Materials

Choosing a material is as simple as choosing an installer. Most garage door installers carry specific brands and materials exclusive to those brands. Here are a few materials that can be used in garage door construction:

Wood- A classic material that provides an elegant and easy to install garage door material.

Wood Composite - Unlike wood, these materials use wood flour and resins to create a material that lasts a lifetime, and have the same properties as wood.

Steel - A solid and sturdy material. Use this when high winds could damage garage doors.

Vinyl - Long lasting and low maintenance, vinyl garage doors are an affordable and stylish choice.

Fiberglass - Similar to vinyl in its durability, fiberglass garage doors can be stained to mimic rich wood.

Manufacturers

Choosing a garage door manufacturer can help you to narrow down the field of prospective garage door installers. Companies like Amarr, Clopay, Martin and Precision are some of the few of the many garage door manufacturers that are used in various locations around North America. Most garage door installers have specific brands that they install. Many garage door installers are licensed dealers and can carry job site specific warranties on materials and labor.

Automatic Openers

Many considerations must be made before installing an electric garage door opener. Does the garage have a bedroom above it? Does power remain consistent in the area? Do you want a belt, chain or shaft drive? Is the garage attached to the house? Call a qualified company representative to visit your garage and assess the details that are needed for your new garage door opener.
