I am getting ready to order 3 Fatezzi doors. I totally disagree with Allison: My samples look like real wood, so much so that without knowing, anyone would think they were real. Totally amazing. I have seen them IRL and they look awesome. Not even comparable to Cloplay which are $5K more and look like regular garage doors painted brown. I am SO impressed with the doors. I will definitely post pictures when they are up! We are ordering this week and they will be here in 6 weeks.

I notice that the house has very light trim, light painting on the house itself, a sort of medium mix on the brown gray stone and the medium brown wood door and very dark on the roof of the porch, but the garage only has the very light trim and lightish main color. Have you thought about bringing some medium colors over for the garage trim and then making the garage doors a similar medium brown? What material are the garage doors made of? I have had good luck with acrylic paints but you need to match the paint type with the material.

We moved here for my job - chemicals :-). We're just west of New Orleans and the "suburban" towns. I love it, it's very quiet and small-townie, somewhere between suburban and rural. We're close to the river, within walking distance to the levees. It's wonderful! The whole house is under one roof. I will have to get some information on the A/C and the attic - until recently it has been wayyy too hot to do much up there! Our winter project is to go up there and remove whatever the previous homeowners have left behind (of course!!!). The sq. ft. of the house is just under 1700 including the garage. There is a small gap between the sheetrock/paneling and the slab - that is throughout the house under the baseboards so I assume that has to do with needing space between the wall and the concrete for moisture? The second picture is the inside of the garage door. As far as DIY, I'd say that we can do the basic to intermediate (with some practice) projects. When I was younger, my dad was really big into DIY and remodeling houses, so I have done a lot of work on water pipes, electric, flooring, etc. I have enough knowledge to know what I am comfortable doing and what I will need help with from someone more experienced. There are a lot of people I know around here willing to help out with the more "advanced" projects. That's what friends are for, right? Thank you for all your help so far! The bonfire sounds wonderful! Would've been nice the last few nights around here - finally starting to feel like Autumn!!!

Anyone know the site for garage doors painted to look like old cars parked? Thanks!
