Whether you are replacing an old garage door or installing one for the first time, you may be overwhelmed by choice when it comes to finding a new garage door. Here are a few things to consider to make it as easy as possible to select your new garage door.

Style

From the traditional to the modern, the style of garage door you want should ideally reflect a few different things:

• Your personal preference
• The aesthetic of the house and what would look best with it
• Your budget, as some styles may be more expensive
• The requirements for the style, such as how much maintenance the door requires

Material

Some styles can only be done with certain materials, so if you’ve chosen one of those, then you may have to skip this part entirely. In other cases, you have a choice between what material you’d like your garage door to be made of. The most common materials are:

• Wood, which is considered sophisticated, rustic, and reliable
• Steel, which is attractive, low-maintenance, and modern
• Aluminum, which is rust-proof and can come in a variety of colors
• Fiberglass, which is breakable but not able to be dented or cracked as easily
• Vinyl, which is a durable, “kid-proof” choice

Budget

Of course, one big thing to consider is how much money you will spend. Some material and style choices can be more expensive than others. Make the choice that’s best for you.
