WORKING WITH DESIGN CONSULTANTS

Oftentimes, finding that just right garage door requires balancing what a customer needs with what a customer wants. Focusing on function is a great place to start. As the largest entry-point to your residence, consider your garage door’s impact on home security and energy efficiency. Your individual needs will impact which materials work best.

Similarly, understanding how you’d like to use your garage space can influence your overall design. Garages have much more capability than vehicle storage. Garages can store all types of possessions and even become extra habitable space with a properly insulated garage door.

DESIGNING A CUSTOM GARAGE DOOR

Beyond basic needs and function, your garage door choice impacts your home’s appearance. When designing your door, the main elements are: style, color, and windows.

Our design consultants have decades of experience bringing customers to their ideal garage door design. They’ll know how to select styles that compliment your home and avoid those that don’t.

The next step in garage door design is color. Color options are nearly endless, and it’s common to feel overwhelmed when trying to decide which is best. Garage doors contribute to a residence’s curb appeal, and our consultants will help you select a color that adds beauty and value to your home’s appearance.

Windows are an often overlooked aspect of custom garage door design. However, windows significantly impact how your garage door will compliment your home. Window design elements include: shape, frequency, and trim. Our design consultants can bring all these elements together and narrow some seemingly endless options.
