How to pick the best Garage Door for 
your home
It’s no secret that choosing a new garage door can be too difficult. The 
process can even feel quite overwhelming, simply because there are so 
many styles and types to choose from. Additionally, there are other 
factors to consider such as choice of materials and price.
The care in planning is certainly worth it, however, studies shows that the 
right choice in a new garage door provides one of the highest returns on 
investment you can make for your home. That’s because of the enormous 
curb appeal improvement you gain when you choose a garage door that 
complements your home’s architectural design. Your garage door 
provides an opportunity to make a positive, memorable first impression.
1. Decide on the material
• When researching your options, there are lot to think 
about: durability, maintenance, design, cost. “Wood doors 
can take more abuse than steel ones, which show dings 
and dents, and can even be pierced and start to rust “The 
most commonly used wood is cedar, but you can get 
anything you want if you have the budget, even mahogany. 
The idea is to blend it into the facade – white trim and a 
white door is a very old-fashioned look. With 
contemporary homes, you can go crazy with materials, 
like glass doors and interesting wood designs.”
1. Aluminum
*Many styles, stock colors and designs
*Low to no maintenance
*Rustproof, which makes it a good choice for salty or humid environments
*The light weight of the material makes it less taxing on the operating mechanism, door 
openers and tracks, not to mention easier to operate manually
*Less durable than steel; dents easily
2. Steel
*Astonishing variety of styles, stock colors and finishes
*Sturdier than aluminum
*Can rust if scratched or dented
 
3. Wood
*The traditionalist’s choice; a range of options for custom design
*Veneers or overlays offer the look of wood at a lower cost
*Requires regular maintenance (painting or staining)
 
2. Determine the style that best 
suits your home
• Choose a door that complements your architecture. “On a 
traditional house, you might want the door to disappear or 
blend in. But if your home is modern, you can celebrate 
that, perhaps by choosing all glass or a unique design. 
Below are general guidelines on door styles and features 
that will match your house type.
1. Victorian/georgian/colonial
*Panelled wood (or lookalikes)
*Coach house or stable look
*Divided-light windows, ideally coordinated with house windows
*Decorative hardware, like iron hinges or handles
 
2) Arts & crafts/edwardian
*Raised panels or sections
*Arch-top or divided-light windows to match or complement your home’s windows (but 
nothing too fussy looking)
3) Contemporary/modern
This style offers the most design freedom – choose materials and details that make a 
statement
Options to consider: stained wood, V-ribbed or horizontal banding, frosted or pebbled glass
