What a Difference a Door Makes on the Appearance of Your Home

When it comes to your home’s curb appeal, one often-overlooked feature is the garage door. In fact, it can make up about a third of your home's overall visual impact. While it might be hard to see the big picture when you're used to looking at the same door every day, changing it can have a dramatic effect on your home's style and feel. That’s why we decided to take a closer look at a few real-life examples of how updating a garage door can completely transform the appearance of a house. These before-and-after shots show just how much of a difference a new door can make—whether it's modernizing the look, blending in with the rest of the house, or simply adding more character.
