3 Garage Door Manufacturers Alco Recommends (and Uses)

Many people may not see the garage as an essential part of a home. Still, more homeowners are starting to utilize this space for more than storage or parking. For this reason, impact garage door manufacturers are experiencing somewhat of a resurgence.

With so many vendors to choose from, it can be hard to decide who is most qualified and best fits your requirements. To help narrow down your options, Alco Windows and Doors provides three recommendations of garage door manufacturers' best impact from our experience.

The Modern American Garage

Once upon a time, the sole purpose of a homeowner's garage was to store their car(s). Heck, most people probably still only correlate garages with protecting vehicles from harsh weather and break-ins. But when you think about it, your garage serves as a multi-purpose extension of your home.

Today's modern American garage has become a space for various projects such as painting, woodworking, and remodeling. Some homeowners have even updated their garages to serve as a gym or an office. It is much more than a space to park your car.

If you plan to transform your garage into a multi-functional space, you should first consider updating your garage doors. Here's why.

Why Impact Garage Doors?

Impact garage doors were designed with an essential purpose – protecting homes from the devastating effects of severe weather. While windows and roofing may seem like more obvious choices when preparing for harsh storms, don't underestimate taking similar precautions with your garage door.

When faced in the eye of a storm, impact garage doors can withstand up to 100MPH. These products safeguard your cars, lawn equipment, electronics, and other valuable items stored in this space.

In addition to severe weather protection, impact products have other tremendous benefits such as:

• Energy savings
• Improved security
• Insurance reductions
• Enhanced curb appeal

Alco understands purchasing impact garage doors is a significant investment. It is for that reason we've chosen to only work with the top manufacturers in the industry. With 30+ years of experience, our team can recommend the right products and vendors based on your needs and budget.

It is important to remember that price should not be the sole factor determining your choice of manufacturer. Low-quality options, while less-expensive, will not last as many years or protect your home as well as high-quality doors. In this case, you get what you pay for.
