A lot of people ask me- who makes garage doors? How many different varieties are there? How do I know who is a trustworthy garage door producer and who isn't?
Well the answer depends on the type of door you're looking for, and the models, options, and features you want to have. While one company may be just fine for a simple fiberglass door, I wouldn't trust them with classic wood. Or some companies only make some types. Once you've narrowed your choice down, you are looking at a couple of possibilities.
Don't forget also that many of these companies are regional and will only be available in their home state. And you definitely want to patronize someone who is within driving distance of you, so you can check out their doors for yourself before committing to buy.
A good rule of thumb, though, it that Wayne Dalton, Clopay, and Raynor make good fiberglass, hardboard, metal, and wood doors. General AMerican makes decent fiberglass ones, and overhead is pretty good for hardboard and metal. If you're looking for a fancy garage door that actually swings open, you might want to check out Marinor's Doors.
Other than that ,you'll want to check on warrantees for garage doors- you'll want at least a few years for the door and a decade for the springs.
