For this Novi, Michigan, home, Altech Doors installed matching single and double Haas 770 insulated garage doors in Espresso. Long Raised panels, window-free door faces, and matching perimeter seals create a coordinated appearance across the two garage openings.
The homeowner wanted a darker, streamlined look. The project paired that design preference with new tracks and hardware, 25,000-cycle torsion springs, opener connections, lubrication, and on-site testing.
The garage has a single opening beside a wider double opening. Both doors are prominent against the brick exterior, so the homeowner wanted a pairing that looked consistent across the front of the home.
The original doors were light-colored and had shorter rectangular panel details. The new Espresso doors change both the color and the panel proportions. Long Raised panels create wider horizontal shapes, giving the single and double doors a common design even though their sizes differ.
The Haas 770 doors were selected with insulation and without windows. Their uninterrupted panel faces suit the homeowner’s request for a clean appearance, while the matching perimeter seals help the edges visually blend with the new doors.
This is a useful example for homeowners who want an updated exterior without a flat panel style. A long raised design still has visible panel detail, but its proportions differ from the smaller panels on the original doors. Seeing the two options on the same home makes that distinction easier to assess.
Insulation is another selection to discuss alongside appearance. The best door package depends on how the garage is used, the building around it, and the homeowner’s priorities. Reviewing those priorities with the installer helps homeowners compare door packages beyond their color and panel pattern.
The installation included 25,000-cycle torsion springs. That rating is a specification for the springs, not a promise that the complete garage door system will last a fixed number of years. Homeowners comparing proposals should ask which spring package is included and what maintenance the installed system needs.
Our team prepared the work area and installed the new doors, tracks, and hardware. We connected the doors to their openers, lubricated the doors and operators, removed debris and existing materials, and tested the completed installation on site.
These steps matter when evaluating a replacement quote. A useful proposal should make clear which door components are being replaced and how the door and opener will be put into service together.
The completed photographs show two dark doors with matching panel patterns and no windows. The Espresso finish creates a stronger contrast with the brickwork than the original light-colored doors, while the long horizontal panels provide a consistent design across both openings.
For a home with multiple garage doors, reviewing the doors together can be more helpful than choosing each one in isolation. Color, panel arrangement, window placement, and surrounding trim all contribute to the result.
If you are considering a similar project, discuss both openings when you plan a garage door installation. Bring photos of the exterior and decide whether you want the doors to stand out or blend with nearby finishes. Ask how the proposed hardware and seals fit into the installation scope.
