Custom garage doors add architectural features to enhance the beauty of your home.

Fine garage doors enhance and help define the spirit and personality of your home. Garage doors become focal points, directing and welcoming you and your guests. By far, the largest door in any home is the garage door. There are few architectural enhancements that can equal the immediate and dramatic impact of a custom garage door, and no other material provides the same tactile appeal of real wood.

Cowart Door Systems' custom garage doors, including our premier Wood-on-Steel and metal clad custom garage doors, as well as doors from Sawmill Creek, Clopay, Amarr and Jeld-Wen, complement the architectural style of any home, enhancing its beauty and value.

Cowart Door Systems Premier Wood-on Steel Garage Doors

• Precise, tight joinery
• Our "Ever-Dry" bottom section design sealed with Cetol 1 to assure long life
• All boards sanded to prep for stain and paint
• Arched top rails mitered so boards run at chord of arch
• Bottom rail and section-section cuts mitered to promote drainage
• Our "Ultra-Rigid" top section design for glazed doors
• 24 gauge commercial metal door sections with closed box stiles
• All doors insulated with 2-inch vinyl backed polystyrene insulation

Pre-finishing offers the best possible stain application, immediate weather protection, and turnkey responsibility. Pre-finished doors come with a 3-year warranty and we provide a re-coating service for these doors.

Sawmill Creek Wood Garage and Walk-Through Doors

Sawmill Creek builds elegantly styled garage doors and matching walk-through doors. The company has been building fine wood doors since 1987. Their design allows windowed sections as much as 30 inches tall, enhancing the carriage house look of their doors. Sawmill Creek doors offer a high level of finish and craftsmanship. They're built using a flush door core and an exterior of clear grade Western Red Cedar, known for its rich grain and warm palette that ranges from light amber to deep honey brown.

Clopay Reserve and Avante Collections

Clopay Reserve semi-custom wood doors offer frame-in-panel doors using Hemlock, Cedar or Redwood. The doors are well made and their flat frame-in-panel design is well suited to many architectural styles.

Clopay Avante Aluminum-Glass Full View Doors provide a crisp design accent to any contemporary home. Available with clear, obscure or frosted glass or aluminum panels and an aluminum frame in clear or bronze anodized or painted finish, these doors really are a class act.
