What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Carriage-House Door?
A sectional door engineered to look like swing-out carriage doors using plank or beadboard panels, optional overlay trim, and decorative hardware (strap hinges, handles, clavos).
Available in insulated steel, steel with composite/wood overlays, or real wood—with glass lites and arch tops to match your façade.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Consult → removal → installation → haul-away under a single PM.
Every configuration: Single/double widths, low-headroom/high-lift tracks, wind-load upgrades.
Occupied-space pros: Floor protection, dust control, tidy wiring, same-day cleanup.
Brand-neutral options: Multiple manufacturers and overlay packages to fit style and budget.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Screenshot/collect front elevation photos (straight-on + angle) for design matching.
Note your panel preference (plank, beadboard, recessed) and window shape (square, arch, prairie).
Decide on material: insulated steel, composite overlay, or real wood (cedar/mahogany).
Call our team—we’ll confirm sizes, headroom, insulation level, and finish options for your carriage door.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Cottage/Craftsman/Spanish/Traditional homes seeking period-correct detail
HOA communities requiring specific colors, window shapes, or hardware
Coastal properties needing corrosion-smart fasteners and finishes
Rooms above garages benefiting from insulated construction and better seals
Curb-appeal makeovers where a door is the dominant front-elevation feature
Design & Site Check
Verify rough opening, headroom, lift path, and jamb condition; protect floors and access paths.
Assessment & Measurements
Capture exact sizes, spring specs, panel layout, window/arch design, insulation level, and overlay/finish selection; document with photos/notes.
Removal & Haul-Away
Safe spring de-tension; remove old panels/tracks/hardware; vacuum debris; responsible disposal.
Professional Installation
Install tracks, hinges, rollers, torsion system; join/level sections; anchor into structural members (not just trim); align overlays and hardware.
Opener Integration (Optional)
Pair with a quiet belt-drive opener (battery backup, Wi-Fi); size opener properly for door weight; align safety sensors.
Seal, Tune & Walkthrough
Fit bottom/perimeter seals, set travel/force limits, lubricate, and train you on use and finish care (wood/composite/steel).
What’s Included
Design consult & measurement (sizes, lift, springs, arch/window spec)
Old door/track removal and haul-away
Carriage-house system install (panels/overlays, tracks, springs, rollers, hardware)
Weather sealing (bottom astragal + side/top seals as specified)
Opener integration (new or existing, if compatible/sized correctly)
Final tune, safety check & homeowner training with documentation
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: Single 3–4 hours; double 4–6+ hours, depending on overlay complexity and site conditions.
Key cost drivers: Door size, material (insulated steel vs. composite overlay vs. real wood), window/arch options, decorative hardware, finish (factory paint/stain vs. custom), opener sizing, coastal hardware upgrades.
Estimate clarity: Line items for door system, overlay/finish, glass package, hardware/springs, opener (if any), installation/haul-away, and optional upgrades (wind-load kit, custom color).
Insurance & Claims Help
Impact/storm damage? We’ll provide before/after photos, measurements, and a cause/damage summary if a claim applies.
Separated scopes: Any temporary securing vs. permanent carriage-house replacement priced clearly.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)

Finish deterioration and corrosion on aging doors—worse in coastal air

Security gaps with compromised frames or glass
Lost curb-appeal ROI and buyer interest when listing or refinancing

Insulated steel: Durable, low-maintenance; optional wood-look textures.

Hardware: Sealed nylon rollers, reinforced hinges/struts, structural anchorage, corrosion-appropriate fasteners for OC.
Glazing: Clear, seeded, frosted/satin, or insulated glass; square/arch lites to match architecture.
Sealing: Bottom astragal and side/top weatherstrips; optional threshold for wind/water.
Compliance/HOA: UL 325 sensors, rolling-code openers; HOA submittal packet support (colors, glass, hardware).
Frequently Asked Questions
Steel/composite vs. real wood—what should I choose?
Steel/composite gives authentic look with low maintenance; real wood offers premium warmth but needs periodic finishing. We’ll price both.
Can I get an arched top or just arched windows?
Both are available. We can do true arch rails or arch-top window lites within a straight top—your call and budget.
Will decorative hardware affect operation?
No—strap-hinges/handles are surface-mounted accents. We install them to clear door travel and maintain balance.
Is insulation worth it for carriage doors?
Yes—insulated cores add rigidity and comfort, especially for attached garages or rooms above.
What about wind and coastal exposure?
We offer wind-load reinforcement and corrosion-smart hardware/fasteners for marine air.
Do you remove and haul away the old door?
Absolutely—safe de-tensioning, removal, and responsible disposal are included.
