How This Project Came to Life

For this project, we had customers that enjoyed having visitors and had a great time entertaining. They also enjoyed cooking and sharing meals, but they didn’t like traversing the entire house with their plates and food. They had to go from the kitchen, to the patio door near the dining room and then out to the deck. We found that there was a better option. ” – Kelly Brown, designer

Our customers were trying to find something unique to separate the kitchen from the sunroom, but that would still allow them to have access, such as for passing food.

To be honest, I didn’t know much about panoramic garage doors. For that matter, I didn’t have much knowledge in the way of garage doors at all. However, when I decided to meet with the folks at Doan’s Garage Doors, they helped to get me up to speed quickly. I met with a team of consummate professionals. They took the time to listen to what my client needed and what I wanted. They were able to help me create a space that was truly remarkable. I was happy, and so was my client. ” – Kelly Brown, designer

If your garage door is made from a quality manufacturer, there really is no “standard size”. Although, the size of a Single garage door will typically measure 9’x7’and a double garage door measures 16’x7’, every single door is custom-made based on the needs of your space.

Garaga creates residential doors in all sizes and styles, measuring from4 feet to 20 feet wide (within an inch) and between 6 and 12 feet high (in increments of one or three inches).
