Around the metro, a new garage door usually starts with a question from the neighborhood rather than the garage: what will the HOA allow? After that it's about the house, the heat and humidity, and whether anyone lives in the room above the garage. Measuring is free, and so is the estimate that follows.
Most subdivisions and nearly every townhome community around the metro have rules on exterior changes, and garage doors are usually covered: style, color, sometimes even the window pattern. Many require approval before the new door goes up. Bring the guidelines, or tell us the community, and the door is chosen to fit them before anything is ordered. Full-view glass doors usually go through the same review; our glass garage doors page covers the frame and glass choices. For real wood or the carriage-house look, our wood and carriage garage doors page goes into both.
If the HOA wants a sample or a spec sheet with the application, that's provided, and the order waits until the approval is in hand.
A room built over the garage feels every bit of the heat that builds up below it in summer. A door with an insulating core between its steel faces keeps the garage noticeably cooler and makes the room above it easier to live in, even through the long humid stretch of July and August. It also runs far quieter than a thin single-layer door, which whoever is in that room will notice.
New weatherstripping and a fresh bottom seal go in with it, so the insulation isn't undone by gaps around the edges.
Real wood doors swell in the humidity, need paint often, and don't love the rain. Steel and composite doors with a woodgrain finish give the warm look that suits a lot of brick-front houses and intown bungalows, without the upkeep. On a house where the style calls for it, carriage details and decorative hardware finish the look.
For a townhome with a narrow door, a simple panel in the community's approved color is usually the answer, and a quiet one matters when the neighbors are a wall away.
Start to finish, in order.
Plenty of homes from the nineties have two single doors side by side. They're usually replaced as a matched pair so they look and run alike. Turning two singles into one wide door means taking out the post between them, which is a framing job; if that's what you want, it's talked through at the measure before anything else is planned.
Each door gets its own springs sized to it, and both are balanced and tested before we leave.
Townhome garages share walls, so the new door's hardware is chosen to run quietly, and the install is planned to keep the lane clear for the neighbors. Narrow doors get tracks and springs sized for their width and weight, and the finish matches whatever the community has approved for the row, so the new door doesn't stand out for the wrong reasons.
A row of windows in the top section brings daylight into a garage that doubles as a workshop or a gym, and textured glass keeps it private from the street. Many HOAs specify the window pattern, and on some townhome rows the rule is no windows at all. Either way, windows stay out of the lower sections.
Door colors look very different on a small chip than across a whole garage front, especially next to red brick. The samples are held up against the house outside, in daylight, so the choice is made on what you'll actually see from the street. If the HOA limits the palette, the options shown are the ones it allows.
Subdivision homes in Roswell, Alpharetta and Marietta, townhome communities in Smyrna and Sandy Springs, and intown houses around Decatur. Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Kennesaw and Duluth too.
We measure at the house, wherever that is.
Approved before ordered. Where there's an HOA, its rules come first.
Measured at the house. A photo is a start, not a measurement.
Springs wound for this door. After it's up and weighed.
Old door gone. Taken away the same visit.
That's common here. The door is chosen within the guidelines, a spec sheet or sample is provided if the HOA wants one, and nothing is ordered until approval comes through.
For a garage with a bonus room above it or rooms beside it, yes. It keeps the heat down and the noise too.
Yes. Steel and composite woodgrain doors look the part and don't swell or rot in the humidity.
It means removing the post between them, which is a framing job. It's discussed at the measure; most people replace the two singles as a matched pair.
Not always. The opener is looked over at the measure; if it's old, has no safety eyes or has been straining, replacing it at the same time is usually the better plan.
Installation itself is a single visit once the door arrives. The wait before that depends on the door and on any HOA approval.
No. It's free, the estimate is written, and nothing is ordered until you decide.
Give us a call or send the form with the community name and the look you're after; mention the HOA if there is one. Samples come to the measure.
Free estimate from intown out to the northern suburbs.
Explain what the door is doing and we'll say, honestly, whether today is necessary. Free estimate wherever you are.
