Not a Pro.

I would go with the 10. I think they work with your windows better.

I like the 4 light with either style. If you’re going more modern, then the flush would work (I’m assuming flush is the 3rd and fourth photo?) Look at a much larger garage light while you’re at it. That little one looks like a blackhead :)

Any thoughts about long panel vs flush?

Yeah, the 10-lite looks like the windows are squinting at me. For me, the last 2 pictures have the panel style that I would prefer. The first 2 are just "eh."

Have you considered doors with no windows which blend into the wall plane as much as possible and don't call attention to themselves?

Our current garage doors have no windows and we were hoping to add light in the new install.

Flush. No windows.

You can order frosted windows to still get light (or use a DIY applied film) . I have frosted windows and would never have a garage door without windows—they let in a lot of light. If you use the frosted effect, you can get the solid door “look”, if you like it, but with the functionality of the windows.

The last one.

JMO: Of your choices I prefer the 4 lite and flush panel.

However, if you are in a hurricane zone, don't get windows in your garage door(s) at all. It destroys the wind mitigation discount so you end up with much higher insurance premiums for your home.

Last pic.

I like the 4 light long panel. Much better look with your house, I think. Also agree you need a much larger light fixture there. One you have is way too small.

Last pic but without windows. The windows make the front look quite busy. That’s just me though, i like the clean and tidy look.

I would go with no dividers and use frosted glass.

You should be looking at the whole house.

I like the four-light best. Either style - which would depend on the rest of the home.

Thanks for all the comments. We wrote up the order and need to let them know soon. It’s a tax-free weekend for us.

Here is the front of the house.

Garage doors are always the least attractive and most scale busting element of any house.

The best strategy is always to do the best possible at making the garage doors as invisible as possible--not dramatizing them and making them a focal point.

It appears the garage is behind the house? Or to the side? Your house is quite traditional so the 4 lite with the panels (second picture) would be better, I believe.

The garage is on the side, underneath.

I don't know what you mean by long panel vs flush, but the four larger windows is the way to go.

Suzy, the first set of doors have panel designs underneath the windows, second set are plain. Husband wants four windows for more light. Style is secondary to him:)

Would plain carriage style doors look out of place?

Gotcha. So I like both styles but the panels look better with your house to me.

I'd consider a light gray door like the roof color. Or maybe something more farmhouse like this one?

btw - Your house and setting is beautiful. How do you get your grass so perfect?

Traditionally try to have individual window panes as vertical rectangles, not horizontal. The extra horizontal muntin bar makes the individual window segments horizontal. Your house has traditional window proportions.

Your house is very traditional and so I think the flush is wrong for it. To me, those work with less traditional styles.

I'd do 4 windows, second picture if these are the only choices.

Suzy, my husband thanks you about the lawn. It’s his pride and joy:)
