Do Your Research
Like any major decision, the first step is to gather information and know your options. When it comes to a garage door, your options may vary depending on if you’re looking for a residential garage door or a commercial overhead door.

Some factors to help narrow down your options include:

  • Door material: There are several types of garage door materials to choose from, as well as different styles to meet your needs and decorum.
  • Frequency of use: If you’re planning to use your garage door very often, you might want to consider upgrades like heavier cables or double duty spring systems so your door system has the greatest lifespan possible.
  • Safety needs: If you have family members, pets, or workers who will be frequently interacting with or moving around the door, you may want to inquire about a door with additional strength and safety features.
  • Insulation: If your garage door is next to a living space or if you’ll be working in the garage, look into an insulated door to keep you comfortable all year around.
  • Price: Garage door costs can range depending on the material and size of the project, so it helps to know your budget beforehand.

When it comes to making a big change, the thing that stops most people is the concern that they won’t like the end product because they’re not sure what to expect. Because of this, many people shy away from truly taking a dive. Your home may look gorgeous with an ornate traditional wooden door, but you choose a more conservative option just in case. We’d never want you to purchase a garage door you’re uncomfortable with, but we do want you to know you have more options than you think!

It’s hard to make a decision when you can’t see how a particular garage door will look on your home. That’s why our online DoorView DesignCenter will allow you to upload a picture of your house and see how dozens of different doors would look on it.
