Why Your Garage Door Must Be Painted?
Because it highlights your house.
Let say you have a rough looking 40-years-old or new wooden or steel garage door it, will not look beautiful until you paint it. This will make your house look rough even it is painted well. Your garage door needs paint for several reasons:
1. Longevity
Cedar faced, or wooden style garage doors are becoming more and more popular. These doors should be stained once every two years and steel garage doors should be painted at a minimum of once every ten years. To protect the enamel, and prevent corrosion between the panels, it is important that you paint your steel garage door about as often as you paint your home.
2. Appearance
A gallon of paint or stain can make a huge difference in the appearance of your home. Whether you decide to use the color to contrast your existing trim of the house or go with a unique design, your home will be modified.
3. Functionality
Preventing rot, corrosion, an exposure are important as well. Especially with wooden garage doors, maintenance such as painting can triple the life of your door. Once the wood or steel begins to split or rot, the hinges, struts, and other components begin to pull loose.
4. Value
This is really you want to care about. If you paint or stain the garage door, it increases the value of your house.
