When was the last time you thought of updating your garage door? If you’re like many homeowners, as long as it is still opening and closing, it’s not something you’re thinking about. Instead, you focus on sprucing up exterior areas such as landscaping, painting, hardscape, and lighting to add curb appeal. View our Home & Garage Door Makeovers on Home Improvement TV Shows.

Home & Garage Door Makeovers
At Overhead Door™, one of our favorite things to see is unique door solutions that perfectly enhance a home’s curb appeal. Thanks to a wide range of customizable and easily obtainable options, homeowners can let their inner designer shine. Last year, we worked with two influential homeowners, a Hollywood actor, and a hugely successful interior designer, to create the finishing touches on their new homes by upgrading to an Overhead Door™ garage door that complements their aesthetic and unique style.
“This […] modern aluminum door from Overhead Door™ was the only choice [for me], once I saw it,” Wade said. “It’s new to the market.”
The Envy™ Model 9980 is more than just a functional garage door; it’s a style statement that sets the tone for what lies within – a house that harmoniously fuses modern aesthetics with the rugged beauty of nature.
“This door brings a great new vibe to the garage opening,” Wade added.

Overhead Door™ Brand Teams Up with HGTV and DIY Network Hosts Chip and Pauli Wade to Create A Beautiful Mountaintop Retreat
The pandemic’s isolationist trend has led Americans to pursue the tranquil ambiance of nature-oriented retreats, escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. While they are reintegrating into society, they seek a balance between work and leisure. And who would be better to pioneer this lifestyle shift than renowned HGTV and DIY Network Hosts and Designers Chip and Pauli Wade?
Envisioning their dream mountaintop retreat, the Wades sought out partners who could bring their ambitious project to life, pairing top quality with aesthetic grace. The result is Pinhoti Peak – a modern, luxurious retreat nestled atop the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains near Ellijay, Georgia. For such a unique project, only the best materials would do, right down to the garage door. Enter Overhead Door™ Brand.
“When you think of nice surfaces, garage doors aren’t necessarily at the top of anyone’s list, but they are at Pinhoti Peak,” Chip Wade said. “Such a prominent placement on the structure meant I had to select not only a quality door but one that elevates the aesthetic of the entire house.”
A Partnership Carved in Aluminium and Glass
With its exceptional quality and elegant design reputation, Overhead Door™ Brand was the Wades’ first choice. The Modern Aluminum Series, specifically the Envy™ Model 9980 (956), was the obvious go-to garage door. Boasting a unique contemporary look with crisp lines and a sleek design, this model complements the Wades’ vision for Pinhoti Peak.
Its durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum frames and light-filtering glass panels blend strength and elegance perfectly. The finishing touch? A mirrored gray glass tint with chic black finishes completes the sleek, modern look.
The Building Journey of Pinhoti Peak
The Wades documented the entire Pinhoti Peak Idea House building process from start to finish. This treasure trove of information provides innovative building techniques for those considering building a retreat or a revenue-generating property. The Wades’ commitment to sharing their expertise and the high standards they uphold is reflected in their choice of partnerships, including that with the Overhead Door™ Brand.
In the end, Pinhoti Peak stands as a symbol of a new era in home design – one that respects and embraces the raw beauty of nature while not compromising on modern luxury. Projects like these push the boundaries of what a ‘dream home’ away from city life can be. Overhead Door™ Brand is excited to see how new living trends evolve in the next few years. Our company is committed to bringing quality products that home design experts trust, and customers turn to again and again.
Together with Chip and Pauli Wade, Overhead Door™ Brand outfitted Pinhoti Peak with a unique blend of modern style, reliable functionality and unmatched beauty.

