Are you looking for the ideal garage door for your Laurel home? There are many types of garage doors available in the market. You have to consider your budget, the style of your home, and also your lifestyle when choosing a garage door. For example, if you are always in a rush during the morning, it’s best to buy an automatic garage door instead of a manually-operated one. Garage doors are also made from different materials, and here are the most common ones:

 • Wood. This is the traditional choice and ideal for carriage-style houses. Note that some types of wood might be too heavy for garage door openers. If you live in a humid place, expect your garage door to require refinishing every few months.

• Steel. Considered one of the most popular options, this type of material is durable and requires little maintenance. The low-cost-type steels are not very strong and steel over-all is a poor insulator.

• Aluminum. Ideal for large and wide-set garages, aluminum is light. It also has a long-lasting finish. The main problem is it may be prone to denting.
