Wood Garage Door Installation

A garage door does so much more than enclose your garage and help protect your cars, tools, and toys. The type of garage door you have and it’s aesthetic appearance can add exquisite curb appeal to your home and enhance its overall beauty, which is why so many Austin homeowners are choosing wood garage doors: they’re the perfect merging of fine form and function.

However, even though a wood garage door will look beautiful for every property, they may not fit your needs. So how can you tell if a wood garage door is right for you?

When To Choose A Wood Door

Wood garage doors offer a timeless aesthetic that boosts the appeal of any home. From classic carriage house doors to more modern, paneled wood doors, wood doors make a perfect addition to any residential or commercial property. The main benefits of wood doors include:

• General curb appeal. Most homeowners use their garage doors as the main entrance and exit to their homes, and if you’re going to use something daily, you want it to look good.
• Resale Value. Since the wood garage doors are universally appealing, they boost curb appeal and therefore resale value. Upgrading your garage door to wood is one of the easiest ways to boost your home’s market value.
• Durability. Wood garage doors are built with solid, strong wood that can stand up to more bumps and bruises than a traditional aluminum door. Plus, if your door is somehow damaged, you can simply replace a wood panel instead of the whole door.

When A Wood Door Might Not Work

Sadly, a beautiful wood garage door may not work for every home or commercial property. If you’re on the fence of choosing a type of garage door, here are some more things to consider:

• The Price. Wood garage doors offer a higher quality of material than typical aluminum or steel doors, which means they also come with a higher price tag. Therefore, if you’re on a budget, you may want to consider a different material.
• Regular Maintenance. To preserve the aesthetic of your wood garage door, it may require painting or refinishing every few years. It’s also a good idea to regularly lubricate the rails of your door to prevent screeching sounds or sticking.
