Here in Florida, the hot sun and humid air have a lot of homeowners regularly maintaining, updating and changing the exteriors of their homes. Recently, we have seen Spanish style homes, old plantations and coastal cottages completely transformed into minimalist, contemporary homes. So, the contemporary garage door is very popular.
The style is incredibly chic when the job is done correctly. But, we’ve noticed one big oversight on a lot of the jobs – the garage door.
The Garaga California Series
That’s why we were so excited when Garaga asked us to take a look at their wide variety of garage doors. Their “California” series has clean, contemporary lines that would be the perfect finishing touch on for anyone remodeling a home with a contemporary facade.
Using simple materials like steel and glass, these garage doors have a high-end look that begs to be looked at instead of ignored.

If you’re working on a contemporary makeover, be sure that your plan includes the garage door. And, don’t be afraid to color outside the lines and incorporate ideas like a garage door instead of a standard patio door.
