How To Give Your Garage a Makeover Without Breaking the Bank!

A garage does more than house your car—it’s a prominent part of your home’s aesthetic. While renovating the exterior of a home can be strenuous and expensive, your garage door can be quickly transformed with just a few inexpensive accessories. Read on to see North Shore’s array of hardware decals, window overlays, and weatherseals that will raise your garage door to the next level and leave your neighbors in envy.

Is a Garage Door Facelift Worth It?

North Shore’s array of inexpensive window overlays and accessories from Coach House and beyond make giving your garage a facelift affordable and economical. Improving the appearance of your garage can contribute to an increase in your home’s property value, as potential buyers often appreciate a well-maintained and attractive garage exterior. Installing one of North Shore’s colorful bottom seals will insulate your garage for better energy efficiency and energy savings over time. Finally, a garage door facelift’s pleasing appearance is sure to increase your satisfaction with your home and give guests an excellent first impression. There’s little reason to not turn your old garage door into an aesthetic highlight! See the difference below.

How to Get the Look of Windows for Less?

Adding windows is one of the easiest ways to improve your garage door’s appearance, but window inserts can cost a pretty penny. Luckily, you can achieve the same look for less with DIY garage door window overlays from Coach House. Coach House’s signature décor windows feature a highly reflective window area that creates the illusion of real windows. Their durable frames can be screwed into your garage door so they stay in exactly the right place. The window overlays come in white and sandstone and feature an elegantly textured fill over the panes to give your car garage the makeover it deserves.

The window overlays are designed for single-stall garage doors, and simulated window overlays come in pairs. One pair is recommended for a single-stall garage and two pairs are best for double-width garage doors.

These windows seamlessly coordinate with Coach House Accents Hinge & Handle Kits (sold separately), which further enhances the aesthetic appeal of your garage door. The textured frames are customizable too, so you can paint them to match your home's existing color scheme. Crafted with automotive-grade plastic resin and durable weather-resistant finishes, the Coach House décor windows ensure longevity and resilience against the elements. They are compatible with many garage door models, including Wayne Dalton and Clopay garage doors.

How Do Decorative Handles and Hardware Improve a Garage Door on a Budget?

Another inexpensive option to reinvent your garage door is by adding decorative hardware. North Shore carries screw-in and magnetic options so you can choose what works best for you. Worried about the strength of magnetic hardware? Don't be. Coach House uses neodymium magnets on its decorative hardware. These magnets are the strongest you can buy and they'll retain 99% of their strength over 10 years.

If you want a particular style, consider combining fleur-de-lis hinges with a lift handle and door knocker for a coordinated look. Or go for a more classic style with spear-end or Jamestown hardware. Whatever your vision is, North Shore has the hardware for homeowners to complete their garage transformation.

How Does Installing Weatherseals Save You Money?

Sprucing up your garage isn’t just for show when it comes to weatherseals. Weatherseals are installed on the top, bottom and sides of a garage door and help insulate your garage, which keeps extreme weather out to help cut down on energy costs. Weatherseals even protect against pests, dirt, debris, rain, and more! Top and side seals have a classy wooden finish and come in multiple colors to suit your personal aesthetic, making them a critical home improvement that combines style with savings! If you need a specific shade or color the seal retainers can be painted to match a door’s aesthetics as well.
