Custom Garage Doors and Wood Carriage Garage Doors
Since my garage door is oversized and an extremely important focal point of the house from the street, the choice of garage door is not being taken lightly. I am doing a good deal of research, looking for suppliers of handsome wood and unique metal garage doors. I am hearing from some manufacturers that I can order a plain metal door and have our own carpenters reface it with wood or whatever we want. They say it is no big deal. That might be the most economical route. The inspector did say that if I install a real garage door, it must be wind rated for 140 mph.
