Overlay Garage Doors

Custom Garage Doors are the perfect option for homeowners who prioritize architectural detail and curb appeal at the top of the list. As you can imagine with high-end materials, and an array of optional additions for garage door designs, complete garage door customization comes at a higher market price than Raised Panel and Stamped Carriage Style doors.

The process of choosing the right custom garage door can become a challenging task as you begin to consider the many styles and construction components of each custom garage door option. Working closely with trusted garage door professionals is highly recommended during your consideration of custom garage door features.

CSS Garage Doors specializes in custom garage door installation in, and around, the Atlanta area. Our experience and knowledge has revealed the best designs, materials, and overall custom garage door manufacturers, both locally and nationwide. With our help, you’ll get the advice needed to complete your custom garage door project with confidence and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you’re getting the highest quality materials and services at the best price.

Custom garage doors feature Faux Finish, Solid Wood, and Overlay designs that fit well with the esthetics of both traditional and modern style homes. As with any garage door design, the most basic decisions to be made for choosing a custom garage door boils down to the appearance and build of the door.

Faux Finish doors are a popular choice for homeowners who appreciate the look of hardwood garage doors, but desire the durability and resilience of a metal frame. Solid Wood garage doors are beautifully crafted using high-end woods to meet the needs of homeowners who want the real deal without cutting any corners. Overlay designs open a world of possibilities for customization with additional eye-catching features like elegant arches and crossbeams, multiple layers, and two-toned paint finishes.

Faux Finish Garage Doors

Faux Finish garage doors are typically the most moderately priced of all custom garage doors, but still come in at a larger price tag than a standard garage door. For those looking to accomplish the look of wood without the price and upkeep of solid wood garage doors, the faux finish garage door gets the job done.

A faux finish door should be indistinguishable from solid wood garage doors when viewed from the curb. Selecting the best manufacturer and recruiting an experienced garage door installation team are both crucial factors that play into the appearance and functionality of your faux finish garage door.

A popular choice for completing the look can be found in Doorlink Manufacturing Inc.’s Stamped Carriage Style Garage Door model #3630, where color options include oak and walnut.

We also recommend considering the faux finish options from C.H.I.’s Accent Collection, where you’ll find great designs in faux cedar, mahogany, driftwood, and light and dark oak finishes that can be added to any standard or custom garage door design. All C.H.I. Woodtone doors are made with premium 2 triple layer steel panels, and are covered with a 6 year warranty on hardware and a 3 year warranty on springs. Once you’ve selected a garage door and the woodtone finish, you can also add window inserts, standard or designer glass, and exterior hardware options to achieve the desired appearance.

Solid Wood Garage Doors

Solid wood garage doors are perfect for homeowners who find the idea of faux finished doors underwhelming and desire nothing less than the real deal. Solid wood garage doors should display true craftsmanship as a work of art that becomes the main focal point of your home.

Though they will require a little more upkeep and maintenance than the alternative options with faux materials, homeowners who choose the solid wood garage door are usually willing to put in the extra effort to avoid artificial materials.

Solid wood garage doors tend to have an unfavorable review by homeowners who have encountered a negative experience with this custom option. As previously mentioned, the factors of how the door is built and how the door looks are the two most important decisions that you can make for your solid wood garage door, or any garage door selection for that matter.

CSS Garage Doors trusts only the best solid wood door manufacturers. We’ve witnessed the difference between the true artisans who take pride in their products, and those who cut corners with cheap tricks to make the sell with low quality materials at the homeowner’s expense.

A well designed and properly installed solid wood garage door with regular maintenance and upkeep has the ability to outlast all other custom door options. Our knowledge and experience with reputable companies will aid you in the process of choosing the right manufacturer for your project, which will ultimately add to the longevity of your custom garage door.

Solid wood garage doors can be designed to highlight the features of your home with an array of high-end wood options.

Though some homeowners opt for woods with colors that accent the particular architectural design of their home like mahogany, walnut, redwood, and oak, the most popular options for the Atlanta area are moisture resistant wood options like cypress and cedar for their ability to withstand the humidity in our natural climate. Other special requests for wood types can usually be produced, as long as the wood type is available, and the homeowner is willing to put in the extra work for necessary maintenance.

Unlike other premade custom designs, a solid wood garage door can be shaped into a work of art with a unique, one-of-a-kind design that fits the specific aesthetics of the home. This requires the skill of an experienced artisan who can build the door of your dreams with longevity in mind. Most custom wood doors are inspired by the creativity of the homeowner that comes to life with the help of skilled professionals. With the flexibility of sizing options to appearance options for wood type, stain finishes, and window designs, it is safe to say that solid wood garage doors are the most customizable of custom garage doors.

If the timeless appearance of a solid garage door is what you’re looking for, then the professionals at CSS Garage Doors are here to help. We understand the importance of the garage door selection process, and we are committed to assisting our clients with making the decisions that will best benefit their interests for a beautiful garage door that is built to last.
