According to the annual survey of the leading home remodeling magazine, garage doors have the best payback of any investment in the remodel of your home (“Cost vs. Value 2018,” National Remodeling”). According to this survey under the category of Garage Door Replacement, a garage door job costing $3,470 has a resale value of $3,411, for a 98.3% payback. This is the best payback of any category in the survey.
New garage doors range in cost from about $500.00 and up, but a garage door replacement should be considered an investment rather than an expense. Because the garage door is such a large part of the front of most homes, the appraised value of the home will reflect the quality and curb appeal of the garage door.
