Before: Aging Wood Garage Door with Structural Issues

This Dana Point homeowner had an old wooden two-car garage door with a broken spring and other issues, such as damaged hinges and worn-out garage door sections. Due to its age and condition, repairs were not a long-term solution. The homeowner wanted a full wood replacement but was open to alternatives that maintained a similar aesthetic while improving durability.

After

Challenge: Finding a Durable, Low-Maintenance Alternative

The existing wood door had multiple structural and functional issues:

  • A broken spring prevented it from fully opening.
  • The door sections had visible damage.
  • Wooden doors require frequent maintenance, such as repainting and refinishing.
  • Traditional wood doors are prone to splitting, warping, and absorbing moisture over time.
  • The homeowner needed a long-term solution that maintained the look of a wood door but with better longevity and less maintenance.

Solution: Installing a Faux Wood Overlay Garage Door

After discussing options with the homeowner, we determined that an Amarr Carriage Court steel door with a wood composite overlay was the best choice. This door closely resembled the aesthetic of a real wood door while offering superior durability.

Key details of the installation included:

✅ New Door Installed: Amarr Carriage Court in white with a Bradberry panel design and six light arch windows.
✅ Material Upgrade: Instead of full wood, the homeowner opted for a steel-based door with a composite overlay, which resists warping, splitting, and water damage.
✅ Reduced Maintenance: The new door features a lifetime paint warranty, eliminating the need for frequent repainting.
✅ Enhanced Functionality: A LiftMaster 87504 opener was installed for smooth and reliable operation.
✅ Consistency in Design: While the homeowner kept two other wood doors, this door maintained the overall look while providing modern benefits.

By switching to a steel-based composite overlay door, the homeowner achieved the best of both worlds: a beautiful, classic carriage-style garage door without the upkeep and structural concerns of traditional wood. This upgrade ensures long-term durability, easier maintenance, and improved daily functionality.
