According to Remodeling magazine's 2015 Cost vs. Value study, which compares the value of popular home renovation projects, improving the perceived value of a home is as simple as giving the garage a makeover. 

The study evaluated the average $2,944 cost to replace a mid-range door with an upscale door and found a $2,429 value of the project at home sale, which equates to an 82.5 percent return, making it the second-best remodeling project in terms of return on investment (ROI) in the upscale home improvement category.
