Carriage house garage doors are a popular choice for homeowners looking to give their home an old-world feel. These garage doors are made from wood or metal and feature a classic design that is reminiscent of a carriage house. The most common type of carriage house garage door is the swing-up style, which features two doors that swing up and out when opened. They are usually painted white or off-white and have decorative hardware, such as wrought iron handles and hinges. They can also be customized with different colors and finishes to match the home’s exterior. Carriage house garage doors are a great way to increase curb appeal and add value to a home. They are much more secure than traditional garage doors and are less vulnerable to break-ins and weather damage. They are also energy efficient and quieter than other types of garage doors. For those looking for an elegant, classic look to their home, carriage house garage doors are the perfect solution.
A garage door tune-up is a preventative maintenance routine that ensures the door operates safely and smoothly. It may involve inspecting, tightening, and adjusting all hardware, lubricating moving parts, checking the door balance, and inspecting the door's sealing.
We recommend that you do not attempt to do any maintenance or repairs on your own. It can be dangerous to attempt this without proper knowledge and experience, so we strongly urge you to leave everything to our experienced and trained professionals. We do suggest that you lubricate all moving parts (particularly the hinges) yourself every few months.
Some garage doors can simply be repaired while others need to be completely replaced. Garage door repairs on older garage doors often cost less than installing new ones. The best way to determine if you need a garage door repaired or replaced is to schedule an annual preventative maintenance appointment.
