Steel Garage Doors

Steel doors resist weather corrosion better than other materials, especially when properly galvanized and finished. They also provide excellent wind resistance for storm season and require minimal maintenance in our humid, salty environment.

We recommend galvanized steel with powder-coated finishes or specialized professional-grade paints. These finishes provide maximum protection against weather corrosion and maintain their appearance longer in Austin's challenging environment.

Yes, steel doors can be insulated with various materials to improve energy efficiency. This is especially important in Austin where proper insulation helps maintain comfortable temperatures and reduces energy costs.

With proper maintenance and professional-grade materials, steel doors typically last 15-25 years in Austin's environment. This is significantly longer than wood doors and comparable to other materials, but with better weather resistance.

Steel doors require minimal maintenance, but in Austin we recommend regular cleaning to remove salt deposits, inspection for corrosion, and touch-up painting as needed. We provide maintenance schedules specifically designed for professional conditions.
