Garage Door Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

New Clopay 4050 Insulated Steel Garage Door Installation

Looking for professional garage door replacement in Philadelphia, PA? Charming Exteriors recently completed a garage door upgrade that transformed an aging, deteriorated wooden garage door into a new white Clopay 4050 insulated steel garage door. This project involved more than simply replacing the existing door. Our team also addressed damaged wood framing, upgraded the garage door jambs, and installed custom aluminum capping to create a cleaner, more finished appearance.

For this Philadelphia homeowner, the goal was to replace the deteriorating garage door while improving the condition and appearance of the entire garage door opening.

Removing the Old Wooden Garage Door and Damaged Framing

The project started with the removal and disposal of the existing damaged wooden garage door and its associated hardware. During the preparation process, deteriorated and rotted wooden jamb uprights and the existing header were also removed.

To prepare the opening for the new garage door installation, our team scraped and painted the existing steel header with Rust-Oleum. This preparation helped address surface rust before proceeding with the new installation.

Properly preparing the garage door opening was an important part of ensuring the new door could be securely installed.

Garage Door Frame Repair and Custom Aluminum Capping

A successful garage door replacement also requires attention to the surrounding structure. For this project, Charming Exteriors installed new masonry-mounted vertical and horizontal garage door jambs to provide the necessary mounting surfaces.

Loose stucco was removed, and lumber was fastened to the existing stone structure. We then installed custom-bent white aluminum capping to cover exposed wood and create a clean, finished appearance around the garage door opening.

These improvements helped prepare the surrounding structure for the new garage door while giving the exterior a more polished look.

New Clopay 4050 Insulated Steel Garage Door Installation

The centerpiece of this exterior improvement project was the installation of a new white Clopay 4050 insulated steel garage door.

The replacement included new outside locking hardware, updated garage door components, and new vinyl jamb weatherseal. Caulking was also applied where necessary to help seal the surrounding transitions and provide a neat finish.

The new steel garage door provides a refreshed appearance while replacing the home’s previously deteriorated wooden door with an insulated garage door system.
