Question 1

Can I use the existing tracks from my old garage door for my new replacement door?

Does my garage door opener need to be replaced when I install a new garage door?

Question 5

How Does Steel Compare to Other Materials?

Accepted Answer

The benefits of steel overhead doors stand up to those of other popular materials. Vinyl doors, for example, are more expensive than steel and are more likely to bend and warp. They don’t hold up as well in extreme hot and cold climates and are less environmentally-friendly than steel. Wooden garage doors, on the other hand, are environmentally friendly but sacrifice strength. Though wooden doors can look beautiful, they don’t withstand the elements as well as steel. Even aluminum garage doors aren’t as strong as steel. Choosing aluminum over steel means less energy efficiency and less insulation.

Question 6

How Much Does a Steel Garage Door Cost?

Question 8

What Materials Do You Use for Your Carriage Doors?

Accepted Answer

At Pynacker Doors, we construct our carriage garage doors from steel. Steel has numerous benefits, including better durability in harsh climates and diverse design options. We know that some homeowners may prefer the look of natural wood. However, wooden garage doors don’t tend to hold up as well in rainy climates and are poorly insulated. Don’t worry, though, your carriage style garage doors can still maintain the look of real wood. Faux wood finishes are a popular option and give your overhead door the wooden look you envision. For other design options, the experts at Pynacker Doors will be happy to brainstorm with you. We want you to have the perfect garage doors that provide you curb appeal, match the theme of your home, and function well.
