Houston Climate Recommendation

For Houston's hot, humid climate, we strongly recommend composite carriage-style doors. They provide the authentic wood appearance you want without the constant maintenance real wood requires in our challenging climate. Composite doors won't rot, warp, or require painting/staining every 2-3 years like real wood. If you love the idea of real wood, consider it for covered garages only, or be prepared for regular maintenance.

Carriage House Doors FAQ

Common questions about carriage house garage door installation

True carriage doors swing outward like traditional barn doors, requiring clearance in front of the garage. Carriage-style sectional doors look like carriage doors but operate like modern sectional doors (vertical lift), offering the authentic appearance with modern convenience. Most homeowners choose carriage-style sectional for the best of both worlds - traditional aesthetics with automatic opener compatibility and no driveway clearance needed.

Carriage house garage doors in Houston range from $1,800-$8,000+ depending on type and materials. Carriage-style sectional (steel with overlays) typically costs $1,800-$3,500. Composite carriage-style doors range from $2,500-$4,500. True swing-out carriage doors in wood cost $3,000-$6,000+. Custom wood carriage doors can exceed $8,000. We provide free estimates with detailed pricing for your specific needs.

Carriage-style sectional doors work with standard garage door openers just like any sectional door. True swing-out carriage doors require special swing-out operators that are more expensive ($1,500-$3,000 for the opener alone). Most homeowners choose carriage-style sectional doors to get the authentic look while keeping the convenience and affordability of standard automatic openers.

We offer cedar (most popular for its natural rot resistance), redwood (premium durability and beauty), mahogany (exotic hardwood with rich color), and hemlock (affordable softwood option). Each species can be stained or painted in any color. For Houston's humid climate, we recommend cedar or composite materials that won't warp, rot, or require constant maintenance like traditional wood.

Wood carriage doors in Houston require staining or painting every 2-3 years to protect against humidity, sun, and rain. Clean regularly, inspect for water damage, and ensure proper sealing. For low-maintenance alternatives, consider composite carriage-style doors that look like real wood but never need painting or staining, making them ideal for Houston's challenging climate.

Yes! Windows are a signature feature of carriage house doors. Choose from various configurations: top row windows, decorative window patterns, arched windows, or custom designs. Window options include clear glass, frosted glass for privacy, or decorative glass. Windows enhance the authentic carriage house appearance and add natural light to your garage.
