Your garage door needs to work for your needs and match your style. Picking your garage doors can feel daunting because they are such a large portion of the look and function of your home. Here are a few tips to help you pick out the perfect residential garage doors for you and your family:

• Style – This will most likely be the most important part of your residential garage doors. You want your doors to fit your style and add to the aesthetics of your home.

• Material – Once you know the style of your garage doors, it is time to decide on the material you want your doors to be made of. There are many options, and each option has its pros and cons. The most common garage door material is steel. Steel requires very little maintenance and offers a great R-Value. Another popular door material is wood. Wood is often picked because of its look. Wood is very attractive, but requires more maintenance than other materials.
