If you’re considering a new garage door, you probably have a lot of questions. Who better to ask about a new garage door than an expert who handles them every day? Here are some of the questions that homeowners ask their garage door dealers most often.

Common Questions

Should I install a metal garage door or a wooden door?

Each garage door material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Metal garage doors tend to be low-maintenance. They are more durable than wooden doors. Wooden doors offer a more natural, attractive look. No matter which material you select, you can choose a style to match the design of your home.

Should I install an insulated or non-insulated garage door?

The decision of whether to insulate your garage door depends on several factors.

• Do you have a detached garage, or is the garage attached to your home?
• Controlled interior garage temperature? Is the garage connected to your HVAC system?
• Is there a bedroom or another room above the garage?

You should select an insulated door if you use your garage for more than storing your car. You should also install an insulated door if you have a room above your garage.

How long will a garage door last?

The lifespan of your garage door depends on the quality of its materials and whether the door receives appropriate care. A quality garage door can last up to 20 years with proper upkeep and maintenance.

Should I consider windows for your garage door?

Windows can be a great addition to your garage. They allow for natural light and give your garage door a more attractive appearance. However, it may be best to avoid windows if you have concerns about privacy and security.
