(It's a Sears & Robuck home, so the garage and basement are one and the same.) I'm sure you're already doing this, but search craigslist and ebay daily if you have to, and start calling local Demo & Salvage companies to see if they're tearing down any homes in your area with doors that might work. We ended up finding a set of wooden carriage doors from another Sears house up in Boston for $50 and were able to get a local carpenter to restore them and cut them to size for another $200. Yes, they probably cost us more if you add in our little "vacation" to Boston several hours away, but the entire experience was worth it, and once we install the doors this summer, I know that they're going to look fantastic! Good luck! Heather,

We will soon be facing the same dilemma. I, too, prefer the look of wood. For us the deciding factor will probably be how much money we have available to spend. I have read that wood doors don't hold up as well but don't agree since I have seen wood garage doors in our neighborhood that are at least 80 years old that are still in excellent condition. I'm not sure what we will do when the time comes? Hi! We will soon be facing the same dilemma. I, too, prefer the look of wood.

I'm considering a steel carriage style door by Clopay called the Coachman Collection. It will cost approx, $1200-1300 for a 9x7 door, much cheaper than the same door in wood(hemlock). I prefer the wood, but Mr. Door Salesman seems to think steel is the way to go. Any thoughts? Have you priced any of the wooden doors?
