  • Should I Paint My Garage Doors?

Should I Paint My Garage Doors?

Have you ever seen a home without a garage door?  Probably not, because they come standard on the homes we have.  Here in Davis, and all over the Sacramento area, they are typically a prominent feature of the home.  Some have more than one.  Some are metal, some are wood, but we all have them.  If I could design the neighborhoods we live in, there would be allies, and all the garage doors would be hidden.  I don’t get to do that, so a lot of us have garage doors that are the first thing we see on our homes.  Because they are a prominent part of our home, they need to look good.  We get asked a lot “do I need to paint my garage door?”

The answer to that question is not just yes or no.  If you have a wood door, you need to protect it, either with paint or stains and sealers.  It is critical to keep the wood protected.

If you have a metal door the answer is maybe.  Most metal garage doors come with a factory baked finish.  This is the most durable finish you can get, and it comes in a few different colors.  Most of the new doors you see are white.  The problem is that a lot of people want their garage doors to disappear, or not stick out like a giant eyeball on the front of their home.  So we paint them to match the rest of the house.  You don’t have to paint the whole house just because you had to replace your garage door.  At Brooks Painting we do small jobs all the time.  Don’t hesitate to call us to paint your new garage door.  We also have stained many wood Carriage House doors for clients.  They need to be sealed on all six edges before being installed, or they can warp.  They also require special clean coats to last longer than a normal varnish.  Call us for a free estimate for your garage door or any painting needs, in Davis, Woodland, or Sacramento. 530-753-5074

We are long time happy customers with many positive experiences with Brooks Painting. We have appreciated the assistance (and patience) with selecting paint colors, the professionalism of the staff and the high quality of workmanship. We recently had some interior painting done and the crew was on time, neat, careful inside the house and very easy to work with. They also cheerfully handled some unexpected drywall repair. I highly recommend Brooks Painting.

Brooks Panting Inc. just finished painting the exterior of our house. The crew did a terrific job. The house is a mid century modern with redwood paneling and an unusual amount of trim work. The Brooks crew was efficient, the quality of the painting was exceptional and the work was completed on time! Because of the age of the house several panels needed to be replaced. Brooks had the expertise to closely match the new paneling with the old paneling. I would not hesitate to recommend this company. They are professionals!

The crew is as neat and reliable as the actual painting job and paint used. No boom boxes!! Cordial staff spoke English. The crew got along with each other and worked as a team. The actual finish is / was beautiful. We would like to use Brooks again!

I wanted to have my kitchen cabinets painted but knew that that was a job that required skill and expertise. I called Brooks Painting and the experience from start to finish was perfect! Everyone I dealt with was personable and good at their jobs. They spent time answering questions, explaining the exact process, and did the work precisely as promised. They even did a few other small jobs (repairing and painting 2 water damaged ceilings) to perfection. And everything was neat and clean when they left! And the cabinets – better than I could have hoped for. Esteban is a master craftsman who was meticulous in every aspect of his work. The finish is smooth as glass with no imperfections. I couldn’t be happier!

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

It was fun working with Chris and his crew. I’ve never had a contracted job go so smoothly from start to finish. The office was responsive to my needs, Corey was patient and helpful while I made color choices, and Chris made sure I was happy with the crew’s work every step of the way. Gabriel does amazing work as well. Very much a perfectionist like Chris. I don’t have a bad thing to say. The job is absolutely stunning and I’ve had so many neighbors tell me it’s beautiful. I’m happy to put one of your signs in my front yard if you’d like so people know as they drive by who did the work. Thank you Brooks Painting. I will be recommending you to anybody who asks.

Mark and the team from Brook’s Painting are exceptional at their jobs. We recently renovated a 5000sqft home and they did all the painting. Their attention to detail and investment in our project is so appreciated, and we knew we were in good hands with them. The value they add by identifying issues, making suggestions and going the extra mile to deliver quality work and make sure we are happy with our home is such a breath of fresh air. I would hire this team and company for any future work in a heartbeat and can’t say enough how amazing they are!
