We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Midlothian seasons, you know the pattern: four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes brings road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, and summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel. We size and protect replacements accordingly.

Custom garage door design is for homeowners and architects who treat the garage door as a major facade element rather than a utility component. A custom-designed door can shift the entire street presence of a home — modern carriage-style with strap hinges and small upper-light windows transforms a tract home into something with character; sleek full-view aluminum with frosted laminated glass turns a 1990s ranch into a contemporary statement. We work directly with architects, designers, and homeowners through 3D renderings, material samples, and finish proofing.
Materials we work with include premium steel (Clopay Canyon Ridge, Amarr Classica), real wood (cedar, mahogany, hemlock with marine-grade finishing for the local climate), powder-coated aluminum frames, and full-view systems with insulated and laminated glass. Smart features are designed in from the start — concealed sensors, integrated motion lighting, and battery-backed openers with hidden mounting.
Custom timelines run 4–10 weeks from final approval to install depending on materials. We coordinate with the homeowner's general contractor or architect on opening prep, electrical routing, and any framing changes required for the chosen design. Install is white-glove — protective floor covering, masked-off paint surfaces, careful debris management, and a punch-list walkthrough before we leave.
Signs you need custom garage door design
Major renovation in progress
If you're already renovating the home's exterior, the garage door belongs in the design conversation. It's 30–40% of the street-facing facade.
Working with an architect or designer
Custom doors integrate with the broader design intent. We collaborate directly with the design team on materials, proportions, and finishes.

Full-view doors with the right glass selection can let natural light in while preserving privacy — useful for converted garage spaces.
Common causes & what we fix

Stock doors are designed for production volume, not architectural fit. Custom design is the answer when the home's style demands it.
Non-standard opening size
Vintage homes and architect-designed properties often have non-standard opening dimensions that no stock door fits cleanly.
Material specification
Real wood, premium powder-coat colors, custom hardware, and laminated glass are all custom-territory specifications.
Integrated design intent
When the garage door needs to integrate with siding, paint, masonry, or landscaping in a specific way, custom is the only path.
Historic restoration
Restoration projects on pre-1950s homes require period-appropriate door design that no stock manufacturer offers.
