowing them to operate more efficiently and use less energy. Your overall energy consumption decreases, leading to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental impact.

Sustainable Materials

Many modern garage doors are constructed using recycled steel, aluminum, and wood, which reduces the demand for limited resources and minimizes the environmental impact of manufacturing. Additionally, these doors often incorporate eco-friendly insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam, which enhance energy efficiency while being less harmful to the environment. By choosing a garage door made from sustainable materials, you’re not only improving your home’s energy efficiency but also supporting environmentally friendly practices.

Longer Lifespan

Installing a new energy-efficient garage door not only benefits the environment but also extends the lifespan of the door itself. These doors are designed with new insulation materials that help to regulate the temperature inside your garage, reducing the expansion and contraction of materials caused by temperature fluctuations. This stability minimizes wear and tear on the door’s components, such as springs, tracks, and panels, leading to fewer repairs and replacements over time.

New Garage Doors from Modern Day Garage

Whether you are looking to spruce up the appearance of your home, are in need of a new garage door or are trying to become more environmentally friendly, Modern Day Garage is able to provide you with a garage door that fits your needs. We offer many environmentally friendly garage doors, made from sustainable materials and can reduce your overall carbon footprint because of energy-efficient insulation.

The Impact of a New Garage Door on Home Value

Are you considering purchasing a new garage door, but are not sure whether it will be worth the investment? We are here to inform you that investing in a new garage door is the most valuable exterior home improvement project you can purchase. Not only does a new garage door enhance the curb appeal of your home, but it also significantly increases its overall market value. With modern designs, improved functionality, and advanced security features, a new garage door offers a  list of benefits that go beyond aesthetics.

Does a New Garage Door Impact Home Value?

Did you know that replacing your garage door produces a 194% ROI? This means that if you purchase a new garage door for $5,000, you are adding $5,135 to the total value of your home. Other home improvement projects have a much lower ROI, such as kitchen remodels only producing around a 55% ROI. 

Why Does a New Garage Door Increase Home Value?

A new garage door does not only increase the value of your home monetarily but it enhances the quality of your garage space by ensuring your home is safe, secure, and that your garage door is stable. See below for more factors that are impacted by investing in a new garage door:

  • Safety
  • Security
  • Curb Appeal
  • Operation
  • Energy Efficiency

If you are looking to purchase a new garage door, contact Modern Day Garage today. 

1. Safety

New garage doors have enhanced safety features compared to older doors as design continues to change and improve over the years. Features on new garage doors can include enhanced photo-eye sensors, which prevent your garage door from closing when something might be in its path. Also, remote monitoring is available with many models, allowing you to keep an eye on your home and family when you might not be in the same vicinity. 

2. Curb Appeal

A new garage door can enhance the curb appeal of your home because the garage door is the first thing someone sees when they enter your home. Upgrading your garage door to complement other colors in your home can enhance the overall aesthetic of your property. Dents or missing panels can be dangerous and look worn out. Make your home look inviting and welcoming with a new garage door!

3. Security

Many new garage doors can connect to your phone or allow cameras and other modern technology to connect to it. Make sure you keep your family safe and secure with a new garage door that is equipped with rolling code technology. This type of technology generates a new code each time you use your opener, which prevents the burglars from trying to guess the code. Did you know that 9% of burglars enter through the garage door? Upgrading your garage door adds an extra layer of protection to your home.

4. Operation

If you notice squeaking noises or other unusual sounds, it may be time to get a new garage door. A new garage door can increase the value of your home because you no longer need to invest in repair needs as much. Older systems become worn out and can require additional maintenance and repairs because of the age of the door. Investing in a new garage door will create an overall smoother operation, reducing the stress of worrying if your garage door will work on a day-to-day basis. 

5. Energy Efficiency

Not only does a new garage door impact the overall value of your home, but it also reduces the energy cost incurred monthly because new garage doors are more energy efficient. Many attached garages have uninsulated garage doors, causing the HVAC units in your home to work harder, incurring more maintenance costs over their lifespan. The addition of a new, insulated garage door will allow your HVAC units to run less, and reduce energy costs because there is a better barrier between outside and your home.
