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.
Standard garage door sizes typically fall into two categories: single and double-car garage doors. Single-car garage doors are usually 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high, whereas double-car garage doors are typically 16 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet high. We carry most of the standard sizes with basic designs and colors in stock and are ready to install them within two weeks of the order.
Some garage doors can simply be repaired while others need to be completely replaced. Garage door repairs on older garage doors often cost less than installing new ones. The best way to determine if you need a garage door repaired or replaced is to schedule an annual preventative maintenance appointment.
There are several signs that indicate your garage door needs servicing. If your door is making unusual noises, is slow to open or close, or if the door feels heavy when operated manually, these are all signs that you should have your door serviced.
