Your home’s exterior is a first impression of sorts. It may not seem like it, but your garage door is an important focal point on your home’s exterior! A well designed (and functional) garage door is the perfect finishing touch to great siding, shutters, and roofing; and can set you apart from other homes in your neighborhood. 

Garage doors can account for up to a third of your home’s exterior, so make that third count with a beautifully designed and functional door. From material to style to color, there are hundreds of unique combinations to choose from. At Glenn’s Garage Doors , we’ll work with you to help you choose the door that looks best and meets your budget requirements. Here’s a quick list of the three main garage door styles and which home styles they work best with. 

Contemporary

Carriage-House/Craftsman

Traditional Raised Panel/Classic

Of course, there are hundreds of variations within these three basic styles. The materials and colors you choose can make a huge difference in terms of aesthetic. Garage doors can be constructed from wood, vinyl, glass, or a combination of materials. When it comes to color, you’ll obviously want to choose something that coordinates with your home’s siding and the rest of your home’s exterior to create a seamless look. Or, make a statement with a brighter hued door! It may not seem obvious, but a garage door is a great way to show your personal style and make your home stand out. 

Regardless of the garage door style you’re looking for, when it comes to installation, you’ll want to hire someone experienced and trustworthy.

A faulty or damaged garage door is not only unsightly, but it’s also dangerous. When garage doors do not open and close properly, it’s a hazard to you and your vehicles. Old or fatigued springs and cables are often the culprit when garage doors don’t open or close properly, and repairing them is not something to put off. 

However, spring fatigue is the most common reason for faulty garage doors simply due to excessive use. Garage door springs typically last about 10,000 cycles, which averages to about 7 years if you use your garage door 4 times a day. The constant winding and unwinding of the spring causes stress, which makes failure more likely as the door gets older. That being said, don’t wait to make garage door repairs or get a new garage door replacement . The longer a fatigued garage door goes without repair or replacement, the greater the chance of an accident. Call Glenn’s Garage Doors today!
