How to Choose the Right Garage Door
May 11, 2017
Buying a garage door can be a daunting task, especially with so many options available. You might be stuck on the style, materials, cost, and even who to buy from. And if the door you have now is broken and you’re in a pinch, you might not have much time to wait for a new door to be manufactured, delivered, and installed.
Factory Direct Garage Doors has a simple guide to get you started. We’ll walk you through some of the preliminary steps of buying a new garage door, go over some of the styles and materials we offer, and get you well on your way to a beautiful new garage door. Fast. Most of our orders are completed within 7–10 days!
Style & Materials
This is perhaps the most important factor in buying a garage door. Most homes have a front-facing door that’s visible from the street, which means you want an attractive garage door that fits the aesthetic of your home. Factory Direct Garage Doors come in many styles that can add the curb appeal you’re looking for.
Sectional Garage Door
A sectional garage door is one of the most common styles. We take safety seriously, with our “finger proof” doors that are perfect for those with little ones. This style of door is wonderful because it’s easily customizable in both size and colour, and our designers are available for quick consultations.
Roll Up Garage Door
Roll up doors, or roller doors, are freestanding and offer versatility that other styles don’t because they fit into tight spaces. They come in a variety of styles, and can open manually or automatically depending on your needs.
Cedar-Look Garage Door
If you love the look of cedar, wood, and timber, a hand-painted cedar-look garage door offers the advantages of being aesthetically pleasing while requiring far less maintenance than real wood, more insulation against the elements, and far more durability.
Cost
When considering a custom-made garage door, it’s natural that a buyer would worry about the cost. If your garage door replacement is the result of a storm or damage, and insurance is going to cover it, a reputable garage door manufacturer will be happy to work with your insurance company. Be sure to call with your insurance claim information handy!
But don’t be intimidated by the cost of a custom made garage door. Factory Direct Garage Doors manufactures our doors at very reasonable prices, and we work quickly. Our technicians will visit your home for a free consultation, take measurements, and learn more about the style you’re looking for. And once we’ve determined those factors, we’ll work on a quote for you. The quote is hassle-free and no pressure.
When it comes to longevity, Factory Direct Garage Doors believes that you should have no worries at all. We offer a 10-year guarantee on our doors and work, and a lifetime warranty. That peace of mind is unparalleled when it comes to buying a garage door from anywhere else in the area. We work hard to make nothing but the very best for you, ensuring a beautiful home and peace of mind.
