A New Garage Door Offers the Best ROI of Any Home Renovation

When it comes to return on investment (ROI), not all home improvement projects are created equal.

The projects with the best ROI increase your home’s curb appeal, according to various sources, including Remodeling Magazine and CNBC. Topping the list for ROI are new garage doors (103%) and new entry doors (101%).

According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2023 Cost vs. Value Report, a garage door replacement ROI of 103%, makes it the most cost-effective exterior home improvement project. This goes against what many people believe when it comes to home renovations. Likely influenced by all the home improvement shows on TV, the thought is that a flashy kitchen or bathroom remodel will increase ROI. It doesn’t. The glamorous interior remodels may make great TV viewing, but they won’t increase your ROI as much as a new garage door.

CNBC concurs. They claim that most renovations a homeowner can undertake will have an ROI of about 60 percent, but the ROI on a new garage door will return 103% of the cost. This means you can recoup more than the cost of the new garage door when you sell your home.

The smart homeowner is looking at curb appeal when it comes to ROI, and because a garage door that faces the street can account for one-third to one-half of your street view, it makes sense to consider upgrading your garage door.
