How Important are Garage Doors for Curb Appeal?
Whether you home has an attached or detached garage, the actual space taken up by the entry doors on the garage is a large part of what people see from the street.

This certainly can be the case if the double doors are not correctly matched with the home, but this is more of an issue of selection rather than a negative on the actual use of larger entry spaces.
