Which Garage Door Styles Are Right for You?

When picking out your new garage door, it’s important to consider which garage door styles appeal most to you, as well as which ones fit well with the pre-existing aesthetic of your home. There are a lot of garage door styles to choose from, but below are some recommendations depending on your stylistic preferences.

  • Do you prefer a vintage look? Try looking at a Clopay carriage-house style door. While the original carriage-house style is a little outdated, the Clopay version combines modern convenience with old aesthetics.
  • What about modern? Modern doors are commonly made with aluminum or steel, with decorative glass panels. More contemporary-style houses will be complemented very well by a sleek, modern design for their garage door.
  • Maybe rustic wood? Wooden garage doors can give any house a touch of classic charm. But be careful — natural wooden doors require a good amount of maintenance and upkeep in order to keep them functioning and looking nice. Exposure to the elements over long periods of time can cause the material to deteriorate if it is not carefully maintained. If you have your heart set on the natural wood look, but you don’t have the time to take care of real wood, you might consider composite wood, which looks and feels like wood, but is far more durable and comes with much lower maintenance needs.
