Impact Garage Doors can increase the value of your home by $971

Regular plain garage doors are often the weakest point of a home. If you think about it, the large surface area of the garage door is held into place by the wheels and the track which are relatively flimsy. While forced human entry through the garage door is very much possible, the main threat is still strong winds. In cases like hurricanes, winds can blast through a garage door. Once the garage doors are open, then winds can build up pressure within the house, which results in more damage like damaging the roof and walls. According to statistics, 80% of the residential wind damage starts with a broken garage door. Thankfully, impact garage doors in La Mirada can help a great deal. La Mirada impact garage doors may look like normal doors at the front, but the back is specifically engineered to be extra strong. The extra reinforcing structures are designed to withstand forceful entry or strong hurricane winds. In fact, a good impact garage door can withstand winds up to 150-164 miles per hour.
