Choosing the Perfect Garage Door Style

Your garage door can account for up to 30% of your home's façade. Choosing the right style dramatically impacts curb appeal and property value. At Garage Door Canterbury, our design consultants help homeowners throughout New Hampshire find the perfect match.

Architectural Styles and Door Matches

Colonial and Traditional Homes - Raised panel doors in classic white or neutral colors - Carriage house style doors for added charm - Window inserts with traditional divided light patterns

Modern and Contemporary Homes - Clean, flush panel designs - Full-view aluminum and glass doors - Bold colors or natural aluminum finish - Horizontal lines to complement modern architecture

Craftsman and Bungalow - Wood or wood-look doors with natural finishes - Simple, clean lines with minimal ornamentation - Square window patterns - Earth tones and warm colors

Farmhouse and Rustic - Barn-style doors with X-brace designs - Weathered wood finishes - Black hardware accents - Natural wood grain visibility

Material Options

Steel Doors Most popular choice. Durable, low maintenance, available in many styles and colors. Our installation team installs premium steel doors with excellent insulation.

Wood Doors Classic beauty and natural insulation. Requires more maintenance but offers unmatched aesthetics.

Fiberglass Doors Resistant to dents and rust. Can mimic wood grain. Great for coastal areas or humid climates.

Aluminum and Glass Modern appeal. Natural light in the garage. Various privacy options available.

Color Considerations

Complement, Don't Match Exactly Your door should complement your home's trim, shutters, or siding—not match perfectly.

Consider the Roof Dark roof? Consider a mid-tone door. Light roof? You have more flexibility.

Sample Before Committing Colors look different in various lighting. Always view samples on your home. We offer color consultations at no charge.

Window Options

Windows add visual interest and natural light. Consider: - Traditional divided lights for classic homes - Clean, simple inserts for modern homes - Frosted or tinted glass for privacy - No windows for a streamlined look

Hardware Accents

Decorative hardware can transform a basic door: - Strap hinges for carriage house style - Ring pulls and clavos for Spanish or Mediterranean homes - Sleek handles for contemporary designs
