Wood has always been a first-rate choice for garage doors, and you can see why: Properly maintained, it boasts a refined, timeless appearance that always fits in, no matter the architectural context. Indeed, aesthetics are important, but so is your bottom line, and believe it or not, garage door replacement pays you back! According to Remodeling magazine, you can recoup over three-quarters of what you spend on the project, depending on your region.

If there’s a downside to wood, it’s the ongoing upkeep needed for the material to look and perform its best. For the look of wood without as much maintenance, consider fiberglass. Exceptionally durable, thanks to its internal steel construction, the Impression Collection® from Overhead Door mimics real wood all the way down to its artfully molded grain. Plus, built-in insulation helps control costly heat loss and gain, even while ensuring quiet operation.

Sleek and sophisticated, with inset windows that bring light into the normally dark garage interior, aluminum-frame doors are a striking complement to contemporary residences. Choose a clear-anodized finish or among hundreds of powder-coated colors; Overhead Door includes both in its Modern Aluminum Collection.
