DESIGN CONSULTANT EXPERTISE

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

Understanding how your customers will use their garage space can influence the overall design. Garages have much more capability than vehicle storage. Garages can store all types of possessions and even become extra livable space with a properly insulated garage door.

We know all the right questions to ask that will help your customers choose the most appropriate garage door, reflective of their personality, and much more. That's where we come in. We take the pressure off, so you can focus project management, and leave the garage door details to our team of experts. As a garage door contractor, be assured your clients are in the hands of design consultants with decades of experience, bringing your customers' design to life.

A CUSTOM DOOR AWAITS

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

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

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

The last 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 for your customers. Garage doors contribute to a residence’s curb appeal, and our consultants will help you select a color that adds beauty and value to any home’s appearance.
