Sectional Garage Doors
These are one of the most versatile, cost-effective, and low-maintenance options on the market. As a result, they are by far the most popular of all residential garage doors. They are generally made with aluminum or steel, and they lend themselves to easy customizations such as window inserts, textures, insulation, and various colors.
Canopy Garage Doors
These garage doors are up and over doors that move in a single, solid piece. These are different from sectional garage doors in that they will not tuck 100% of the way into your garage. They end up sticking out about 1/3 from the garage door opening. When fully open, these garage doors are horizontal to the pavement on angled arms. When they move, the arms either expand or retract to move the canopy up or down.
Carriage Garage Doors
Also sometimes referred to as barn-style garage doors, carriage garage doors are very quaint. As the name implies, they date back to the time of carriage houses. Today, these rooms house vehicles – not horses and buggies – but the doors can still add that old-world charm. These types of doors were traditionally built from wood, and as a result natural finishes tend to be popular. However, we can create a custom steel garage door for you if you’d prefer.
Side-Hinged
These are not actually the most popular option for residential garage doors, but they do have unique advantages that are worth discussing. First, they look very sleep. Second, they are a great option if you have obstructions in your garage, your garage offers limited headroom, or if you only use your garage for storage.
Roll-Up Doors
Made from several horizontal slats of steel, roll-up doors include long, slender panels that wrap around a coil mechanism installed within your garage. These are most often used in back sheds or garage storage alternatives. However, they are extremely durable and require very little maintenance.
