Residential Garage Doors in Florida

Popular Garage Door Styles in Florida

A garage is a fantastic resource in itself, but a garage door alone can have a dramatic impact on your home’s aesthetic. It can create balance across the front of your home and provide an attractive contrast to the exterior color. Replacing your old garage door with a new garage door installation can also enhance your curb appeal and has the potential to increase the resale value of your home.

Throughout South Florida, you’ll notice that many homes have been wonderfully transformed with specific garage door styles. As South Florida’s choice for garage door sales and repair, Broten loves seeing how a brand-new garage door dynamically changes a home’s exterior. If you’re looking for a new garage door, we suggest considering one of these five popular residential garage door styles in Florida.

1. CONTEMPORARY

Florida has a mix of old bungalows and newly constructed homes, giving homeowners many options. Many homeowners love the look of contemporary garage doors because it adds just the right amount of style without being too subtle or overbearing. These models feature crisp, clean lines that complement classic details. One great advantage of choosing a contemporary garage door style is that it can blend perfectly with any other modern makeovers you give the exterior of your home.

Modern homes require modern styles. Our contemporary doors are made from a variety of materials. Choose an insulated steel or an aluminum and glass model for low-maintenance convenience. You can also select a wood-look garage door in a contemporary style to give your home an extra boost of charm. A favorite of many Florida homeowners is our durable Modern Steel™ door that is hurricane rated to provide the protection you need. Our steel Canyon Ridge® Modern Series is another popular option that offers a faux-wood appearance.

2. TRADITIONAL

Contemporary is an excellent choice for some, but many other Floridians prefer a more traditional option when it comes to the design of their home’s exterior. Basic can be beautiful, and conventional is often convenient. One benefit of choosing a traditional garage door style is that it integrates seamlessly into a home’s exterior that also features a traditional design. Another advantage is that a traditional style may be ideal when it comes time to sell your home, giving you the boost in curb appeal that conventional buyers may appreciate.

You can’t go wrong with a traditional garage door from our Value or Premium Series. The Value Series is the long-lasting garage door you need at an affordable price. The Premium Series offers better insulation, increasing energy efficiency and keeping your garage comfortable all year long. We even have garage door collections you can customize if you want to include windows or choose a paint color that matches your home’s exterior perfectly.

3. CARRIAGE HOUSE

The minute you lay your eyes on a carriage house-style garage door, you will likely fall in love with its charm. This style transports your mind back into a bygone era of horse-drawn carriages and simpler times. The classic white-painted finish and crossbuck panels deliver that perfect country-style appearance that Florida homeowners love. Carriage house garage doors were typically manufactured from natural wood, but new models use woodgrain finishes to reduce the upkeep and potential damage that traditional wooden garage doors can incur.

Our selection of carriage house doors are available in two, four, and five-layer construction and feature multiple door and window styles. We also encourage you to check out our carriage house garage doors made from steel and composite overlays that are hurricane rated — perfect for a Florida home close to the coast!

4. MEDITERRANEAN

You don’t need to go far to find a Mediterranean style home in Florida. This Spanish-influenced design style is popular in many of the Sunshine State’s neighborhoods and deserves a garage door that perfectly complements its architecture. Because many of these homes are predominantly white or tan with red and brown accents from top to bottom, it’s important that you choose a contrasting stain or paint for the garage door, especially if you purchase a door that is made with wood or a faux-wood material.

Our Canyon Ridge® Modern Series is the perfect model for your Mediterranean home. This series was designed with the Florida home in mind. Hurricane rated with optional impact windows, this garage door is available in several factory-finish colors that present a rich, dark stain to beautifully complement your home.

5. WOOD-LOOK

Do you love the look of natural wood but would rather not deal with the constant upkeep? Then consider a wood-look door for your garage. Natural wood doors are phenomenal looking, and we understand why so many homeowners take pride in their wood doors. As a Florida homeowner,  however, you need to be aware of how these beautiful woods react to the heat, rain, and humidity that our weather brings. That’s why we always suggest homeowners consider our wood-look doors before making a final decision.

Wood-look doors are steel with faux-wood overlays, giving you strength and durability blended with the beauty and style of natural wood. You can have your pick of colors and finishes to complement or match nearly any exterior color on your home. Unsure if a wood-look or Mediterranean style is right for your home? Are you looking for a style that sits somewhere between modern, clean lines and the carriage house’s charm?

6. CUSTOM

Broten wants you to be 100% satisfied with your decision. That’s why we offer a line of custom products so you can create the perfect garage door that’s truly one-of-a-kind!

Ideal Garage Door Materials for Florida Homes

Choosing a new garage door involves more than picking the style that speaks to you. You need a garage door that can look great and withstand whatever nature throws at it. Intense heat, wind, rain, and even hurricanes may impact your home throughout the year. As you consider which garage door style you want, keep in mind that the material matters just as much as its appearance. The following three residential garage door materials are ideal for Florida homes.

1. STEEL AND COMPOSITEgarage doors in flordia

Steel is trusted for its strength and style, so it’s no wonder it’s such a popular garage door material for Florida homes. This material is also one of the most versatile in terms of design, customization, and pricing. No matter if your budget is large or small, you can easily find a steel garage door that delivers the style and durability you need at a price you can afford. Our Clopay steel doors range from single-layer to triple-layer construction, including insulation on some models.

