Single-Car Garage Doors

If you’re looking to house your beloved vehicle, a single-car garage door is the perfect choice for keeping it safe and sound.

When it comes to the garage door installation process, it’s important to consider the size of your vehicle and the available space in your garage. Single-car garage doors typically come in standard sizes of 8 feet by 7 feet or 9 feet by 7 feet.

These doors are commonly made from materials such as steel, aluminum, or wood. Steel doors are durable and low maintenance, while aluminum doors are lightweight and resistant to rust. Wood doors offer a classic aesthetic but require more upkeep.

Now that you understand the options for single-car garage doors, let’s move on to double-car garage doors for those with multiple vehicles or extra storage needs.

Double-Car Garage Doors

You’ll be blown away by the spaciousness a double-car garage can offer. With enough room to comfortably accommodate two vehicles, as well as additional storage space, this option is perfect for homeowners with multiple cars or those who need extra room for their hobbies and equipment.

When it comes to choosing the right garage door, there are various materials and styles available. You can opt for sturdy steel doors that provide durability and security, or choose stylish wooden doors that add warmth and charm to your home’s exterior. Additionally, you have the flexibility to select from traditional raised panel designs or modern contemporary styles that suit your personal taste and complement your property’s architecture.

Now let’s move on to explore the advantages of triple-car garage doors…

Triple-Car Garage Doors

Triple-car garage doors offer homeowners like yourself the added convenience of a third space, allowing you to maximize your storage and parking needs. These doors provide ample room for parking multiple vehicles, making it easier for your entire family to park their cars without any hassle. Additionally, you’ll have extra space for storage, whether it’s for sports equipment, gardening tools, or other belongings that need a designated spot.

Another benefit of triple-car garage doors is the increased home value they bring. Adding a triple-car garage door can significantly enhance the value of your home. It’s an attractive feature that potential buyers will appreciate when looking for properties with ample parking and storage options. Having a triple-car garage door may make your property more desirable in the real estate market and give you an edge over other listings.

As we transition into the next section about oversized garage doors, let’s explore how these larger designs can further elevate your garage experience.

Oversized Garage Doors

Imagine how much easier it would be to park your large vehicle in an oversized garage. Opting for an oversized custom garage door offers numerous benefits.

Firstly, an oversized garage door allows for easy entry and exit, ensuring hassle-free maneuvering of your vehicle.

Additionally, the extra space provided by these doors allows for convenient storage of other items such as bicycles or tools.

Moreover, oversized garage doors create a sense of luxury and exclusivity, giving your home a unique touch.

With their larger size, these doors also enhance the curb appeal of your property, making it stand out in the neighborhood.

So why settle for a standard-sized garage door when you can have all these advantages with an oversized one?

Now let’s delve into choosing the right size for your garage…

Choosing the Right Size for Your Garage

Choosing the right size for your garage door involves considering several factors. First, think about the dimensions of your vehicle and ensure there is enough space for it to fit comfortably. Also, consider any potential future needs, such as purchasing a larger vehicle or adding storage space. It’s important to choose a garage door size that can accommodate these changes. Additionally, take into account the height of your garage ceiling and ensure there is enough clearance for your vehicle and any accessories. Avoid common mistakes like underestimating the width needed for side mirrors and forgetting about extra space for pedestrian access. By carefully considering these factors, you can select the perfect size for your garage door, providing both functionality and aesthetics in a well-designed space.

Conclusion

When choosing the right size for your garage door, keep in mind the standard sizes for single-car, double-car, and triple-car garages.

Single-car garage doors are typically 8 or 9 feet wide and 7 or 8 feet tall.
Double-car garage doors should be around 16 feet wide and 7 or 8 feet tall.
Triple-car garage doors should be approximately 24 feet wide and 7 or 8 feet tall.

If you need even more space, there are also oversized garage doors available.

Here’s an interesting statistic to keep in mind: upgrading your garage door can increase your home’s value by an average of $3,500. So choosing the right size not only improves functionality but can also be a smart investment.

To ensure accuracy, make sure to take precise measurements before making any decisions and consult with professionals if needed. Happy shopping!

The service and the work that was done was exceptional. We needed to replace three very old (and very heavy) garage doors in a home that was built in 1960. There were a number of challenges along the way and each one was met professionally and in a timely manner. Lisa was an excellent communicator and highly responsive. Kevin did an extraordinary job with a fairly involved installation. His 'can do' attitude was very refreshing and reassuring. As noted, the final result was terrific. The pricing was VERY reasonable and very fair. The install was completed two days ago and I have already received compliments from the neighbors!

Excellent door and gate company. I would give them 10 stars. I had extremely tight tolerances and Terry and his crew engineered the gate down to the inch. Top of the line materials and great service. Highly recommend.

