Select a Unique Garage Door in Des Moines: Set Your House Apart

Posted by Allison Peet on Dec 21, 2015 11:13:04 AM

Have you been searching sites like Pinterest and Houzz, looking for just the right style of door to match your home?  Look no further.  Garage doors in Des Moines are becoming increasingly artistic and full of design options these days. We’re saying goodbye to the traditional White Colonial style. More and more people use their overhead door as the main entry to their home and want both quality style and functionality. Additionally, many garages make up anywhere from 30-50% of the total façade of the home, resulting in a major part of curb appeal.

If you have a modern or contemporary style house and love the look of the aluminum framed glass doors, but get sticker shock at the expense, consider this trending style garage door in Des Moines, with stacked windows down one side.  At approximately half the cost of a glass door, this is much more budget friendly!  Genesis Homes generously sent us these photos of doors we installed for them.  Their clients are so happy with the result!

Another advantage to going with the stacked windowed door, the R-value, or insulation rating is approximately 13.5 compared to 4.36 with the aluminum doors.  Steve Bouchard, owner of WD Door says:  

Aluminum doors are gorgeous, but spending $8,000-$10,000 on overhead doors just isn’t in many peoples’ budgets. My builders were looking for an alternative option that would match the modern style house. I approached our manufactures, Haas and Wayne Dalton, and together we designed a contemporary door that is much more cost effective and has a better insulation rating than the glass doors.  Our customers love that it gives them another option to make their house unique and sets them apart from other houses in their neighborhood.”
