Can’t you get rid of the heavy wooden garage door & get a more lightweight door? It would be less stress on the motor. Especially when freezing rain adds weight to the heavy wood.

A lightweight insulated door is definitely a good investment if you’re going with a garage door opener. Keeps the garage a little warmer as well.

Everyone on our street has replaced their wooden doors for a light weight door. EVERYONE on our street HAS A WHITE garage door. When they have their houses painted they have the color scheme to match a white garage door. So everyone's homes on our street look basically the same even though a different style. BORING!! Our house is brick but it has a colored trim to blend the red brick and roofing color. Get what I'm leading up to. I will not get the garage door opener if it leads to a new double door. Also the windows on our old door are much bigger than the newer ones. And I've replaced all but one with plexiglass. Son breaking them several years ago playing ball in the drive-way..lol
OK..thanks..I discussed our discussion with my husband. He said he didn't have a problem even with a new door if it had windows but we'd have to have our guy who does our painting to come paint the new door. He said he didn't have a problem with that if its what I want. So to wrap this up....THANKS I just might get a new door and an opener...then call the painter back.
