Garage Door Impressions From The Street (Literally)

Garage Door Impressions from the Street (Literally)

OK, you've picked your perfect home with the perfect hardware (you've been listening to me!). You know how important that first impression is. Your front door is magnificent with hardware to die for. You've done you home work and you've coordinated your hardware though out your home. Congratulations! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

But wait. Do you have a street facing garage door? And what percentage of the front of the house does that door represent? Hum. What was that thing about first impressions? But it's just a garage door after all. People are looking at the rest of your magnificent house. Yea - right. Just a short drive up your driveway and there it is looming over you. Not to mention everyone can see it from a mile away and it is often given the least consideration of the exterior of the house and is yet often the most prominent. So perhaps it's more significant than you may think.

But there is hope.
Want the look of a carriage house door but have an overhead door setup? Consider architecturally correct rust resistant cast aluminum strap hinges and handles. You have added a great look with very little weight on your overhead motor. Well, what can I say? You've done it. Magnificent.

There are many solutions to this simple problem. Architecturally correct rust resistant cast aluminum strap hinges and handles are just one easy fix. Consider ring pull handles, fleur-de-lis handles, or more decorative strap hinges and door studs. The list of ideas is endless and the look from the street will be beautiful.
