How long does it take to get a custom garage door installed?

Custom carriage house doors typically take 4-8 weeks from order to installation, as each door is handcrafted to your exact specifications. Steel doors may be completed in 2-4 weeks. We'll provide a specific timeline during your free design consultation based on your project requirements and current production schedule.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes! We provide a FREE design consultation and quote. During this consultation, we'll discuss your vision, review design options, help you select materials and hardware, and provide a detailed price quote. We also include FREE removal and disposal of your existing garage door (a $300 value) with all installations.

Are carriage house doors worth the extra cost?

Yes, for most homeowners seeking quality and curb appeal. Garage door replacement offers 102.7% ROI according to Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report. Premium carriage doors last 20-30+ years with proper maintenance, significantly increase home value, and provide stunning visual impact. Our customers consistently report getting compliments and being extremely satisfied with their investment in authentic craftsmanship quality.

What wood species are available for custom wood garage doors?

We offer several premium wood species including reclaimed barn wood (authentic historical character), sapele (exceptional durability and beauty), red cedar (natural weather resistance), and other hardwoods. Each wood species has unique characteristics. We can help you select the best wood for your specific needs and aesthetic preferences during your free consultation.

Can you match my garage door to my home's architectural style?

Absolutely! That's our specialty. Whether you have a traditional, contemporary, craftsman, or historical home, we can design and build custom doors that complement your architecture perfectly. We offer various styles, materials, finishes, and decorative hardware options to ensure your garage door enhances your home's curb appeal and authenticity.

What is included with installation?

Professional installation includes removal and disposal of your existing garage door (FREE - $300 value), installation of your new custom door, all necessary hardware, door alignment and calibration, final inspection, and customer walkthrough. We ensure everything is functioning perfectly before we consider the job complete.

Do you offer garage door repair services?

Yes, in addition to custom door installations, we provide garage door repair and maintenance services for existing doors. This includes spring replacement, track alignment, panel repair, opener repair, and general maintenance. We service doors we installed as well as doors from other manufacturers. As one customer noted, we even serviced their doors 15+ years after original installation.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, checks, money orders, bank transfers, and cryptocurrency. Typically, we require a 50% deposit upon order with the balance due upon completion and installation. Financing options may be available for qualified buyers.

Why won't my garage door close all the way?

Common causes include misaligned safety sensors (most common - clean sensors and check alignment), limit settings that need adjustment, damaged or bent tracks, broken or worn springs, or obstructions in the door path. If adjusting sensors and limits doesn't work, or if springs are broken, call a professional. Never attempt to fix springs yourself as they're under extreme tension and dangerous. Call Image Doors at (770) 740-9030 for professional repair service.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard garage door springs last approximately 7-10 years or 10,000-20,000 cycles (one cycle = door opening and closing once). High-cycle springs can last 20,000-30,000+ cycles. Factors affecting spring life include usage frequency, spring quality, and environmental conditions. Signs of failing springs include a heavy feeling door, door dropping quickly, visible gaps in spring coils, or squeaking noises. Never attempt to replace springs yourself - always call a professional as springs are under extreme tension.

What is the difference between real carriage house doors and carriage style doors?

Carriage style doors are standard steel or fiberglass garage doors with decorative vinyl overlays applied to look like carriage doors - mass-produced and not custom. Real carriage house doors (what Image Doors specializes in) are custom handcrafted from authentic wood or premium steel, built as one piece or true panels (not overlays), with genuine functional hardware and completely custom specifications. The difference in authenticity, quality, craftsmanship, and appearance is dramatic, especially up close. Image Doors provides authentic reproduction, not imitations.

Do you offer military discounts?

Yes, we offer military discounts for active duty service members and veterans. Contact us at (770) 740-9030 for details on current discount programs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience with our garage door repair with Dennis and Image Doors. He'd done the original installation and after 15+ years the bottom of the doors had gotten some rot into them (due to poorly maintained maintenance). Dennis had doors removed, repaired and reinstalled with no issues whatsoever. Very competitively priced (these were high-end carriage garage doors). Dennis was great to work with and was one of the most friendy contractors we've worked with. (he even repainted the old hardware for us and left us a smaple of his moonshine - which was great btw). Highly recommend them for anyone looking for garage door work.

The Athens Advantage: Where UGA Heritage Meets Modern Elegance

Home to the University of Georgia, Athens presents unique carriage house door investment opportunities with 85-95% returns adding $14,000-24,000 to property values. From Five Points’ professor-preferred bungalows requiring authentic swing-out doors to Forest Heights’ grand colonials with elegant sectional designs, our expertise covers Normaltown’s artist enclaves and Cobbham’s executive estates.

Athens’s Piedmont location creates challenging microclimates with 85% summer humidity, winter ice storms dropping to 15°F, and 50+ inches of annual rainfall. Our Pacific Northwest cedar and African sapele selections excel in these red clay hill conditions, resisting moisture penetration that destroys lesser materials.

Near Sanford Stadium, Five Points’ 1920s craftsman homes showcase swing-out carriage doors with hand-forged hardware reminiscent of old Athens foundries. Forest Heights’ stately properties feature sectional systems with divided-light glazing, while Normaltown embraces creative interpretations and Cobbham developments prefer sleek contemporary profiles.

Positioned between Georgia’s mountains and coastal plain, Athens experiences red clay soil expansion, freeze-thaw cycles, and humidity from Lake Hartwell systems that stress conventional doors. Cedar’s natural oils and sapele’s dense grain provide the weather resistance essential for Piedmont Georgia’s demanding seasonal patterns.

Athens installations navigate unified government permitting plus neighborhood standards reflecting UGA campus guidelines. Historic District properties require Heritage Preservation Commission review, while newer developments demand updated wind load specifications. Our Northeast Georgia team understands these requirements through decades of regional projects.
