Carriage House Garage Doors

Carriage house garage doors give a Colorado home that classic swing-out barn door look, without actually swinging out. Today’s carriage house doors are steel or composite overlay, roll up like any other door and skip the sanding and staining a real wood door needs. Our veteran-owned Colorado Crew measures, helps you pick a design and installs them across Parker, Castle Rock and the Front Range. Right now you can get up to $500 off a new garage door.

Our top pick: Amarr Classica

Classica is Amarr’s stamped-steel carriage house collection, and it’s the door we recommend most often for this look. It uses three taller sections instead of the four most garage doors have, which gives it a more authentic carriage house look and room for larger windows.

• Seven designs: Tuscany, Valencia, Cortona, Lucern, Northampton, Bordeaux and Santiago, permanently stamped into the steel.
• Insulation: single-, double- or triple-layer construction with polystyrene or polyurethane insulation. Insulated R-values run from R-6.64 to R-13.35, according to Amarr.
• Colors: 13 factory paint colors, including woodtone looks like Walnut, Mahogany and Golden Oak, plus two-tone options and over 800 Sherwin-Williams colors through Amarr Color Zone.
• Windows: closed arch or closed square tops, six DecraTrim window inserts, DecraGlass designs, and clear, obscure, frost, dark tint or insulated glass.
• Hardware: decorative handles and hinges to finish the look. One style is even called Castle Rock.
• Finish and options: heavy-gauge steel with a 5-layer paint system, WindPro wind load reinforcement and the Quiet Door option (up to 38% quieter, varies by model).

Other carriage house doors we install

• Amarr Hillcrest: stamped-steel carriage house designs at a great value. Single-, double- or triple-layer, with insulated R-values from R-6.48 to R-9.05 and 12 factory colors.
• Amarr Carriage Court: 18 designs with 5/8" thick composite overlay trim on insulated steel-backed sections (R-6.48). Amarr says the overlay, made from reclaimed wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer, resists rot, decay and fungal growth.
• Amarr Designer’s Choice: the most energy-efficient Amarr carriage house door, with polyurethane insulation and R-values of R-13.35 to R-19.40.
• DoorLink Carriage House: Grooved Panel and Long Grooved Panel doors in 24-gauge steel (R-6.85 insulated) or a 2" insulated 3-layer panel (R-10.25), plus Carriage Creek composite overlay doors (R-10.25). See our DoorLink garage doors page.

Why carriage house doors work in Colorado

• Cold mornings: if your garage is attached or there’s a bedroom above it, pick an insulated triple-layer door like Classica, Designer’s Choice or DoorLink’s 3-layer models.
• Front Range wind: Parker, Castle Rock and the Elbert County plains get real wind. We’ll check whether your door needs wind load reinforcement to meet local code.
• Sun and snow: a factory-finished steel or composite overlay door doesn’t need sanding and restaining every few years the way a real wood door does in our high-altitude sun.
• HOA-friendly: carriage house looks fit a lot of Douglas County neighborhoods, and we’ll give you the door details your HOA asks for.
