White Long Panel Carriage Style Garage Door with Madison Windows: A Stylish Upgrade in Laguna Niguel, CA

one piece yellow wood garage door

Before

This Laguna Niguel home originally featured a one-piece flip-up wooden garage door, a classic California design from the 1980s. While iconic, this outdated door came with significant drawbacks. The arc of the door required vehicles to park 4 feet away, limiting driveway space. Non-insulated and prone to absorbing water, these heavy wooden doors often strained the motor, creating reliability issues. Frequent repainting was necessary to maintain its appearance, and the outdated design offered minimal clearance, losing valuable headroom. Additionally, replacement parts were increasingly difficult to source.

After

The Challenge

The homeowners sought a modern garage door solution that addressed both functional and aesthetic concerns. They wanted to eliminate the inefficiencies of their old door while enhancing curb appeal. The goal was to replace the heavy, maintenance-intensive flip-up door with a design that provided improved insulation, better clearance, and a timeless look that complemented their home’s architecture.

Our Solution

We installed a CHI Model 5951, a steel-front, vinyl-back insulated garage door crafted with durable 25-gauge steel. The new door features a long panel stamped carriage design, which delivers a charming cottage or barnhouse aesthetic. The Madison vertical divided light windows add character and allow natural light into the garage while maintaining privacy.

The door’s vinyl-backed insulation provides mid-level insulation to improve the garage's temperature control and energy efficiency. Compared to the previous one-piece design, this roll-up door restored valuable clearance, increasing headroom by 7 inches and eliminating parking restrictions in the driveway. Its white color with crisp, clean lines transforms the garage’s appearance, adding definition and making the door a striking focal point.

We paired the door with a belt drive system to ensure quiet and reliable operation, enhancing its functionality and longevity. This project modernized the garage and elevated the home’s curb appeal with a fresh, contemporary look.
