Carriage house garage doors in DFW
Carriage house doors.
The look of old swing-out doors on a door that still goes overhead — cross-buck or vertical boards, strap hinges, handles, arched windows.
Pricing a new door? Garage door installation starts with a measurement of your opening, not a catalog.

Garage door installation: how the opening is measured, what the written estimate covers, and what happens to the old door.
Best for
Three houses this suits.
- Traditional elevations Farmhouse, craftsman and ranch fronts, where the door is a large part of what the street sees.
- Matching what is already there Shutters, trim, lanterns and the front door have already set a language for the hardware.
- Comparing samples in daylight Overlay depth and finish read completely differently in a photograph and on a driveway.
Materials and construction
How a carriage house door is built
The face is either pressed into the steel, or laid on top of it.
Embossed steel takes the pattern in the panel itself. A composite overlay is applied over the steel and carries more depth and more texture.
Overlay depth, finish quality and the window inserts all vary by product line, and samples are the only honest way to compare them. Compare them outdoors, where the light is the light you will actually live with.
Among the makers we install, Wayne Dalton names a Carriage House line, and Clopay builds wood-look composite doors.
Built for North Texas
Carriage house doors in Texas sun
A dark stain in full west sun ages faster than the same stain in shade.
Finish maintenance and insulation are worth deciding on purpose here rather than by default, because the carriage face is usually the thing people fell for in the first place and it is the part they will keep looking at.
What shapes the scope
- The opening Size, headroom, the existing track, and whether your opener suits the door’s weight.
- What goes on the face Overlays, window patterns and hardware change what the door weighs as well as what it costs.
- Measurement On site, before anything is ordered. A door is fitted to a header and a floor that are both a little out of square by now.
