The '80s Called - They Want Their Garage Doors Back!

The '80s were a great time. The music was amazing, technology was evolving, and the hair styles were wild. Muscle cars ruled the streets, and our Walkman’s were blasting Hip-Hop. Back in the 80’s, you had the chance to really express yourself... Everywhere but your garage door, because there were hardly any styles available.

Evolution Of The Garage Door

Years ago, garage doors stood for one purpose: Keeping your car covered. There weren’t many choices to choose from, so most people opted to go for the original single-panel garage door. They were functional, but not stylish. They worked, but they weren’t going to wow anyone visiting your house.

But now, things have changed. Many people enter their houses through their garage doors, and they’re often the first thing people see when they drive by.

An upgraded garage door can completely change the perception of your house, and increase the value almost instantly.

In fact, more often than not, having an old garage door is hurting your house's curb appeal!

So whether you prefer a classic carriage house design or want to create a modern look that is all your own - the choices are truly endless.

Time For An Upgrade?

Like anything in life, your garage door becomes obsolete after time. An old garage door not only looks out of place in a nice neighborhood, but by neglecting to upgrade it, you’re doing your house a disservice. You simply can’t quantify how much nicer your house looks with one of the new trending garage doors.

You now have countless garage door options to choose from, so there’s no excuse to not pick your favorite. Besides, it’s not the 80’s anymore, remember? Check out some of our most popular designs below.

Carriage House

An early classic with a modern twist, the carriage house style doors combine a rustic look with the convenience of an overhead garage. It’s no secret this style is becoming increasingly popular. The carriage house door adds a distinct look to your house that is sure to demand respect from your peers.

Like your traditional garage door, carriage house garage doors are available in a variety of materials, including vinyl, wood, wood composite, and steel. Color options range from a classic white finish to a wood stain. The addition of hardware on the exterior of the door, such as door pulls or strap hinges, can help personalize the look another step further. The carriage house is meant to replicate a traditional style of door, but there are plenty of ways to customize the design and make your dream door perfect for your home.

Full View/Glass Doors

A very modern, 21st century look. It goes without saying that a glass garage door can drastically change the appearance of your home. This popular design has been showing up more often as of late, and the clean, minimalist design is sure to turn your neighbors heads.

A glass garage door would pair well with a modern home. The sleek design and clean lines make this material ideal for homes where the architect's approach is crisp and angular, and works well for those looking to give their house some extra spark.

Mosaic Windows

For those looking to truly wow their guests and the neighbors, the mosaic window builds off the popularity of the glass door. You no longer have to settle for the standard divided glass section across the top of your door, you can now create a mosaic pattern with individual panes of glass.

The options for this door help emphasize the overall design of the material used and the style of the door. You can arrange the windows for symmetry or stagger them throughout for a unique pattern. The possibilities for design, paired with the different types of glass seem endless. You can choose from opaque, seeded, or standard clear glass, just to name a few.

Custom Wood Doors

Wood doors offer a unique beauty that can’t be duplicated. The ability to customize a good door puts you in full control of choosing a door that is entirely of your making. The variety of wood species, from mahogany and oak to cedar and redwood, allow you to choose the wood tone that best enhances your home’s exterior.

Unique Colors

In the past, garage doors were mainly a classic white or an almond. As we’ve said though, things have changed over time, and people are now opting for more unique colors for their garage doors. The color of your choice can add a lot of pop and character to your home. Many have been opting to match their door color with their front door, shutters, or other design elements on their home.

Recently, black has become a popular color choice for garage doors; dramatic but still not too risque. It can be matched to other elements such as window frames and shutters or stand alone as a statement piece. In fact, companies have stated that 22 percent of their 4-section Carriage House style doors are being purchased in black; second only to the classic white. Those looking to update the doors they currently have are painting their wooden garage doors black to add a bold look to their home or opting for an extremely dark stain.

Another popular color is the tried-and-true white, but it doesn’t have to be boring. You don’t have to settle for the run-of-the-mill white steel raised panel door anymore because there are more style options for doors. It’s as if each door design gives the classic white a new life. A white carriage house door looks crisp, clean, and adds a touch of understated elegance to the exterior of the home. White is timeless and will frankly never go out of style.

These days, a nice garage door is no longer just looked at as a boring necessity, it’s considered a statement piece. Upgrading your garage door instantly improves your home’s curb appeal, adds value to your home, and makes your neighbor’s do a double-take.

With so many options to choose from, it’s time to have some fun with it, and pick the garage door design that truly fits your home. A garage door is an investment in your home value—make sure you make the most of it.
