Vintage Garage Door provides the highest quality installation available.  For example, your custom carriage house garage doors or REAL carriage doors will  operate effortlessly and quietly with a garage door opener of your choice; 1/2hp minimum.

(Note:  Please remember it is the torsion springs that provide the counter-balance weight and torque to open and close sectional overhead garage doors.  Do not fall prey to slick and glib garage door companies or installers who will tell you a heavy garage door requires a heavy duty opener – simply not true.  This is a high commission “attaboy” sale by installers.  Yet another example of why NOT to use garage door companies and installers for your custom hand-made carriage house garage doors.)

  • Custom & Quality
  • Materials
  • Build
  • Finish
  • Install

Let us look at just one of the many INSTALLATION methodologies Vintage Garage Door employs today (con’t) -

Upgraded commercial grade components including track, torsion springs, hardware, and nyloc ball-bearing rollers to ensure your hand-made custom door will open and close with one hand; effortlessly.  Craig, Master Craftsman at Vintage Garage Door designs the door, builds the door, finishes the door, and INSTALLS THE DOOR; all for a reason – Professional Quality that will last for years and years.

Vintage Garage Door’s installation is far and above a “standard installation” from an installer who typically gets paid per job, not a job done right.

The majority of “custom” garage doors do not come with commercial grade track and opening components.  Although, there are a few custom craftsmen who rise to the top providing an exceptional high quality, hand-built custom garage door with the appropriate tracking and components that will adequately carry the weight on the door without racking, bowing, twisting, flexing, or deflecting, etc.
