Carriage house garage doors are a popular choice for homeowners looking to give their home an old-world feel. These garage doors are made from wood or metal and feature a classic design that is reminiscent of a carriage house. The most common type of carriage house garage door is the swing-up style, which features two doors that swing up and out when opened. They are usually painted white or off-white and have decorative hardware, such as wrought iron handles and hinges. They can also be customized with different colors and finishes to match the home’s exterior. Carriage house garage doors are a great way to increase curb appeal and add value to a home. They are much more secure than traditional garage doors and are less vulnerable to break-ins and weather damage. They are also energy efficient and quieter than other types of garage doors. For those looking for an elegant, classic look to their home, carriage house garage doors are the perfect solution.
A garage door's lifespan can vary greatly depending on the material, quality of installation, maintenance, and local weather conditions. On average, a garage door can last between 15 to 30 years. Regular maintenance, such as lubrication and balance checks, can extend the door's lifespan.
There are several types of garage doors, including sectional, roll-up, and slide to the side garage doors. In South Florida area, the most common is the sectional garage door, which consists of several panels that slide up and overhead. The best type for you depends on your garage's size, shape, wind-load requirements in your specific area & functionality.
We recommend having your garage door serviced at least once a year, or more frequently if you use it extensively. A good time to have it serviced is before the start of the winter season.
