OK, so we had Overhead Door out to give us a quote. They recommended an insulated steel door in their Thermacore line. The good thing is that there is no upcharge for any of the door styles, so a base price of around $1400 which includes tax, installation and haul away of our old door. They thought our old opener would work fine so that won't need replaced. To add windows is an additional $300 which we will likely do. Again, no additional charge no matter which window design you choose (there are about 20 options). We've had Overhead Door in the past so feel comfortable with them. I don't know all the ins and outs of the door options, but am less concerned about things like insulation since it is a detached garage. Aesthetically, I do want it to look nice. I asked about the fancier carriage door options and boy do the prices go up in a hurry. I have other things that require my funds (like fixing my car!) so I would like to make this less expensive option work
So, the door design options are small raised panels (8 across for a double door), long panels (4 across), flushed panels, and a small panel with vertical lines. This is the one pictured below I'll accept votes for which option would look best! Then I'll have to decide on window options.
