Garage Door Custom Garage Door Design Ann Arbor, MI
Our custom garage door design service covers all of Ann Arbor: Logan and the surrounding Ann Arbor area. Set in Michigan's continental-climate region, these doors face doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, and we plan every repair around it.
We spec every Ann Arbor job for the environment it lives in. Given warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware, the failure modes we plan around are doors frozen to the slab on the coldest mornings, wide seasonal swings that work bolts loose over time, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers — and we carry the corrosion-resistant parts to match.
The calls we get most in Ann Arbor are corroded low brackets from winter slush, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, openers straining against cold-thickened grease, and warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw. Each is something our trucks are stocked to fix on the first visit — no waiting on parts.
Custom garage door design is for homeowners and architects who treat the garage door as a major facade element rather than a utility component. A custom-designed door can shift the entire street presence of a home — modern carriage-style with strap hinges and small upper-light windows transforms a tract home into something with character; sleek full-view aluminum with frosted laminated glass turns a 1990s ranch into a contemporary statement. We work directly with architects, designers, and homeowners through 3D renderings, material samples, and finish proofing.
Materials we work with include premium steel (Clopay Canyon Ridge, Amarr Classica), real wood (cedar, mahogany, hemlock with marine-grade finishing for the local climate), powder-coated aluminum frames, and full-view systems with insulated and laminated glass. Smart features are designed in from the start — concealed sensors, integrated motion lighting, and battery-backed openers with hidden mounting.
Custom timelines run 4–10 weeks from final approval to install depending on materials. We coordinate with the homeowner's general contractor or architect on opening prep, electrical routing, and any framing changes required for the chosen design. Install is white-glove — protective floor covering, masked-off paint surfaces, careful debris management, and a punch-list walkthrough before we leave.

Working with an architect or designer
Custom doors integrate with the broader design intent. We collaborate directly with the design team on materials, proportions, and finishes.
Architectural style mismatch
Standard raised-panel doors look wrong on Spanish, contemporary modern, Mediterranean, and Craftsman homes. Custom design matches the home's vocabulary.
Resale upgrade for high-end property
On homes in the $1M+ range, a custom door is often the highest-leverage exterior upgrade for buyer impression and listing photo quality.
Specific privacy or light goals
Full-view doors with the right glass selection can let natural light in while preserving privacy — useful for converted garage spaces.
Common causes & what we fix
Aesthetic mismatch
Stock doors are designed for production volume, not architectural fit. Custom design is the answer when the home's style demands it.
Non-standard opening size
Vintage homes and architect-designed properties often have non-standard opening dimensions that no stock door fits cleanly.
Material specification
Real wood, premium powder-coat colors, custom hardware, and laminated glass are all custom-territory specifications.
Integrated design intent
When the garage door needs to integrate with siding, paint, masonry, or landscaping in a specific way, custom is the only path.
Historic restoration
Restoration projects on pre-1950s homes require period-appropriate door design that no stock manufacturer offers.
