In this article, our Aaron Overhead Doors team shares six of the best ways to customize your garage doors near Buford, Milton, and Buckhead, GA.

6 Choices to Make When Designing Custom Garage Doors

Designing customized garage doors boils down to making choices. When you take the time to choose the right garage door material, color, windows, panel design, and more, what you’re really doing is planning a custom garage door installation that is perfect for you and your home! 

1. Garage Door Material

Each garage door material comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Knowing your priorities and what look you’re going for will help you narrow down your options. For example, wood garage doors offer natural insulation but require additional maintenance. Glass doors are modern and stylish, but they’re heavier and more expensive to install. Below are common garage door materials:

2. Wood Stain & Paint Color

The paint color or wood stain you choose significantly impacts the overall look and feel of your garage doors. Do you want your garage doors to blend in with your home’s exterior or make a statement with a bold color choice? Our top garage door brands, including Wayne Dalton, Clopay, Hormann, Raynor, Amarr, CHI, and Clopay, all offer a wide variety of color options, so you’re sure to find one you love.

3. Panel Design

A garage door’s panel design sets the tone for the entire door style. You can choose from traditional, modern, contemporary, or carriage house garage doors, each of which will come with one of the following panel designs:

  • Raised Panel
  • Recessed Panel
  • Flush Panel
  • Full-View
  • Long Panel
  • Short Panel
  • Bead Board Panel
  • Carriage House

4. Window Layout

Garage door windows allow natural light into your garage, but some homeowners consider windows a privacy concern. The great news is that YOU get to choose how to customize your garage doors to make them exactly what you want. If privacy is a concern, you can choose a glass type that limits visibility inside your garage. Perhaps you love the simplicity of flush panels and decide you don’t want windows at all. Or, if you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum, you might choose full-view glass garage doors! The choice is yours.

5. Decorative Hardware

Handles, hinges, and knobs are small, but their impact is great! Customize your garage doors with an accent color and design that stands out to you and complements the overall door style you’ve chosen. Take a look at our Gallery to see examples of garage doors we’ve installed near Buckhead, Milton, and Buford, GA.

Excellent responsiveness. There was a question on where to put the window panel and Matt was committed to getting it right even if it meant redoing some work. Great work and very efficient. Will definitely use this company again.

The entire company was fantastic- from Bree calling me back on Memorial day to Joe arriving Tuesday morning to address my issue. The entire door system was reviewed nd evaluated thoroughly.
Joe patiently explained what I had, needed to be done and what my options in general were for repair. Once the estimate was ready, Joe again patiently explained the repair options and discussed in detail any specific line items I either didn't understand or was looking for clarification on.
The estimates were fair and reasonable for the work involved and once I made my choice the work was begun and finished well within the time frame Don gave me for the repair. I am extremely pleased with everything- top to bottom and will continue to highly recommend Aaron Overhead Doors to anyone looking for garage door repairs/ replacement.

I highly recommend Aaron Overhead Doors for any garage door needs. Joe Simon is professional, knowledgeable, and truly values his customers. Ally, who manages the service calls, is also extremely friendly and helpful.

When my garage door motor stopped working after just two years, Joe and the team took care of everything from start to finish with LiftMaster. They were completely honest, immediately let me know the unit was still under warranty, and kept me informed every step of the way while arranging the replacement. The entire process was seamless and stress-free thanks to their expertise and integrity.

Highly recommend Aaron Overhead Doors of Buford. They installed a garage door about 4 years ago. Called just for service and safety check - no issues. Largest item in the house, so wanted to be sure. Joe was very pleasant and helpful with answering all questions. The safety check and regular maintenance was completed quickly.

Our sales person was wonderful - he really went the extra mile to find out what we needed and wanted. And the installation team was great - they were attentive and made doubly sure that everything was safely installed and that we were happy with the final results. It's been five months since the garage doors were installed, and we love them. We will certainly use Aaron Overhead Doors if we need garage door services in the future, and we are happy to refer them to others who need new doors or garage door service.
