A Buyer’s Guide to Classic Style Garage Doors

October 22, 2022

The garage door is the largest feature on the front of the house. It gives the first impression of your home to visitors and a “welcome home” message to you every day. If you are trying to sell your house, it will be an eye-catcher for potential buyers. If it’s dented, scratched, faded, old, or in any way simply unimpressive, it’s time to consider replacing it with a garage door from Joe Wilde Company. 

Replacing your garage door with a new or updated model is an easy way to bring a new look and beauty to your home. It can improve how you feel about your home. And because it’s also a selling point for buyers, a new garage door adds investment value. Here’s our Classic Garage Door Buyers Guide featuring models offered by Joe Wilde Company to help you decide which one might be right for your home.

Classic Always Meets the Standards

This popular style of garage door is called “classic” because it is the most traditional design and is found on the majority of homes. If your homeowner’s association has limits on what changes you can make to the outside of your home, or what styles are allowed, this door will always meet the standards. Classic-style garage doors are reliable, providing great strength and durability. But they are also customizable, coming in a wide range of colors and window options. You can find the right door to fit your budget depending on the options you choose. Classic Style Garage Doors from Joe Wilde Company come in three model series, detailed here below.

Classic Collection Value Series:  If you are looking for garage doors that fit a small budget but still enhance your home’s curb appeal, then our Classic Collection Value Series might be right for you. These single-layer, non-insulated, classic garage doors provide beauty and durability at an economical price. They are made from quality 24- or 25-gauge steel with a 2″ thick frame construction for durability and longevity. Choose from two panel designs, windows, and five factory-finish paint colors.

Classic Steel:  If you want to fully customize a traditional steel garage door, the Classic Steel model has a wide range of construction and design options. Some of the great options available are 1, 2 or 3-layer construction, insulation, short or long-panel raised designs, 14 factory-finish paint colors, a wide variety of windows (decorative, architectural, and double-top window sections), and multiple glass options (acrylic, insulated, frosted, seeded, rain, and obscure).

Bridgeport Steel:  If you want the look of a wooden garage door but the strength of steel, the Bridgeport Steel garage door is the right model for your home. These doors combine the traditional symmetry of wood styles and rail door designs with 1, 2, or 3-layer steel construction. The Bridgeport model has exceptional strength, energy efficiency, and quiet operation. These insulated doors have R-values from 6.3 to 18.4. Create a door that complements your home as you choose from narrow or extended recessed panel designs, 14 factory-finish paint colors, and decorative hardware.
