While having a modern and professionally installed garage door will go a long way towards helping increase the value of your home, there are some accessories that can do the same, too.
If you’re looking to make your home more sellable, and even increase its value, consider investing in some of the following garage door gadgets and accessories:
- A high-quality garage door opener
Most homeowners already have an automatic garage door opener, but if you haven’t yet discovered the many benefits of having one, perhaps now is the time to try? With many modern openers having Wi-Fi capabilities, your garage door can be opened remotely from your smart phone, reducing the need for clumsy remotes that are all too easy to lose.
Making life easier for you, and certainly for prospective buyers, a correctly installed and state-of-the-art garage door opener will make your home more attractive when selling it, and undoubtedly add value to it.
- A keypad lock for the side door
Many American homes have side doors that enable direct access to the garage from inside the home. This access point can be of concern to many homeowners when it comes to security, and so beefing up the way in which it’s locked, will certainly help you add value to your home when it comes to selling it.
Keyless locks can still ensure that everyone who has permission to access the home through the garage, can safely do so, but eliminates the risk of lost keys or picked locks.
- Laser parking assistant
Whether your vehicle is big and your garage door is small, there are a lot of obstacles to avoid, or multiple vehicles to park; parking neatly and without hitting anything can be tricky for even the most skilled of drivers. To make parking your car inside the garage a cinch every time – no matter who’s driving! – invest in a laser parking assistant that can be mounted to the ceiling. Park your car perfectly every time, and give buyers another reason to love your home and everything it has to offer.
For a wider selection of garage door accessories, call in to see your local garage door specialist, and don’t forget that oftentimes, this may be your local licensed locksmith. If this is the case, why not use the opportunity to discuss security for your garage door with the locksmith, too, and make sure that your garage is as safe and protected as it can possibly, especially over the holiday season when all American homes are more vulnerable to theft, intrusion and vandalism.
