Choosing the right door style for your home
A beautiful set of garage doors can really boost the curb appeal of a home. There’s no “right answer” for the best type of door because the color, style, and size of your home and garage will all play a role in helping you select new doors that make you smile when you turn into the driveway. Because we understand the importance of garage doors to your home, the team at Cal’s Garage Doors is happy to explain a few of the most common styles and tops manufacturers that we carry so you can get inspired to find the perfect doors for your own property.
Modern garage door styles and materials
When it comes to new garage doors, there are about four basic styles to choose from: doors that swing outwards, those that swing up, those that roll up, or doors that slide to one side. All these styles can be made from a wide variety of different materials, including wood and aluminum, although at Cal’s Garage Doors, we typically recommend durable and lightweight aluminum to our customers.
Throughout the Bay Area, by far the most popular option for garage doors San Jose, CA, is the sectional roll-up garage door style in a variety of materials and colors. For a distinctive look, or to prevent the door from impacting ceiling clearance, then swing out carriage house doors are an excellent option.
We understand how important it is for our clients to choose doors that closely match the architectural style of their home. For example, if you own a Craftsman bungalow, then a swing-out door could be the perfect match, since they closely resemble the types of garage doors found in early Craftsman homes. Even if real swing-out doors aren’t a practical option for your space, then you can opt for a traditional roll-up sectional garage door that’s made to resemble a swing-out door right down to the faux strap hinges on the sides.
Leading garage door brands you’ll find in our showroom
Cal’s Garage Doors strives to offer only the best products on the market today. For example, we’re proud to be a Carriage House and Amarr garage door retailer. Both Carriage House garage doors and Amarr garage doors are available in traditional and contemporary styling. Other features, such as panels and trim, can be customized to create the unique look that you want for your home, like doors featuring glass paneling, shatterproof glass, or frosted plastic.
Of course, to go along with your new garage doors, you are going to need a garage door opener as well, which is why we are proud to carry the famous LiftMaster Professional line of garage door openers. We’ll set up a wireless door opener for multiple bays and multiple cars in order to make it convenient for everyone in the family.
