Over the years, garage door styles have evolved in many different ways. From performing the primary function of granting access to the garage to acting as an entryway into the home, garage doors have increased in importance, and the various styles have expanded to keep pace. Although there are an almost limitless number of choices, there are really four basic garage door styles. They include:
