Installing a wood garage door can give your garage a much more desirable look than traditional steel doors and offers a number of attractive benefits. If you’re trying to decide which route to go, consider the pros and cons that come with each wood garage door option and make your decision based on how you feel about the outcome. Springs Garage Doors is always here to support you with helpful advice and tips that will make your wood garage door installation go as smoothly as possible.

BENEFITS OF WOOD Garage DoorS

If you choose to install a wood garage door for your home, you’ll have the opportunity to make your garage stand out as well as enjoy some of the benefits of wood over a traditional steel door. If you’re trying to achieve a specific, luxurious look, a wood garage door may be the right choice for you. Benefits include:

• Stylish and elegant. Wood doors can offer a rustic, sturdy appearance that steel cannot. Homes that have brick or stone façades can instantly look much more luxurious with a wood garage door. You can also choose to adorn your garage door with hardware that enhances the appearance and creates a formal, tidy look.
• Improves curb appeal. As soon as you pull into your driveway, the view of your wood garage door will be very apparent. Manicured lawns with trimmed trees, stone driveways, and wood garage doors have drastically increased curb appeal, and the wood garage door ties all of it in for a picture-perfect curb view.
• Increased property value. The value of your home could be positively impacted by a wood garage door installation. The more custom and enhanced your home appears, and the more it strays from standard builder-grade materials, the higher the value it will receive when it’s time to sell.
• Durable and long-lasting.  While wood garage door repair is sometimes necessary, strong wood doors have impressive longevity and can handle the lumps and bumps that life throws at them. While steel doors can easily be dented by hail, rogue basketballs, and other small mishaps, a wood garage door will simply shrug it off and continue to perform.

Disadvantages of installing A Wood garage door:

There are a few disadvantages of wood garage door installation, though they may seem small in comparison to the list of benefits. However, it’s always important to consider your purchase from all angles before making your decision. The disadvantages of wood garage door installation include:

• Weight. Wood garage doors are heavy, and you’ll definitely need an automatic opener to operate them. This may require a more expensive opener that can handle the additional load but this isn’t usually a large problem for most homeowners.
• Maintenance. While steel garage doors can be painted and left alone, a wood garage door needs to be stripped, stained, sealed, and treated every few years to ensure that the wood remains protected from the elements. Wood garage door repair and maintenance may be unavoidable, but it also means that you’ll always have a new-looking door!
• Cost. Steel garage doors are fairly inexpensive due to their construction, while wood garage doors are higher on the price list. If cost is a concern, a wood garage door may be more of a want than a need, but if your goal is to enhance the look of your home, it’s still a luxurious way to go.
