New Garage Doors: Shopping, Selection & Professional Installation
A new garage door is the single biggest thing you can do to boost your home's curb appeal and everyday convenience, and choosing the right one shouldn't feel overwhelming. Since 1977, Doors of Pontiac has helped Oakland County homeowners and businesses pick, order, and install the perfect door from our Waterford Township showroom. We're a family-owned and operated company, not an out-of-state call center, so you'll work with neighbors who know Michigan homes, Michigan weather, and Michigan budgets.
Whether you're replacing a tired, dented panel door or building new, our factory-trained technicians walk you through every material, style, and brand in person. We measure precisely, order correctly, and install professionally, often the same day where possible. With a 4.9-star rating from more than 1,500 reviews, we've earned our reputation one satisfied driveway at a time. Ready to start? Call 248-666-9777 or request your free estimate today.
Choosing the Right Garage Door Material
The material you choose shapes your door's look, maintenance, insulation, and longevity. We stock all six popular materials so you can compare them side by side in our showroom rather than guessing from a website photo. Our team helps you weigh upfront cost against decades of Michigan performance.
Not sure which fits your home and budget? Bring us a photo of your house and we'll narrow it down in minutes. Call 248-666-9777 to talk materials with a real expert.
- Steel: the most popular choice, durable, low-maintenance, and available insulated for better R-value
- Wood: rich, authentic beauty and custom carriage looks, ideal for traditional and historic homes
- Aluminum: lightweight and rust-resistant, great for wide openings and modern full-view designs
- Fiberglass: resists dents and salt-air corrosion while mimicking natural wood grain
- Vinyl: nearly indestructible and kid- and pet-friendly, a smart pick for busy families
- Glass: sleek contemporary panels that flood the garage with natural light
Garage Door Styles & Design
Style sets the tone for your whole exterior. We build doors in three timeless design families, each fully customizable with window inserts, decorative hardware, colors, and finishes so your door complements your home instead of clashing with it.
Carriage house doors deliver that swing-open barn-door charm with the convenience of modern overhead operation, perfect for colonials and farmhouse-style homes. Contemporary doors pair clean aluminum or glass panels with minimalist lines for newer builds and modern remodels. Traditional raised-panel doors offer classic, versatile good looks that suit nearly any neighborhood in Oakland County.

Trusted Brands & Smart Openers
We install only proven, name-brand doors backed by strong manufacturer warranties, including Raynor, Safe-Way, Amarr, C.H.I., and Wayne Dalton. That means you get quality steel gauges, tested spring systems, and replacement parts that will still be available years from now, something big-box specials rarely promise.
A new door is the perfect time to upgrade your opener, too. We install and service Genie and LiftMaster openers with the features today's homeowners want: quiet belt drives, smartphone control through MyQ, battery backup so you're never stranded during a Michigan power outage, and safety sensors with auto-reverse to protect kids, pets, and vehicles. Every install includes properly balanced torsion or extension springs, fresh cables, smooth rollers, and tight weather seals.
Ask us which brand and opener combination fits your goals. Call 248-666-9777 for a free, no-pressure recommendation.
Built for Michigan Weather
Oakland County winters are hard on garage doors. Freezing temperatures, heavy snow loads, and road salt tracked in on every tire test cheap doors and hardware to their limits. We select and install doors engineered for exactly these conditions, so yours keeps working when the thermometer drops.
Insulated steel doors with polyurethane cores deliver higher R-values that keep your garage, and any rooms above or beside it, noticeably warmer while trimming energy bills. Corrosion-resistant hardware, galvanized springs, and tight bottom and side weather seals block drafts, blowing snow, and salt spray. Proper spring sizing means your door lifts reliably even on the coldest mornings.
This is the local knowledge an out-of-state chain simply can't match. Ask about our insulated options when you call 248-666-9777.

FAQ — New Garage Doors: Shopping, Selection & Professional Installation
How much does a new garage door cost in the Pontiac and Waterford area?
Price depends on size, material, insulation, windows, and opener choice, so we provide a free, in-home measure and written estimate before you commit. A basic single steel door costs far less than a custom insulated carriage-house build. Call 248-666-9777 for a no-obligation quote tailored to your home.
Can you install a new garage door the same day?
Often, yes. Many standard doors and openers we stock can be installed same-day or next-day after measuring. Custom sizes, colors, and materials are ordered from the manufacturer and installed as soon as they arrive. We'll give you a clear timeline up front so there are no surprises.
Should I insulate my new garage door in Michigan?
For most Oakland County homes, yes. Insulated steel doors with polyurethane cores hold heat better, quiet the garage, resist dents, and lower energy bills, especially if you have living space above or beside the garage. We'll recommend the right R-value for your setup during your free estimate.
Do new garage doors come with a warranty?
Yes. We install name brands like Raynor, Safe-Way, Amarr, C.H.I., and Wayne Dalton, all backed by strong manufacturer warranties on panels, springs, and hardware, plus our own workmanship guarantee. Because we're local since 1977, we're here to honor coverage and service your door for years to come.
