Why Should I Replace My Door?
Garage doors have made great strides from the traditionally dull past choices. There are many new styles, colours, and options.

Other than personal preference to make your home look better, here are some reasons to upgrade:
- A leaking door will result in damage to the foundation of your home, as well as any items that are nearby the sustain water damage. Rusted tools, boxes of items stored in the garage, lawn equipment, and anything else that is inside your garage may become water-logged or grow mildew due to moisture.
- An older door is not a secure door. Entering through a broken or defective door is an easy way in for a thief.
- A new door comes with a warranty and is certain to be maintenance free for some time to come. Old doors will eventually require repairs.
