Almost everyone s got one most ignore it it s just there.
Garage door skins wood look.
But one thing i noticed is that this development s garages have an early to mid 20th century look and i do like this.
But rick medlen of creswell or who invented garageskins has the answer.
You ll see what i mean in some of the pics and the video below.
A cottage style housing development is going up in my kirkland wa area neighborhood that adopts a 1940s look a movement that first came to fore a few years ago with susan susanka s the not so big house book and two other kirkland developments by the cottage company.
Over the years there have been some attempts in the marketplace to provide solutions to enhancing this boring large chunk of metal that stands so prominently on the front of millions of american homes.
In doing so i found a start up from a few years back that created some pretty cool skins that transform standard metal garage doors into fairly realistic looking wooden garage doors despite the obvious gaps and shadows where the skins or panels meet.
Garageskins will allow any homeowner with a standard metal overhead garage door to add the look of a real wood carriage house door in under an hour and for less than 1000.
Street facing metal garage doors are a tough design problem to overcome.
Remember a street facing garage door can take up to 60 of the first impression of your home so make it count.
