Should I Paint My Garage Door Black?

A black garage door is a good option if you want it to pop against a white house, according to American Overhead Door. Black also works well for modern homes. However, if you’re not ready to commit to full-on black, try a dark gray. A trendy door color can do a lot to boost curb appeal. Confused whether to paint it or not?

What About Stained Wood Garage Doors?

A natural wood garage door can add warmth and a sense of depth to the exterior of your home no matter what color, according to Clopay, a nationwide garage door company. “Wood doors provide strength and inherent insulating properties, but they do require regular maintenance to safeguard it from the elements. Depending on the exposure, a wood door should be repainted every one to two years. Stained doors will need a top coat applied just as often per the manufacturer’s recommendation.”

Wood garage doors can come in all shades, from light to dark, which makes it easy to find exactly the right color to work with your home’s exterior.
