The Latest Garage Door Trends

Posted on

Are you planning on installing a new garage door in 2017? You don’t want an outdated door. As you head into the new year, it can be helpful to figure out what’s in (and what will never go out of style)! Here are three garage door trends to consider:

Modern Materials

While it’s true that traditional steel garage doors never go out of style, they typically don’t draw much attention to themselves. If you’re hoping to make a statement in 2017, consider a contemporary garage door made of aluminum and glass. If your home has a modern look to it, this upgrade will certainly add to its aesthetic appeal.

Faux Wood

Doors with the look of wood but less upkeep are still popular. Steel garage doors can be finished to look like wood for the aesthetic you want without the cost or maintenance requirements.

Bold Colors

Some 2016 trends are continuing this year, such as using bold colors on to create a more vibrant space. Classic white garage doors can be nice for certain homes, but don’t be afraid to go brighter and bolder in 2017!

Do I Need Garage Door Repair?

A garage door that isn’t working properly is not only frustrating but can also leave your home more vulnerable. Timely repair (or, if necessary, replacement) is needed.

What Is Wrong with Your Garage Door?

Do I need garage door repair? If you’ve been asking yourself that, the answer is most likely yes! Common garage door problems include:

  • Door not closing or only closing partially
  • Door not opening or only opening partially
  • Loud grinding or humming noise during operation
  • Motor running but door not operating
  • Door can be opened without using the opener or keypad
  • Broken glass (on one or more of the door’s windows)
  • Corrosion (painting over the exposed metal is not a good permanent solution!)
  • Sagging, warped or cracked panels (especially common in older wood doors)
  • More frequent and/or increasingly expensive repairs

These problems are generally a result of:

  • A faulty opener
  • An opener that is low on batteries
  • A broken part (spring, cable, track, etc.)
  • Severe weather
  • Old age

Is your garage door experiencing any of the aforementioned issues—or another problem altogether? If it is or if you’re asking “what is wrong with my garage door?” you may need professional service!
