Garage Door Replacement

The single highest-ROI renovation per the Cost vs. Value report, returning 93-100%+ of its $4,000-$5,000 cost every year — outperforming #2's bathroom update by over 20% in pure recovery ratio. A new insulated steel garage door with windows transforms the entire front elevation, which matters because the garage door is the largest visible element on most facades. This project costs 80% less than #1's minor kitchen remodel yet delivers near-total cost recovery, making it the cheapest way to dramatically boost curb appeal.
