Building a Home Garages/Workshops Design Dilemma

Black metal modern inexpensive garage door?

4 years ago

We are building a somewhat modern, kind of Nordic inspired house which storage on the lower level and living space above. It looks like I will have dark gray siding with black windows and garage doors. The look we want is ultra simple, just flat black metal panels, no windows. Not sure about insulation. I've even thought about commercial doors. We need 4! Two will have lifts, the other two not. Sizing is close to standard but as square as possible, like 9 x 8, or maybe 9 x 9. I really need to keep the cost down, does anyone carry something like this? It seems we could get something pretty close if we wanted white... sigh! I'd love it to be under $2K each

True, and I won't rule that out. Glad you said that. I probably should edit my question to also ask about 9 x 8 garage doors in completely flat metal panels... nothing decorative.

We used Overhead Doors. Not sure what vendors you have, but this website might give you some ideas using residential or commercial applications. My double door is steel, horizontal panels in black. Was not over the top expensive.

An autobody painter can paint a cheap $700 homey cheapo door. But a black garage door will be about a thousand degrees, and look like a black hole in the home’s face. It’s better to match the body color of the home, and help it disappear.

We had quotes from NorthWest Garage doors and Martin. Ours are flat black. We have temporary ones from Martin installed and we're satisfied with the quality.
