Garage Doors – A Smart Investment in Your Home
Your garage door heavily influences your home’s curb appeal. It makes sense that garage door replacement is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make, as demonstrated by Remodeling Magazine’s 2023 Cost vs. Value Report. According to Remodeling’s National Cost vs. Value Report for 2023, replacing a garage door gives you a 102.7% ROI.
To put it another way, if you spend an average of $4,302 to replace your garage door, it can increase the total resale price of your home by $4,418, which means you’ll get your money back, plus a modest profit. Many other home improvement projects have a much lower ROI. For example, a minor kitchen remodel has an 85.7% ROI, and a roof replacement has a 61.1% ROI. That’s a far better return at resale than remodeling a kitchen or bathroom or replacing a roof or windows.
At Automatic Garage Door Company, our staff can help you make the best decision for your needs. Our experts are friendly, knowledgeable and never pushy. We will offer suggestions regarding selection, convenient features, plus safety and security features.

We know you’ll love the new look.
Choosing a Garage Door
A garage door makes up a large percentage of your home’s curb appeal, so why not make it a look that impresses? At Automatic Garage Door Company, we have doors to fit any lifestyle and budget. We will help you consider all aspects of your garage door, from curb appeal to insulation, construction, openers, price and more, so you end up with the perfect door for your needs. Whether it’s a basic builder-grade garage door or a beautiful custom hardwood door, we can expertly handle any residential garage door in Cleveland, Ohio.
How to Choose a Garage Door
Residential garage doors come in many different colors, designs, insulation values and sizes. Ultimately your decision will be based on the following factors.
- Style. Many models offer traditional panel designs with recessed or raised panels that can be short or long. Window options are available to complement the look of almost any home. Consider your home’s architecture, then find the design and color that matches it well.
- Insulation. If your garage connects with the rest of the home, an insulated garage door will boost energy efficiency for cost savings and comfort. A polyurethane insulated door offers the highest insulation R-value.
- Material. The material used to make your door will largely determine its durability and maintenance requirements. Steel is the most durable material, while vinyl is most resistant to dents and never needs to be painted. For the beauty of wood without the maintenance, a fiberglass-over-steel door is an excellent alternative. Aluminum garage doors are lightweight, strong and will not rust. And nothing compares to the beauty of a real wood garage door.
- Window design. Windows turn an ordinary garage door into a statement. They also allow natural light into the garage interior for energy savings. Choose from a variety of window styles, from clear glass to artistic designs.
- Cost. Many of our customers are surprised at how affordable garage doors can be. Cost is determined by features and material and typically ranges from uninsulated steel doors to the most expensive custom wood doors.
Choosing the right garage door can raise the appeal and value of your home to a new level. Options and styles for garage doors are truly endless! Whether a carriage house, traditional, or contemporary look appeals to you, we recommend starting at the Clopay Garage Door Buying Guide and working your way to design through the Clopay Imagination System.

Garage Door Opener Installation
During the 30 years that Automatic Garage Door Company has been serving the Cleveland area and beyond, we’ve learned a thing or two about garage door opener installation. We know how important a good opener is to the function and safety of your door, and offer a complete line of residential garage door openers and accessories from the most trusted brands on the market: LiftMaster® and Genie®. We know our products inside and out, and can help you choose just the right one for your system. Safety and performance are always our number one priority.
Today’s Openers Offer So Many Features
Today’s garage door openers are safer, more advanced and more convenient than ever before. Some allow you to control the opener from a computer or smartphone, and can tell you how long the garage door has been shut. Integrated security cameras can offer peace of mind and security while offering Amazon the ability to drop a package off inside of your garage!
Some are so quiet you can’t hear them operating from inside your home, or have higher horsepower for maximum lift capacity. Others can work even when the power fails with a battery backup system. Wireless keypads can offer easy access from outside your garage. Multi-button remotes can control multiple doors with the push of a button. Automatic Garage Door Company can help you obtain the complete opener system and accessories to customize your home needs.
Repair or Replace?
Due to the risk for injury, the Automatic Garage Door Company always recommends professional garage door opener repair. There are a number of factors that help us to determine whether your opener should be repaired or replaced. Age, condition of the machine, repair cost, type of garage door and how often the door is used will all be considered. Don’t assume you will have to buy a new unit; often our technicians can make repairs that will restore the opener to like-new condition! However, the cost of parts necessary to keep a 20-year-old opener operating safely typically exceeds the value of a comparable replacement. In any case, we can provide you with a professional opinion that will help you make the decision to repair or replace.
The Automatic Garage Door Company recommends that all garage door openers made prior to 1993 be replaced, as opposed to being repaired. This is because most older units do not contain external entrapment protection devices, such as infrared sensors and sensing edges, and therefore do not meet the Consumer Products Safety Commission’s current standards for garage door opener safety.
