Do garage doors come in custom sizes? Not all garage door openings are a standard size that you can just fill by purchasing a garage door from a retailer. That’s why garage doors come in custom sizes and Henry B. Whitaker Garage Doors in Putnam County can help you get the right size you need.

What’s The Difference Between Standard and Custom Garage Doors?

Standard size garage doors are mass manufactured to provide doors for the most common sizes of garage door openings. For example, a single garage door size is a standard of 8-9 feet wide and 7 feet tall while a double garage door is a standard of 16 feet wide by 8 feet tall. You can find these standard garage doors in any retail or hardware outlet that sells garage doors.

But a custom garage door is not mass produced. These doors are made to order after a customer provides the size they are looking for. And that’s not all, a custom garage door can also be made with a specific design in mind. They can be just about any color or style depending on what you need. This gives your home a more unique appearance that stands out and increases its value.

Do Garage Doors Come In Different Sizes?

Absolutely. Custom garage doors can be any size you want. Maybe you need a garage door tall and wide enough to fit your RV. Or perhaps you just bought a big truck but you need to expand your garage door to fit it in. These are problems for which a custom garage door is the best solution. All you need to do is tell us what you need and Henry B. Whitaker Garage Doors will get you the custom garage door size you require.
