Popular Garage Doors
* Aluminum is resistant to rust and is an ideal material in caustic environments.
* Steel garage doors offer a wide range of color, styles, and insulation.
* Wood garage doors are classic; they are typically made from treated cedar or cypress. Although they are beautiful and offer wonderful design potential, they do take a lot of maintenance.
Is an Insulated Door a Good Choice?
In the greater Chicago area, the climate ranges from sub-zero temperatures in the winter to triple-digit temperatures in the summer. If your garage is attached to your home, pay a little extra for an insulated replacement door, especially if the garage has a Granny flat above it. An insulated door helps to reduce the cost of heating and cooling and helps to reduce noise as well.
Avoid DIY Installation
A garage door replacement should be installed by professionals; a DIY installation can lead to unnecessary repairs and, possibly serious injury. A typical garage door in Hyde Park consists of many parts that all must work together. Even the incorrect installation of a small part such as a hinge can easily cause door failure.
