These are just a few of the fantastic concepts for garage door upgrades - you could additionally upgrade your garage into an extra bedroom, a rumpus room, or even a gym! Garages should always be considered an addition of your home space.
Garage upgrades can make the value of your home increase, in fact! It makes home extensions a much more likely type of renovation, as it becomes much more affordable! And since the garage is already (hopefully) structurally sound, you can likely do much of the upgrades yourself with no need for a remodeling professional.
The only negative considerations one should hold in mind regarding garage door updates is that your home may no longer have a dedicated space for your car, and that some areas may require homeowners to receive a garage conversion permit before the garage can be legally transformed.
