At a time when homeowners are looking to reap the most bang for their buck, a study released today by Remodeling magazine confirms that replacement of a basic garage door with a mid-range or upscale model is one of the best value buys that can be made. At 84 percent on average, the improvement ranks higher than a kitchen or bath remodel.For more information about upgrading your garage door, visit www.overheaddoor.com ."Depending on the house, a front-facing garage door can comprise up to 30 percent or more of a home's view from the curb," said Preston Bowen, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Overhead Door Corporation. "That means by choosing to upgrade, a homeowner can achieve a dramatic improvement to their property's curb appeal and a tremendous value at the same time."Dallas-based Overhead Door, the nation's leading manufacturer of overhead doors and openers for residential, commercial and industrial construction applications, commissioned Remodeling magazine to include garage doors for the first time in its 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value Report .
