Choose a finish with physical samples and keep the surface clean with gentle care.

Finish tiers

Composite carriage house doors come in four levels of finish. Solid colors are included. Clear grain and knotty grain collections add a woodgrain finish. Oak grain and weathered collections are premium finishes. Free physical samples are available and required before ordering, because screens and lighting change how color and grain look.

  • Solid colors: included
  • Clear grain and knotty grain: woodgrain upgrade
  • Oak grain and weathered: premium upgrade

Compare the grain collections

Cornerbrook offers clear and knotty grain collections. Shoreline adds oak grain options. Bridgewater offers clear and knotty grain collections. Weathered finishes are also shown in the composite range. Available finishes depend on the selected collection and design.

Use physical samples

Screen colors and project photography vary with lighting. Approve a current sample for the actual grain and finish. Steel woodtones, composite Wood Color Effects, and real-wood finishes are distinct products.

Clean gently

Custom Garage Doors USA recommends warm water, mild soap, and a microfiber cloth. Do not pressure wash the door. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your exact finish and consult them before using a touch-up product.

Review exposure and warranty

Tell the supplier about coastal salt air and severe exposure before choosing a finish. Custom Garage Doors USA’s FAQ includes a saltwater-proximity warranty exclusion; request the current written warranty and confirm eligibility for your address.

Protect your finish warranty

The composite carriage house finish is warranted for ten years against peeling or loss of adhesion in residential single-family homes. Customer-applied finishes, surface rust, chips, scratches and damage from salt-water exposure are not covered. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, and never pressure wash.

How do I get a price?

Select the series, model, design, finish, glass, and opening dimensions. The final quote confirms product options, fit, freight, and installation scope before ordering.

Are all finishes and windows available on every model?

No. Model, panel style, dimensions, and finish affect availability. Use the series brochure as a starting point and have the final combination confirmed in writing.
