Before: An Exposed and Useless Carport
Custom Wood Garage Door for A Sloping Ground Carport Conversion
A useless carport area can be converted into a functional garage, complete with functional automatic garage door and fully enclosed. Carport conversions not only add curb appeal to a home but can increase property value and add additional, usable square footage that can be listed when the property is sold at a later date.
The space under this home was used as nothing more than an exposed carport for decades since the original construction was finalized. It offered absolutely no secure storage area for cars, tools, etc. and worst of all, it was hindering the curb appeal of this gorgeous Mid Century Modern home. One of the challenges the owner faced was the lopsided, awkwardly sloping ground that prevented the carport conversion to become a reality. After close examination of the project, our in-house designers came up with a working solution that offered not only a functional garage door but an architecturally-correct garage door design that blended well with the home's Mid Century Style. The wood garage door was crafted with a slanted bottom section to accommodate the sloped angle when fully closed. Achieving this design aspect plus the functional portion of the custom garage door was a challenge but not an impossible task for our garage door designers, craftsmen and installation technicians.
Once complete, this useless carport area was fully enclosed with glass walls and a fully functional Dynamic Garage Door with a fine-lined design that harmonized well with the Mid Century Modern style of the home. The wooden planking was stained an ipe-like color to coordinate with the existing color scheme and uplifting the curb appeal and overall value of the home. Now the homeowner can enjoy a private, enclosed garage to safely park inside and store all sorts of tools and items behind closed doors. On the exterior the new garage door simply looks like it was part of the home's original plans.

Composite Wood Carriage Garage Doors
Composite Wood Custom Designed Garage Doors & Real Carriage Doors
Swinging carriage doors are a great solution for garages that have been converted to man caves, playrooms, home offices or art studios. They are easily operated by hand or motorized depending on your preference.
These custom designed Mediterranean style carriage doors were crafted in eco-friendly composite wood materials finished by hand in a faux-wood-stain to look like real wood. Composite wood materials for building carriage doors are especially beneficial in harsh climate environments because unlike some wood species they won't crack, bow or split when exposed to the elements. Maintenance is less frequent and the overall look is as close as it can possibly to real wood, in other words, if you didn't know our custom composite wood carriage doors were not real wood, you couldn't tell the difference!
These carriage doors were perfectly decorated with authentic architectural iron hardware which include speakeasy grills, iron-forged pulls and fully functional cane bolts and deadbolt with secure keyed entry. There are gorgeous diamond-shaped clavos at the end of each tongue and groove plank to further elaborate and establish its authentic Mediterranean Architectural Style!

Traditional craftsman style carriage garage doors are making a comeback for various reasons. They offer convenience, architectural beauty and durability. This carriage garage door system designed, crafted and installed by Dynamic Garage Door features two sets of double outswing real carriage doors that separate the pre-existing double car opening into pedestrian sized manageable doors.

The overall design was borrowed from the traditional craftsman styles of historical American heritage. The large window panes allow ample natural light to reach the interior of the garage while offering a view to the outdoors from inside the office-converted garage. Carriage garage door projects like this are our specialty and we work closely with each individual client to achieve the utmost exclusive carriage door designs that offer functionality and curb appeal that is second to none!
Garage Door to Carriage Door Conversion
Real Out-Swing Carriage Garage Doors Handmade in Solid Wood
Garage conversions can be exciting because of the unlimited possibilities that can done. Some might convert their garage to a playroom for the kids, a man cave, entertainment room or for a much needed home office. The question is what to do with that old rollup garage door that gets in the way of the interior design? The answer is...roll back time and replace that garage door with real functional carriage doors that will give you that pedestrian access you're looking for while eliminating all the excess needed by a regular garage door!
Our custom designed carriage doors for garage conversions are crafted much like front door systems. We build them with the highest level of craftsmanship and ease of use you would expect from an entry door. Because our carriage doors are crafted by hand it is easy to oversee quality during the manufacturing process ensuring that the end result is perfect.
This carriage garage door system was handcrafted in solid mahogany wood in a traditional craftsman style to accentuate the home's 1940's traditional bungalow style. Since the garage was converted into a home office it was important to shower the interior with natural light so we added large glass panes at the top of the carriage doors to allow enough light to brighten the space with as much natural light as possible. Each carriage door panel has a hand-forged iron pull with roller a roller catch and keyed deadbolt. There is full perimeter weather around the doors as well as a threshold seal at the bottom to keep the weather, bugs and dust outside while keeping the interior temperature stable. Since the existing overhead pergola was crafted in redwood we stained the mahogany carriage doors to match on point making the project a harmonious success!
Let us know how we can design, craft and install the carriage doors that will make your garage conversion a unique retreat in your very own home!
