Reasons to Buy a Wood Garage Door

Curb appeal

Wood garage doors can look luxurious, rustic, and beautiful and enhance your home’s look. They can also be finished in various colors to match your home’s color scheme.

Customization

Wood garage doors can be customized to fit any style or design and are semi-custom or custom-built to match your home’s architecture.

Security

Wood garage doors are strong and durable, and they are less likely to be damaged by forced entry than glass or metal doors. For extra security, you can also reinforce a wooden door with a deadbolt lock.

Increased home value

Wood garage doors can increase your home’s resale value and curb appeal, which can help you attract a seller sooner.

Durability

Wood garage doors are durable and can withstand most damage, including dents, scuffs, and dings. They can also resist natural forces of decay, such as extreme weather conditions.

Insulation

Wood is a natural insulator, which can help regulate your home’s temperature and save you money on energy bills.

Maintain a Wood Garage Door

Unlike metal and many synthetic materials, wood is more susceptible to the elements and requires extra attention. Sun, wind, and water negatively impact wooden garage doors, but with the proper care, your wood door can last for decades.

Keep your wood door clean.

Every few months, wipe down both sides of your garage door with a cloth, hot water, and regular soap. This removes dirt buildup and gives the wood a new sheen.

Keeping the wood clean prolongs the life of the wood’s stain, minimizing the need to re-stain as often.

Check for blemishes

While cleaning your wood garage door, check for cracks, flaking, and mildew. Since wood is more vulnerable to water damage, any cracks in the wood and paint/stain can cause moisture issues beneath the surface.

Pressure wash and re-stain every few years

Pressure washing is the best way to clean a wood door. After washing, it’s time to give your door a fresh coat of stain.

Using a semi-transparent stain on the face is an excellent way to protect the wood from significant damage and keep your garage door looking new.

The payoff

Despite the extra maintenance, nothing quite compares to a beautiful wood garage door, which also keeps your curb appeal in excellent condition.
