Whats your style?

THE HOTTEST STYLE IN GARAGE DOORS...CARRIAGE STYLE DOORS.

So you’ve got this gaping hole in the front of your house that fits one, two or three cars. What a huge opportunity to create curb appeal! Carriage house doors are by far the hottest design trend this year! They open just like your old garage door, but they fool the eye by mimicking the hinged, swing-out door style of old world and charming carriage houses.

New carriage house garage doors are available in real wood, steel, or wood composites and can be stained or painted to match the exterior of your home. Steel carriage doors offer a low-maintenance yet attractive and durable choice. Wood composite doors offer the beauty of wood with more durability. Fitted with all the latest accessories, from glass window designs to wrought-iron decorative hardware that adds a distinctive period look, new carriage house doors give any home a stunning makeover.

STAYING TRADITIONAL:RAISED PANEL DOORS
The most common style is the traditional colonial raised panel steel garage door, which has dominated the American neighborhood for more than 25 years. These steel doors are available with a woodgrain texture, imitating the patterns of real wood. .

MAKE A STATEMENT: DESIGN YOUR OWN
Do you have a one-of-a-kind home where only a one-of-a-kind garage door will do? Some garage door manufacturers will create a custom door, designed by you, that would look perfect on your home. A warning though- designing your own door ie: custom doors, can be a very expensive way to go. Since your garage door is usually the largest decorative element on your home, this investment can create a showcase garage door that will set your entire home apart from your neighbors. The drawback to this, is if you go overboard and then decide to sell, it can detract from the attractiveness of your home.

STORM-STRENGTH GARAGE DOORS
Whether you live on the coast, inland or in the heartland, your home needs to stand up to the powerful winds that extreme weather brings. Whether this means winter snowstorms or the howling, battering winds of more severe storms, new wind-resistant garage doors are tested to face the raw challenges of Mother Nature.

During hurricanes, and extreme winds, houses with an attached garage can literally blow apart if they’re outfitted with flimsy garage doors. Wind damage experts know that garage doors are a home’s first line of defense against strong winds. Weaker garage doors are often the first to succumb, letting pressure build-up in your house, blowing off the roof and destroying your life’s investment.
