Garage door materials differ in cost, upkeep, and durability. Here's how the main options compare.

Steel and Aluminum

Steel is the most popular choice for its strength, low maintenance, and range of insulated options. Aluminum is lighter and rust-resistant, making it a good fit for large doors and coastal-influenced climates.

Wood and Composite

Real wood offers a premium, custom look but needs regular refinishing. Composite and faux-wood doors capture much of that appearance with far less maintenance, which appeals to many South Bay homeowners.