Popular DIYer Brittany Echols Partners with Overhead Door™ Brand for Home Renovation Project
When it came time for Arizona-based renovator, DIYer, and Instagram content creator Brittany Echols (Sunshine and Shiplap) to upgrade her home’s exterior, she knew she wanted a garage door that had the look of real wood—but provided more insulation to withstand the hot weather. Echols turned to Overhead Door™ Brand to help amp up her new home’s curb appeal while documenting the entire process for her followers, who actively track her projects and the products she recommends.
Echols selected a Thermacore® Model 5740 garage door with a Mission Oak finish that perfectly complements the rest of the house’s exterior. The door was complete with a vertical long panel design, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall look. Model 5740 is built to last with two layers of corrosion-resistant steel and offers maximum, high-quality insulation.
With the addition of the Thermacore® door’s embossed wood-grain texture, Echols was able to achieve the warm and inviting look of real wood that she desired without sacrificing thermal efficiency or durability.
“I am so in love with our new garage door! From start to finish, the installation was a simple and streamlined process. Our previous garage door was barely hanging on and so loud, but the Overhead Door™ Brand Thermacore® Model has rubberized wheels, which makes for such a quiet close,” said Echols. “Plus, the garage door itself is Wi-Fi enabled! Overall, I would have to say in all of our home updates, this goes up there on the top best upgrades to our homes we’ve ever done.”
Spanish-Style Living with the Baldoni’s
Justin Baldoni, best known for playing “Rafael” on The CW’s award-winning phenomenon, “Jane the Virgin,” knew he could trust Overhead Door™ Brand to deliver reliable garage doors— again. In 2019, we partnered with Justin and his wife, Emily, to transform the curb appeal of his home with the Modern Aluminum model 521. They have since moved to Ojai, California, but needed to upgrade the existing garage door to better complement the style of their new home.
Justin’s new home is what he likes to call “a slice of heaven.” When the Baldonis moved to a ranch in Ojai, they first wanted to upgrade their outdated garage door with something fresh and beautiful that would match the aesthetic appeal of their new Spanish-style home. According to K. Hovnanian Homes, a Spanish-style home is identifiable by its uniformity, minimal embellishments, and smooth stucco, adobe, or stone exterior.
To accomplish their goals, the Baldonis connected with the Overhead Door™ to find the perfect match for this style while providing a refreshing and modern look. The problem with their existing garage door was that it appeared dull in color and didn’t allow for any light to come into the space.
Signature® Carriage Wood Doors
They selected Signature® Carriage Wood Doors to complement the style of their new home. This door is part of the Villa Madre Series and is known for its romantic lines and distinguished flare of old-world estates. They designed a model 570 Castille Grooved door with two-pane arched top windows, featuring clear glass and a custom stain to appeal to the exact aesthetic that best fits their home’s exterior design.
Contemporary Upgrade for a 30-Year-Old Home, Deirdre Sanders, Professional Interior Designer
When world-renowned interior decorator Deirdre Sanders set out to replace her garage door in her new home in Huntsville, Alabama, she turned to the garage door experts at the Overhead Door™ Brand. Deirdre knew that she wanted to make a contemporary update to refresh the 30-year-old outdated exterior of her new home.
Deirdre wanted a door to fit the style of her home without it being too modern. Second, she wanted a practical and durable door to withstand anything her kids would throw at it – especially since a basketball hoop is nearby. Third, the door should be sturdy and built to last with thick glass windows and excellent thermal performance. With all things considered, we knew exactly what she needed and partnered with Overhead Door Company of Huntsville™ to provide expert installation and impeccable service.
Deirdre Sanders says, “I am pleased with the quality and the garage door has been wonderful. They were able to provide me with the exact design I envisioned for my home. It’s clear why Overhead Door™ Brand is considered one of the most trusted brands for garage doors and garage door openers.”
Impression Steel Collection®
The Impression Steel Collection® is an aesthetically versatile garage door collection that would add just the right amount of contemporary touch to Deirdres’ home. She chose model 5800 for its large sections and selected Stockbridge four-pane windows with satin-etched glass to provide a dramatic and classy effect.
She went with custom black paint, a trending color option taking off nationwide to achieve the ultimate modern yet classic look. Best of all, the steel door is durable and tough and, with occasional maintenance, should last Deirdre years to come. Plus, the door features foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation for maximum thermal efficiency, making it the ideal choice to keep her home comfortable throughout the seasons.
