CLEAN UP WITH A NEW GARAGE DOOR

Add inspecting your garage door to your cleaning checklist. Does it close correctly, and seal tight? Be prepared by cleaning the outside as well as the inside of your garage. Updating your garage door can increase the value of your home, maximize security and safety, as well as reduce your energy bill.

"Even if you do not heat your garage, it is still important to have a door which seals well," states Gary Bechtold, President of St. Cloud Overhead Door. "A more efficient garage door will moderate the garage temperature."

Your garage door does not have to be insulated to save you money; simply improving the seal can make a difference. However, your garage door protects the largest opening in your home and therefore, insulation is an important factor to consider when choosing a door, especially in these times of the high heating and cooling costs.

"Choosing an insulated garage door means increased energy efficiency, soundproofing, and quieter operation," Bechtold adds. "Well-insulated doors help regulate the extremes of temperatures in your garage."
