Garages add a great deal of value to a house, useful, for storage as well as for protecting a vehicle from the elements. The difference between a garage and a carport, primarily, is that garages are enclosed while a carport is simply a roof with no walls, unless it is attached to the side of a house. Garages can be insulated against the elements as well, and can have various types of doors. Having the so-called ‘right’ garage door on a house will do more than potentially add value. It can add charm and increase the curb appeal at the same time.
