Thanks to Randy of Capelli Design Group, the project we’ve been waiting for is here!
If any of you Dallas/Fort Worth locals would like to have this done for you, while you sit back and relax, please contact Randy his email is [email protected]
I have been scheming of ways to to make my garage doors into faux carriage doors for a while, but our friend Randy did it first! That makes my life SO MUCH EASIER!! Luckily, he and his wife took a ton of pictures too, so that we could feature it on the blog. And, I KNOW you all wanna see how it is done, well, here you go!
We have worked very hard and have spent a lot of time creating this tutorial! This project may not be reproduced on any blog without receiving Remodelaholic’s written permission before posting. If you receive permission, you may use the finished garage door image only, and link back to Remodelaholic for the tutorial. No part of the tutorial may be copied except for personal incidental noncommercial home use. If you build the project, and post about it, please link back to the instructions on Remodelaholic. Thank you.

Garage door opener Springs
**The space that is left at the top of the door in order to be able to operate, can be covered on the door frame (the actual wall portion of the opening) with an extra piece of case molding.
Remember that this could work for single garage doors too. And whatever design you love best you can try to imitate. Look for the carriage doors that you love, I sketched a few random options out, cause I like to sketch, no they are not perfect but you get the idea right? Good.
>Oh wow!!! That is amazing!! Love the new look!
>This is beautiful. And your tutorial is amazing. How sweet of you to provide this info to us.

>Turned out great. Well done.
>How funny that I found this, I want to do a carriage door on my little one car garage. I have one question, with the crossbars..my garage door kind of rolls up..can't explain it..not sure how those crossbars work, does your door roll up? Does this question even make sense? LOL…
>OH MY GOSH! I wish I had a garage so I could do that project. lol. I might have to talk my parents into letting me revamp theirs. WELL DONE!
>Arleen, How many horizontal sections do you have on your door. Randy, who did this project had 4, so it sort- of folds up as it rolls.
If your door actually rolls into like a curl, then you would probably have to accomplish the look with paint… Maybe you will have to send me an image of your garage door,
>superific job
>Wow! I have a carriage house but it has just regular stock doors. I love this idea.
>Wow!!! You have to stop, you're making my "to do" too large

>This is an awesome tutorial and your garage doors turned out FABULOUS! I bet your nieghbors now want some.
I sent this to my husband and he loved it but had one question. We have an older house with older garage openers. How do you determine if your current opener can handle the extra weight?
Thank you!
>SHUT UP! That is amazing! Where did you find your hardware?
>Wow! I think I might have found my blog of the year here!. Your 5R's (I am working on my 4R's) in your header went straight into my heart! I have this weekend saved to read through your blog posts. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work of the garage door re-facing. I came here from Amy's AP Tuesday.
>Wow! What an accomplishment! Your instructions are so thorough too. Very very inspiring. Good for you
>Wow, what a fantastic transformation!
>That is one detailed tutorial. So easy to follow. I love the way your garage doors ended up even though it isn't my style. If I ever end up owning a garage I might try my skills on decorating my garage door and when I do I will let you know.
>Well that is impressive! Curb appeal galore! Nice job.

>Beautiful thank you! Our handyman is working on our front porch door right now! The old door was very mangled and rickety…and he's refitting the space with a beautiful, at least 100 year old, door I rescued from the cellar of a house my mom and I moved. I definitely need to "back date" my carriage house and barn doors too!
Have a wonderful weekend!
