Many older homes in Atlanta, Georgia, were built with open carports instead of a closed garage with garage doors. Did you know you can increase your house value by enclosing your carport with garage doors?
Increase Security with Garage Doors
Having an open carport invites a thief to look through your car. When you enclose your carport with garage doors, your car and whatever else you store in the area are safe. In urban settings like Atlanta, security is important.
Increase Your Home’s Value
By framing that old carport and adding a lovely new garage door, you are securing your house and adding value and curb appeal to your property. Did you know that a new garage door is the number one home improvement that pays for itself when you sell your house?
CSS Garage Doors has extensive experience closing carports. We are a garage door company that also specializes in carpentry and windows. When we enclose a carport, our priority is making the new addition match the original construction. We always attempt to match the new siding with the old siding. In addition, flush plank siding usually looks great on older brick homes because it matches the facia boards around the roof line.
Garage Door Options for Atlanta
We have access to all the major garage door suppliers in the Atlanta area, so finding the right garage door for you will be easy. Garage doors have come a long way over the years, and there are too many potential styles to mention. The most common style is a basic stamped raised panel garage door, which comes in plain metal, insulated, two-sided steel, and urethane core construction. These same construction options are available in stamped carriage garage doors as well.
Modern garage doors also have wood grain paint options that mimic natural wood doors without the maintenance problems. Since most carports are visible from the front of the house, a large, stylish designer garage door will significantly improve the overall appearance of your home.
Entry Doors for Larger Carports
If you have a more oversized carport, an entry door can be added alongside the garage door. We carry Therma-Tru doors, metal or fiberglass foam core entry doors. Therma-Tru makes the highest quality entry doors with heavy-duty wood internal frames, energy-efficient urethane insulation, and many decorative low-E double-pane window options. The wood grain fiberglass carport doors can be stained to perfectly match wood doors, to the point that nobody will be able to tell the difference. Many carports are open on more than one side. We often install windows on the sides of carports to allow more natural light.
