Garage Doors: 10 Garage Makeovers

Garage Doors Grow Up

Get a quick garage makeover for any style house. The range of garage door styles—from traditional to cottage to contemporary—makes it easy to find an attractive, compatible look. Selecting appropriately styled residential garage doors is particularly important when an attached garage faces forward, making it an integral part of your home's facade. With the trend of three-car garages, the garage door can cover a significant percentage of a house's front expanse.

Buying Tip: For energy savings and security, look for steel garage doors with sandwich construction. This means garage doors are constructed with 1-3/8-2 inches of polystyrene or polyurethane insulation between steel skins.
