Carriage Style Garage Doors
Nostalgic. Rustic. Classic.
Those are all favorite buzzwords in the jargon of the modern homeowner. Houses have become more cookie-cutter as part of developments and suburbs, so some people long for the old times when homes carried a certain charm, like window shutters and exposed brick.
Blending present and past can be a tricky endeavor, as it requires careful selection and a keen eye. One important decision you'll need to make with your design direction revolves around finding an appropriate garage door, which stands out prominently on the exterior of your home. If you want to throw back to the times of horses and elegant coaches, Marvin's Garage Doors can procure and install a beautiful, carriage-style garage door that highlights your commitment to a rustic revival.
As an authorized master Clopay® dealer, we offer a variety of different carriage house garage door styles, which means we're confident you'll find an ideal solution.

Benefits of Carriage House Garage Doors
It's hard to find many negatives when discussing the possibility of
installing carriage style garage doors in your home as part of new construction or remodel, as it's primarily aesthetic. If you're in love with the look, here are some benefits you could stand to gain from going with an option from Clopay:
- Highly Customizable: Clopay offers many different collections, styles and series to match particular looks. Do you want to fit in with your Craftsman-style house? Or maybe you're trying to fit in with a wood cabin. Those options, Victorian, Tudor garage doors and more are all on the table. From there, you can personalize colors, finishes, windows, materials and more to fit your scenario perfectly. You will find that nostalgic flair while adding your touch.
- Diverse Materials: More than a century ago, carriage doors were exclusively wooden. You can maintain that tradition today, as Clopay offers a range of different woods you can select from, including hemlock, redwood and cedar. You can stain the wood for light, medium or dark finishes. As beautiful as natural wood is, it can also be expensive and difficult to maintain. With that in mind, you can choose from composite options, which utilize overlays that incorporate wood into the design. The doors themselves are made from steel, fiberglass and other more accessible materials. You will achieve a nearly indistinguishable look compared to the authentic options while saving money.
- Modernized But Still Unique: The carriage houses of old featured swinging doors that you needed to open by hand, which is a bit dated now. Luckily, we can match the look and feel of those doors while implementing some present-day technology. Your door can feature handles and hinges for the authentic look, but it will utilize overhead operation to function like modern doors. While the classic wood models didn't hold heat well, Clopay carries plenty of options with insulation built in, which helps a lot with energy-efficiency.
