If your garage door is not adding any value or beauty to your home, it might be time to do something with it. You can transform the way your home looks by having the right garage doors on your house, and here are three ways you could makeover your garage doors.

Replace The Door

While this is an obvious choice if you want to improve the way your garage door looks, it is often the best option because it offers a brand new door. If you are going to invest a lot of money into your garage door, it might be worthwhile to get quotes on new garage doors.

When you get a new garage door, you will get all new parts, which means it will not only look great, but it will also work perfectly too. Replacing a garage door is not always the best choice because there is a lot of work involved; however, it is a good idea if the door:

• Is old and outdated
• Does not work properly
• Has damage on it
• Is not insulated

The best part about choosing this option is that you can select a door that is really unique, different, and beautiful. Of all the garage door types available today, consider getting a wooden one. Wooden doors are heavy, but they stand out. They are different from the standard steel, aluminum, or vinyl doors that you see on most homes.

Paint It

If your garage door is in great shape and really doesn't need to be replaced, you may simply want to make some changes to the door itself to improve the way it looks. One way to do this is by painting it. You can paint almost any type of garage door, but it is important to make sure you use the right type of paint. It is also important to take the time to prep the door before you begin painting it. You could paint the door one solid color if you would like, or you could get a little more creative and create a mural on the door. If you are not an expert painter, you could hire a painting company to do this for you, and they could create any type of scene you would like.

Another idea is to use garage door stickers to create a very "unusual" image on your garage door. You can special order stickers for your garage door, and these stickers contain images of things, such as horses, tractors, or cars. When you put a sticker like this on your door, people driving by may be tricked by the illusion of the sticker. It may look like there is really a horse standing in your garage in a pasture, and this can be a really unique way to makeover a garage door.

Dress It Up With Windows And Hardware

The final option you have is to dress up your existing garage door with windows or hardware. Garage doors almost always come in panels, which can be replaced if needed. These panels are often replaced only when they become damaged, but you could replace some of them with new panels that contain windows. Adding windows to your garage door will truly change the way it looks.

Another option is to add fancy hardware to your garage door. Hardware comes in all types of metals, including wrought iron, copper, and brass, and adding some hardware to a door will make it come alive.
