🔧 Before – Worn Wood and High Maintenance Garage Door

This Dana Point homeowner had an older custom wood garage door that had seen better days. It had been painted gray at some point, but the color had faded due to heavy sun exposure. Maintaining the door had become a burden, with constant upkeep and repainting needed to keep it looking presentable.

We had done repairs for this customer in the past, and after recently installing a new door for her brother-in-law, she called us again—this time with a broken spring. While the service call was for a repair, the conversation quickly turned toward replacement due to the ongoing maintenance challenges.

After

🔍 Challenge – Replace Without Losing Charm

The customer was looking for something simple, durable, and low maintenance. She wanted to move away from wood but didn’t want to sacrifice style or natural light. It was important that the new door have a clean, classic look, provide insulation, and let in light without compromising privacy.

To help in the meantime, we provided a temporary spring repair at no extra charge so she could continue using her garage until the new door arrived.

✅ Solution – A Stylish & Durable Brown Garage Door

We installed a CHI Model 5951 long panel stamped carriage door in brown, a rich color that gave the home an updated and polished appearance. The door featured:

  • Steel front with vinyl back insulation for durability and energy efficiency

  • Obscure Madison glass windows to bring in natural light while maintaining privacy

  • Brown inside-mounted doorstop for a cohesive look

To complete the upgrade, we installed a LiftMaster 87504 belt drive opener featuring:

  • Battery backup

  • Built-in camera

  • LED lighting

  • MyQ app connectivity

  • Two transmitters for added convenience

She also opted for a LiftMaster 387LM universal keyless entry, giving her easy access without needing a remote.


This Dana Point project transformed a worn, high-maintenance garage door into a stylish, low-upkeep solution. The rich brown finish, smart opener features, and privacy windows all contribute to an upgrade that’s both functional and beautiful—just what this homeowner needed.
