Some glow-ups are subtle. This one definitely got the memo to go bold.
Garage door makeovers might be some of our favorite projects—not just because we love a good before-and-after, but because few things transform this much of a home’s exterior in one shot. And when homeowners see the finished result? That reaction is pretty hard to beat.
This home traded its lighter, more traditional doors for two Raynor AP138s, sized 16’ × 7’ and 10’ × 7’, finished in Black with the Recessed Ranch Smooth pattern and a clean row of Clear Ranch windows across the top. Same house. Same openings. Whole different attitude.
The black gives the exterior a strong new anchor, while the recessed panels keep some of that classic character intact. And those streamlined windows? They bring in the light while giving the doors a much cleaner, more contemporary finish.
It’s a great example of why we love garage door glow-ups so much. You don’t always need to repaint the house, redo the landscaping or reinvent the entire exterior. Sometimes, changing the biggest moving feature on the front of your home is enough to make everything else look new again. From “perfectly fine” to “well, HELLO.”