You already know that steel is reliable, but why not enhance the integrity of your garage door by choosing a steel door with composite overlays? A woodgrain textured composite overlay offers an additional layer of protection for maximum durability. Our overlays are also available in several colors, meaning you never have to trade style for strength.

2. ALUMINUM AND IMPACT GLASS

There’s a reason so many Florida homeowners choose Aluminum Frame Impact Glass Garage Doors.  They are highly durable, so they can help to maximize privacy and protection.  We want to assure you that new glass panels are designed with strength, safety, and convenience in mind. When paired with an aluminum frame, glass panels add an unmatched beauty to your garage door.

You’ve undoubtedly seen your share of Full View garage doors, but we guarantee you’ve never seen anything like the aluminum and glass door options we have available at Broten Garage Door Sales. Our glass panels come in clear or frosted to provide the amount of light and visibility you desire, and the aluminum frames are available in several finishes.

3. FAUX WOOD

Real wood is beautiful — but it also requires a lot of ongoing maintenance to prevent shrinking, cracking, warping, and rotting. If you want to retain the beauty of real wood without all of the hassles, choose a faux wood garage door. Faux wood designs are available in bi-directional and uni-directional grains that create an authentic wood appearance, but you don’t have to worry about the material succumbing to damage from Florida’s heat and rain. They are available as a natural-looking or stained paint finish on our aluminum and steel doors.

We are proud to have an unbelievable selection of Ultra-Grain™ faux wood finishes throughout our Clopay collections. With over a dozen unique options, you can choose from oak, cypress, and classic wood styles. Available in three-layer and four-layer construction, these durable, long-lasting garage door materials are ideal if you want the rustic charm of pure wood but also need the strength and weather-resistance of steel.

Garage Door Options to Customize

Standard garage doors are sufficient, but many Florida homeowners love to add their own personal touch to their new garage doors. You want a home that fits your style, and we couldn’t agree more! Now that you’ve put together a shortlist of the garage door styles you love, it’s time to take your creativity to the next level by customizing the door’s design. From finishes and windows to track configurations and insulation integration, all of our Clopay home garage doors can be modified to your specific style and needs.

1. FINISHES

When it comes to customizing your new garage door, we suggest you look at the finish first. Selecting a finish has the potential to increase your curb appeal even more. For example, staining a natural wood garage door can refine its appearance. Similarly, painting a steel garage door can give it that strong color blast that makes it stand out in style. Looking for the perfect color to complement your home? Let us customize the color so that it balances out, contrasts with, or matches your home’s exterior color!

The factory finishes on our new garage doors are second to none. With so many finish and paint options, you can explore every possibility available to ensure you select the best color for your home. Unsure about which finish will look best on your home? Let the Broten team help you compare your options and choose the style that will showcase your home’s exterior aesthetic. We can even send you free garage door color samples so you can see exactly what it will look like.

2. WINDOWS

Three white Clopay garage doors with windows

If you haven’t considered including windows in your garage door, you may not be aware of the many benefits these features can provide. As one of the best investments, you can make in your home, garage doors with windows are functional and attractive. The increase in natural daylight makes the interior of your garage more convenient to work in. Some window panels are energy-efficient, while all feature impact-rated glass that meet strict building codes.

Our selection of Clopay garage doors includes many different options for window integration.

3. TRACKS

Take a moment to consider one element of a garage door that most homeowners forget about — the garage door’s track. If you’re like many homeowners, you may be used to seeing the standard radius track that’s most commonly used in residential applications. However, there are actually a few other track variations you can choose from that cater to your garage’s unique size:

  • Follow roof pitch lift: Great for garages with sloped ceilings.
  • Vertical lift: Perfect for those who need additional vertical space in their garage.
  • High lift: Increased lift space that may be necessary for garages that need to avoid specific structural elements.
  • 25-degree track: Ideal for garage doors that may interfere with windows when in operation.
  • Low headroom, rear-mounted spring: Accommodates garages that have a minimal amount of vertical space.
  • Low headroom, front-mounted spring: Works in garages with limited vertical space but slightly more than those that the rear-mounted spring tracks accommodate.

Every aspect of your garage door should fit your style and spatial needs. Unsure of which track configuration is right for your garage? Call Broten today, and we’ll help you determine how much headroom, sideroom, and backroom is required for all of our configurations in 2-inch and 3-inch tracks.

4. INSULATION

You rely on insulation to keep your home comfortable throughout the year — shouldn’t you expect that same reliability and comfort in your garage? The garage is one of the areas of your home that can let in the most heat. Along with improving your energy efficiency and lowering your energy costs, insulated garage doors are great resources that help preserve the items you store in this space. Don’t let heat wreak havoc on your tools, holiday decorations, or other important possessions. Choose an insulated garage door for maximum protection.

Clopay garage doors can be installed with Intellicore® insulation technology. This polyurethane foam fills the inside of the entire garage door, increasing its strength, durability, and insulation. It enhances comfort while also absorbing sound. Imagine walking into a garage that’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer while knowing your garage door has a built-in resistance to wear and tear that will extend its lifespan and enhance your family’s safety.

Customizing your garage door has never been easier than with Broten. Our wide selection of residential garage doors has many potential variations and configurations, and you can choose them specifically to suit your home. Before any of our customers settle on a door design, we encourage them to consider all customization features to discover how a simple modification to the windows, track, finish, and insulation can dramatically transform the look and functionality of the door. Whether you’re customizing for enhanced style, security, space, or support, our garage doors are guaranteed to please!
