Steel, Aluminum, Wood, and Composite

Steel is durable and low-maintenance, aluminum resists rust, real wood offers warmth at higher upkeep, and composite mimics wood with less maintenance.

Insulation and R-Value

For attached garages or work spaces, an insulated door with a higher R-value helps moderate temperature and can reduce noise from the street.

The garage door is often the largest feature on a home's facade. Panel style, windows, and color all shape curb appeal and resale value.
