Material
The material of your garage door will not only determine its lifespan, but the amount of maintenance it will require. Doors typically come in steel, wood and specialty materials such as mixed finishes for a unique look. Discover which material is best for your needs by checking out our blog that specifically addresses the pros and cons of each material.

Energy Efficiency
Your garage door is used on a daily basis, which is why it’s important to take energy efficiency into consideration. An energy efficient door will not only save you money, but helps to maintain a comfortable temperature in your garage with proper insulation.

Panel Design
Garage door panels come in a variety of textures, grains and styles so it’s easy and cost-effective to make your garage door fit in with your home’s aesthetics. We offer simulated wood, specialty, and steel options.

Construction
The construction of a door will determine its durability and resistance to environmental factors. Single-layer, double-layer and triple-layer doors all come with their own unique advantages. Single-layer doors are the most economical of the three, while triple-layer is the most expensive but also the hardiest.
