Recent Project
A1 Door Company replaced a plain white garage door at a home in Colonial Heights, VA, with a white carriage-style door featuring top-row windows and black decorative hardware. The white finish still blends with the siding and trim, while the black accents pick up the dark tones of the roof.
What changed in this Colonial Heights garage door makeover?
The original door had short raised panels and a solid top section. The replacement has wider rectangular panels and a row of windows that lets daylight into the garage when the door is closed.
Black strap hinges and paired center handles make the wide door look like two carriage doors that swing open from the middle. The new details give the garage opening more definition while keeping the home’s existing color palette.
Garage door replacement FAQs
Do carriage-style garage doors swing open?
Many carriage-style garage doors are sectional and lift overhead. Decorative strap hinges and center handles give them the look of traditional swing-out doors.
Can I get natural light without a full-glass garage door?
Yes. A row of windows at the top lets in daylight while keeping the lower sections solid. If privacy matters, ask about frosted or obscure glass for the door model you’re considering.
