Door styles
- Roll-up (sectional): panels roll up along overhead tracks, usually with an opener.
- Swing-up: a single panel tilts up and lies flat under the ceiling; needs clear space in front.
- Swing-out: two carriage-style doors open outward; needs room on the driveway.
- Side-sliding: slides along the inside wall; needs side clearance.
Materials
- Steel: tough, affordable and low maintenance.
- Wood: attractive but needs regular finishing in our wet climate.
- Aluminum: light and corrosion-resistant; some styles are expensive.
- Fiberglass: strong, light and durable; usually higher cost.
Which one do you need?
It depends on the space inside the garage, how you use it and the look of the house. We measure the opening, ceiling height and side room, then give you options and prices. We also check the lock on the garage-to-house door, which is often overlooked. See deadbolt installation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you also install openers?
Ask when you call so we can confirm which opener models we supply and fit.
How can I secure my garage better?
Keep the opener remote out of the car overnight, fit a deadbolt on the garage-to-house door and add a lock to any side door.
