My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

CHI vs Amarr Doors insulation/value/looks

6 years ago

Hi. Have it narrowed down to a CHI Skyline or Amarr Olympus flush look garage doors.

The CHI is about 4 grand more. Is it worth it? (for two doors)

We will be having a suite above garage, so insulation will be important.

As will curb appeal. They both have similar R value, not sure about the U values tho...

Is the CHI worth it or is the Amarr fine for 4K less?

Thanks.
