Carriage-House and Full-View Glass
Two more families of door we install. Ask us for photos and samples of each.
Carriage-House and Wood-Look Doors
Inspired by the swing-out doors of old carriage houses, these doors lift like any sectional door but read as two leaves with vertical boards, top windows and decorative strap hinges. Steel and composite versions carry a realistic wood grain without the refinishing a real wood door needs.

- Materials
- Wood-look steel, composite, or real wood
- Options
- Window styles, strap hinges, handles, stain-look colors
Full-View Aluminum and Glass Doors
An aluminum frame filled with glass or polycarbonate panels. Full-view doors bring daylight into the garage and connect it to patios and outdoor spaces. Frosted, tinted and insulated glass options balance privacy and comfort.

Choosing a Garage Door Style
Quick answers to common questions. Don’t see yours? Call (615) 500-0326.
Which garage door style is right for my house?
Start with the architecture. Carriage-house doors suit farmhouse, craftsman and stone homes; raised-panel doors suit traditional brick; flush and full-view doors suit contemporary designs. We bring samples and can talk through options with photos of your house.
Are wood-look steel doors convincing?
Modern wood-grain finishes are realistic from the street and need far less upkeep than real wood, which has to be refinished regularly in Tennessee sun and humidity.
Can I get windows in any style?
Most styles offer window options, from small top-row windows to full-view glass. Windows affect privacy, light and insulation, so we’ll help you weigh them.
