Not Every Garage is Standard – Your Garage Door Shouldn’t Be Either
When it comes to your home’s exterior, precision matters. A garage door that doesn’t fit properly doesn’t just look off—it can lead to gaps, drafts, wear issues, reduced security, and wasted energy. The answer? A custom fit garage door—built specifically for your space, style, and functional needs.
At 313 Garage Doors, we specialize in custom-fit garage door design and installation for both residential and commercial clients throughout Metro Detroit. Whether your garage opening is non-standard, oversized, under-sized, or part of a unique architectural layout, we provide tailored solutions that deliver performance, curb appeal, and peace of mind.
Why a Custom Fit Garage Door Is Worth It
Off-the-shelf garage doors might save time—but they rarely deliver the perfect seal, smoothest function, or best appearance. With a custom-fit door, every component is made to measure—resulting in:
Precise fit with no visible gaps
Improved insulation and energy efficiency
Smoother and quieter operation
Enhanced security and weather protection
Custom design that matches your home’s architecture
When fit and finish are non-negotiable, customization is the only choice.
Who Needs Custom Fit Garage Doors?
While nearly anyone can benefit, custom-fit doors are essential for:
Older homes with non-standard garage dimensions
Luxury homes seeking architectural harmony
Homes with arched or angled garage openings
Detached garages and converted buildings
Extra-wide or extra-tall garage spaces
Commercial or industrial doors with unique height or width needs
We also design custom garage doors for car collectors, woodshops, and property investors who want doors that do more than just function—they complete the look and feel of the building.
Custom Fit for Residential Garages
A well-fitting door complements your home’s unique character while delivering durability and performance. We offer:
Single, double, and triple bay doors in any width
Low-clearance track systems for garages with low ceilings
Custom height builds for lifted vehicles, trailers, or RVs
Odd-size conversions for older structures or remodels
Matching design elements for siding, shutters, and entry doors
We ensure that every angle, joint, and panel is designed to your home’s unique dimensions—not a template.
Custom Fit for Commercial Garage Applications
Businesses often require garage doors that are larger, more durable, or precisely sized for industrial use. We build and install:
Dock-height sectional doors
Wide-span roll-up or high-speed doors
Extra-tall clearances for delivery trucks and fleets
Glass storefront garage doors
Custom colors for brand consistency
Side-mounted track systems for low-clearance commercial garages
No matter the demand, we deliver doors that handle heavy use, secure your property, and fit exactly how and where they’re supposed to.
Measuring and Engineering for Custom Fit
With custom garage doors, accuracy is everything. Our team follows a precision measurement and engineering process to ensure optimal results.
Our Process Includes:
Measuring width, height, headroom, side room, and backroom
Assessing floor slope and wall squareness
Evaluating mounting points and framing material
Checking for obstructions like pipes, beams, or shelving
Recommending best-fit track types and opener systems
Once we finalize your measurements, we work directly with leading manufacturers to build your garage door to exact specifications—down to the 1/16th of an inch.
