A practical guide to picking the right material, insulation, and style for a replacement garage door.

Material and insulation

Steel is the most popular for its strength and low upkeep, while wood and composite offer a premium look. Insulated doors help moderate temperature in attached or living-space-adjacent garages common on the Peninsula.

Style, windows, and curb appeal

The garage door is often the largest feature on a home's facade, so panel style, color, and window placement have a real effect on curb appeal. Matching the door to the home's architecture is usually a better investment than the cheapest option.
