Make My Garage Door Taller

Knock the garage down and build a garage that s fully attached to the house.

Make my garage door taller.

I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years. The replacement garage door should be one that hangs above the front of the garage and lowers down from the outside so it doesn t affect the height of the garage. The door track should be easy as well. We had a few contractors in to give us.

The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. That made my door height two inches taller. The current breezeway cuts the corners of the door frame. It has the old style carriage doors.

I removed some siding and and re did the trim on the top of the door and then recovered every thing with aluminum and installed new rubber garage door sill around the opening. I live in northern new jersey. The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof. I would also go a few feet taller this would allow for a taller mudroom whose roof would actually clear the edges of my back door.

An alternative would be a pocket garage door that slides sideways on tracks from within the garage door itself so that again the height or width are not effected. I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller. That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this.
