Garage door replacement
Want the carriage house look on your new garage door?
A carriage house door is a steel sectional door styled to look like swinging barn-style doors, with decorative hardware and often arched or stacked windows. It works like any sectional door, so it can be insulated too.

Is this what you're seeing?
You like the old carriage house look but want a door that rolls up and has an opener.
You want arched windows, handles and hinges for curb appeal.
You are choosing between a flat panel door and a carriage style.
You want to know whether a carriage-style door can be insulated and what the wait is.
What's going on
The carriage look is added to a normal sectional door: panels stamped to look like boards, with strap hinges and handles on the front and, often, windows in an arch or a row. Underneath it runs on the same track, springs and opener as any other door. See custom carriage-style garage doors.
Our install records show carriage-style doors, mostly fully insulated where the record says, with windows in most and a range of colors. One record notes that a carriage-style door takes 6 to 8 weeks to arrive, which is a special-order wait to plan around.
What to do right now
Do
Pick your color and window style early. Special-order doors take longer than stock doors.
Check your HOA’s rules on style and color if you have one.
Measure your opening, headroom and side room so the door can be quoted properly.
Don't
Don’t order a carriage door online without checking it fits your headroom and track.
Don’t assume the hardware is functional. On most carriage doors it is decorative.
