New year, new home—right? If you’re looking for a way to enhance your home’s exterior, you may be considering garage door replacement. Carriage style doors are a great option because they are unique and can add visual interest. But what type of carriage door should you install? There are two main types: overlay and stamped.
What’s the difference between them and which one is right for you?

Although stamped carriage garage doors offer less in design options, they tend to be more affordable and more durable. If cost and durability are your top priorities, consider a stamped door. Other than that, both options are beautiful and can add distinct character to your home.
