Make My Garage Door Taller

The door track should be easy as well.

Make my garage door taller.

I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years. I had a 2x6 on the flat under the header so i just removed that and cut a half inch off the header. I removed some siding and and re did the trim on the top of the door and then recovered every thing with aluminum and installed new rubber garage door sill around the opening. It has the old style carriage doors.

I would also go a few feet taller this would allow for a taller mudroom whose roof would actually clear the edges of my back door. I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller. An alternative would be a pocket garage door that slides sideways on tracks from within the garage door itself so that again the height or width are not effected. The current breezeway cuts the corners of the door frame.

Knock the garage down and build a garage that s fully attached to the house. That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this. The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. The garage also needs a new floor and a new roof.

That made my door height two inches taller. The replacement garage door should be one that hangs above the front of the garage and lowers down from the outside so it doesn t affect the height of the garage. We had a few contractors in to give us.
