Frequently asked questions
About the Overlay Carriage House
What is an overlay carriage house garage door? How does it compare to a standard carriage house door?
Overlay carriage house doors have panels layered on top of the base door for decoration, whereas other carriage house doors may have patterns stamped directly into the door without overlays.
What should I know about maintaining overlay carriage house garage doors?
Maintenance varies by material. Wood doors need periodic resealing/staining, and all doors benefit from regular cleaning and inspection of hardware.
How do overlay carriage house doors perform in harsh climates?
Quality overlay doors are designed for all climates, but some materials do perform better than others if you live somewhere that gets extremely hot or cold.
Are there any special installation considerations for overlay carriage house doors?
The extra panels make the doors heavier than those without, but door weight varies depending on the material you choose.
Buying, warranty & service
Can I buy directly from C.H.I.?
All C.H.I. doors, parts and accessories are sold through the network of authorized C.H.I. dealers — like us. We install and service them with the same quality C.H.I. builds them with.
Can I order a custom color?
Yes — C.H.I. offers in-house powder coating in 188 colors, plus color-matching for custom colors. Custom colors may add lead time and cost, and availability varies by model. Ask us for options.
What's the warranty?
C.H.I. doors come with a limited lifetime warranty (coverage varies by model — sections, hardware and springs have their own terms). No registration is needed; claims are handled through your local dealer.
What garage door openers do you offer?
We offer residential openers from LiftMaster and Linear, and can supply, install and service them together with your new door.
Can I finance my door?
Yes — simple financing is available for homeowners. Ask us and we will walk you through the options.
Do you offer wind-load rated doors?
C.H.I. offers a range of wind-load rated products, though it does not currently hold Miami-Dade certification. Ask us about wind-rated options for your area.
Can I paint or touch up my door?
Most doors come pre-finished. You can repaint them, and touch-up paint — matched to Sherwin-Williams formulas — is available for every standard color through your dealer.
