Not only can a new garage door provide safe, secure, and easy access to your garage, but it also can renew and refresh your property’s overall appearance.
Garage doors are made from steel, wood and wood composites, fiberglass, vinyl, and aluminum. Though each of these has its benefits, steel and wood doors are by far the most common.
Wood garage doors are a classic because of its natural beauty, availability, and easy customization. But it just doesn’t last as long as other types and requires fairly consistent care. Wood Garage doors are typically made of moisture-resistant cedar, redwood or cypress and offers the most flexibility for custom designs.
Steel garage doors have become very popular because they’re strong, somewhat inexpensive, and low maintenance. Some steel garage doors do a nice job of imitating the look of wood. They offer a wide range of color and insulation options. 
Aluminum garage door: Rust-resistant aluminum is ideal for humid, caustic environments. Replace solid panels with frosted glass for a modern look.
Composite Wood Garage Doors are durable, low-maintenance and looks like real wood, it eliminates many of the drawbacks of natural wooden doors. It’s moisture-resistant, so it won’t rot, split, shrink, separate or crack. It can be insulated, and painted or stained.
Unless you’re an experienced Garage door installer, the work required to install a garage door requires quite a few carpentry tools and skills, and the heavy-duty springs can be dangerous to work with. The job will probably take you a little more than a day, whereas a professional garage door installer can usually do it in a few hours.
