Faux Wood

In our experience, the most popular look for a garage door is wood, it is beautiful and always trendy. Unfortunately, wood garage doors are on the more expensive end of the spectrum and require regular maintenance. A less expensive alternative is faux wood.

Contemporary Windows

This year, many homeowners are hoping to bring natural light to their garages with the inclusion of windows.
