If you're upgrading your garage door, the right choice can transform your curb appeal, lower your energy bill, and withstand Arizona’s harsh weather.

Here’s the ultimate guide to choosing the perfect door.

1. Choose a Door Built for Arizona Heat

Our climate is brutal on traditional doors. Look for:

• Heat-resistant steel or aluminum• UV-protective finishes• Insulated cores• Wood-look steel (instead of real wood, which cracks here)

2. Pick a Style That Fits Your Home

Most popular styles in the East Valley:

Modern Glass & Aluminum Sleek, clean, and stunning curb appeal.

Carriage House Perfect for farmhouse or traditional homes.

Flush Panel Simple, modern, and timeless.

Wood-Look Steel All the beauty of wood with none of the maintenance.

3. Choose the Right Color

Popular Arizona colors:

• Desert Sand• Dark Brown• Black• Bronze• White• Custom colors to match your home

Modern black doors have become a top choice for curb appeal.

4. Insulation Matters More Than You Think

An insulated door:

• Keeps your garage cooler• Protects storage items• Reduces noise• Adds strength• Helps reduce heat transfer into the home

Look for polyurethane insulation for the best performance.