On Oct. 31 my electric gate stopped working and I called Alpha Gate and Door and talked to Lisa. She was great and based on my symptoms said she thought it was the battery and she would send Kealan out the next day. He came and replaced the battery with a 12 v 55ah battery. I asked him to rehang my reflector light on my neighbors new fence so the motion sensor would work. It had worked fine prior to that being taken down. He did that and it worked for a minute and then stopped. He rewired it and it worked once and he left. The next day I noticed the sensor was not working but I didn’t really care because my dog is too small to trigger it. I was charged $448 -$169 for the service call, $249 for the battery and $30 to rewire the sensor. I work exclusively from home as an attorney and never even use the gate during the week. A few weeks later the gate stopped operation completely and I called on Dec. 6. Lisa said she would send Kealan out. He called me and I said the gate would not open at all, the sensor was not working and the sensor was making a nonstop buzzing noise. He arrived fairly late in the day and I saw him pull into my driveway but he did not come to my door and went straight to the gate. I immediately went out there and I saw when he opened the cover that the battery charger lights were not on. He was in a very bad mood and starting ripping the battery out and said I needed a new battery. I said I guess it was because the battery charger wasn’t plugged in. I was not mad about it because that can happen to anyone. He got really mad at that point, I guess because I knew what had happened. He demanded to know whether I had unplugged it, grabbed a huge battery that would not even fit in my unit, then declared the charger had “allegedly” not been plugged in. As he was trying to force the battery in and was slamming everything around, I asked him if he had a smaller battery. He said no, it was whomever installed my gate opener’s fault because the antenna was on the left and they were usually on the right. He continued to try to force it but could not get the cover on. So he gave up and said he would come back Monday with a smaller battery. I assumed the sensor was not working because the battery had died. I heard nothing from anyone the following Monday and had had it so I called Lisa and yelled and told her the way Kealan had behaved and when was the battery actually going to be installed. She said she would talk to Kealan and I said do you have anybody else who is not a jackass who could come instead. She said she would investigate and call me back. She never called me back and apparently the next day around lunch Kealan snuck onto my property, did not tell me he was there, and put in another battery and texted me the gate was now working. I went outside to try it and the remote was not working at all. I have programmed remotes many times (I have done a lot of products liability work and handled cases with complex machinery failures and deposed a lot of engineers so I am not unfamiliar with this type of equipment) and checked it and the receiver was getting the signal from the transmitter but the control board was not opening the gate.So I called Lisa, explained he had come but not told me he was there, and that the remote was not opening the gate. I also apologized for yelling at her the day before because it was not her fault. She said she would tell him. After that call I remembered there is a reset button on the Patriot control board so I went out and pushed it and that caused the remote to work so I called Lisa and said it was working. The new battery is smaller than the one he had originally put in and retails for about $95. The motion sensor still does not work, I have done jumping jacks in front of of it to know avail. I am not bothering to call again about that because Kealan would probably get really mad again. He does NOT like his competence put into question. You decide if $249 is a fair markup on a $95 battery.

We are very happy with the service we received from Alpha Gate & Door. We had a 20-year old gate that stopped working. Upon our first call, they were quick to respond, provide an estimate & schedule the work. The tech was very thorough and at the end explained all of the updates. I know that if I ever need anything else, I will call them.

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Company! The entire process was incredibly quick and professional! I spoke with Lisa (she’s amazing and extremely knowledgeable) on Tuesday and she came out Wednesday with a recommendation to replace the gate opener that was faulty and couldn’t handle the weight of my gate. I received the reasonable quote the same day and their technician, Keelan, was at my house on Friday of the SAME WEEK to install. Keelan was just as courteous and professional as Lisa and did an amazing job! The install was perfect and pristine! I’ve tried working with other companies and honestly they are hands down the best! If there were 10 stars available, I would give them 10!
Thank you Alpha team!

I highly recommend Alpha Gate & Door Co.for your gate repair or installation needs. We were in need of a replacement system for or driveway gate. Lisa immediately understood my situation and had a perfect recommendation for a replacement. She emailed me a detailed proposal and followed up with a visit to our site. In a timely manner the technician, Kealin and his assistant George, professionally installed a complete Patriot 1 system that looks great and works perfectly. I am very pleased with all aspects of their service.

Alpha Gate & Door recently replaced our 3-gate system thats used by over 250 residents and visitors on a daily basis.

Terry was excellent in guiding us from the first visit to the final inspection, including his experiences on what to expect and where any likely issues would occur. With a large property, that was critical to avoiding problems that could pop up.

The crews, clean up and invoicing were all done professionally.

We would strongly recommend Alpha Gate & Door for your gate access needs.

Called on a Saturday morning around 0800 and left a message about issue I was having. I received a call back a few minutes later and was ask to send some pictures of the gate. Once I sent over the pictures, I got another call around 1200, asking if they could come by today as a crew was finished early and could swing by to fix. The gate was fixed by 3:00 same day. Thanks for the quick response and repair. I wasn't expecting that on a Saturday morning. So far so good.
