Only a trained technician should perform some types of maintenance. Do not attempt to make any adjustments on the torsion spring mounted above the door. Only a technician should adjust any bolt that is painted red. You can refer to our blog post on “Fall Garage Maintenance Chores” which describes typical owner-conducted maintenance chores.

Most homeowners choose from several common types of garage doors including sectional garage doors, tilt up garage doors, side hinged garage doors, roll up garage doors, sliding garage doors, and carriage house garage doors. Each garage door style has its own benefits when it comes to space, security features, and how the door opens. We help you choose the right garage door based on your garage, your house, and your everyday needs.

The sectional garage door is the most popular type for many homeowners. It uses a curved track, vertical track, and multiple panels that lift into the garage ceiling smoothly. Sectional doors fit most home styles, work with any garage door opener, and offer great energy efficiency when insulated. They’re also great for small garages because they don’t swing outward into the driveway.

A sectional garage door opens upward in separate panels, making it easier to use in garages with limited floor or driveway space. A tilt up garage door or tilt up door is a single panel that lifts into the garage ceiling in one motion. Tilt-up designs offer clean lines and a simple look, but they need more room in front of the garage to open properly. We help you pick the design that best fits your garage walls, overhead space, and style.

Carriage house garage doors, sometimes called carriage doors or old fashioned barn doors, bring a classic, traditional look to your home. They can be side hinged, swing outward, or built as modern garage doors that open overhead like a normal garage door while keeping the classic appearance. Many homeowners add decorative hardware, windows, and real wood finishes to boost curb appeal and match their home’s exterior.

Yes, roll up garage doors or roll up doors are a strong choice for small garages or areas with limited headroom. They open vertically and store inside a compact coil above the door frame, saving a lot of space. While they’re common in commercial buildings, many newer garage door types use this design for homes where space matters. They’re durable, low maintenance, and great if your garage ceiling has obstacles.

Steel garage doors are the most common because they’re durable and low maintenance. Wood garage doors or real wood designs offer a warm, classic look but need more regular maintenance. Aluminum and glass options work well for modern garage doors with clean lines and lots of natural light. The best material depends on your home styles, energy costs, and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with.

We help you measure your garage door sizes, look at the door frame, and match the garage door design to your home’s exterior. Whether you like traditional garage doors, carriage house styles, or modern garage doors, we guide you through the options. We also make sure your garage door opener, garage walls, and available space all work well with your new door.

Yes, many new garage doors come with upgraded insulation that helps improve energy efficiency and lower energy costs. Insulated steel, aluminum, or sectional doors help keep your house more comfortable and cut down on outside noise. This is especially helpful if your garage is attached to the home or used for storage or hobbies. A new door can also improve overall curb appeal and increase the value of your home.
