1) Garage Door Width
You need to start by choosing the proper width of your garage. Is it an one car or two car garage? Or, do you have a special-sized garage that is not standard size?
2) Garage Door Style
There are numerous garage door styles to choose from. Choose from options such as accents wood tones, raised panels, carriage house style, recessed panels, or flush panels.
3) Garage Door Material
Standard garage doors are typically made from aluminum. When you design a custom garage door, you have many options, such as metal, wood, better quality aluminum, steel, and other durable materials.
4) Garage Door Color
Depending on your garage door material, you can either paint or stain your new door. While most people stick with white, beige or neutral colored doors, a custom garage door allows you to chose the color, design, and finish to match or complement the exterior of your home.
5) Garage Windows
Adding glass to your garage doors also boosts home value and curb appeal and there are many different options to choose from. Choose from:
- Sunburst
- Cascade
- Cathedral
- Sherwood
- Mission
- Waterton
- or the many other window designs available.
6) Glass Type
Once you choose what type of windows you would like, you can decide whether you want clear, plain, frosted, glue chip, tinted, or obscure glass types.
7) Garage Door Opening
When you design a custom garage door, you can also decide what the opening will look like. There are many different arch options or choose a clipped corner look to make your house stand apart from those around you.
