Design Once you've settled on a garage door type, the next step is deciding on a design. A basic garage door consists of flat, windowless panels, and is your most budget-friendly choice. From there you can add raised panels, window glass, and even choose from more elaborate designs. Carriage house doors, for example, are all the rage lately and imitate the large swinging doors that used to be found on, you guessed it, carriage houses and barns before the days of automobiles; though modern versions open up, like traditional sectional garage doors in Denver.

Materials Your choice of material when it comes to your garage door is a mixture of style and function. Wood doors are classy, expensive, heavy, insulate well, and are probably the best looking doors around. Pressed, or composite, wood doors are the cheapest, though their low price tag is due to their relative fragility compared to other materials. For most homeowners in the Mile High City, steel is the optimal material for a garage door. It's economical, tough, lightweight, can be purchased in different gauges (or thickness), and provides a stout barrier against intruders for security purposes (as well as from basketballs hurled by kids who think they're Carmelo Anthony, but need to work on their jump shot). Vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum are other materials that are growing in popularity, and that might be worth a look, as well.
