"The garage door manufacturer required a $2500 deposit and was involved with the garage remodel starting June 2013 regarding measuring the openings while framing/stucco/drywall was in progress. We did request a vertical V grooved exterior appearance.
Manufacturing and Install:
The doors they manufactured and brought to the home were a manufactured paint-grade manufactured wood doors, looked VERY heavy & bulky (qualities we had never requested)  otherwise nothing special from the outside. The windows were single-pane.When they installed them I noted that the doors did not seal around all the edges equally, leaving gaps (1/2-3/4") along an area of the side/top of the doors, that will allow for small rodents or leaf blower projected debris to enter the garage readily. Elk Grove Overhead Doors made some adjustments, then blamed the situation on the stucco/framing and stated it is the best they could do, leaving me with uneven significant gaps around both doors.
Now after the initial rain exposure ( moisture only since they are protected by an eave)  it ALSO appears the exterior surface of the doors is starting to have blister-like but deep bubbles ( I would guess delaminations of the manufactured wood product) in several small areas, and the wood appears to be delaminating (flaking superficial layers at several of the V-grooves.
Openers and door function:
When they attached the openers my wife and I were alarmed how loud and 'clunky' the doors/openers were! Sounds like a castle draw-bridge being retracted with big chains. Since our garage doors are near our neighbor's master bedroom we had erroneously expected the new doors to be less noisy than the older doors we had. They installed chain drives ( instead of belt drives) which they stated they needed to use because of the heaviness of the doors. They stated most of the noise was the chain drive.Again, we never asked for  heavy doors. It appears as if  the doors are striking the middle rail when initially opening though they assured us it only looked that way. I was dismayed that these type of details were not worked out on paper before manufacturing and install since they were involved early in the garage remodel.
The wheels in the tracks intermittently squeal and sound as if they are not properly riding in the rails.
Corrective actions:
 
Initially after install and before full payment was made Elk Grove Overhead Door came back and "adjusted" the doors assuring us that they were fine and were not striking the railing and that they were not responsible for the door and wall leaving gaps.  Since they were been paid in full, they responded to my telephone call and promised to come out and take a look what they could do to make us satisfied with their product. They were a no-show for that appointment; since then I have made several telephone calls to John with our concerns and dissatisfaction with the doors and the noisy functioning; he has been apologetic and verbally responsive with promises that they would call me back the following day or week to set up a time to come out to make things right.  Several excuses later, (only after I called them and reminded them they had not called back to schedule repairs as they had promised) and 7 months after installation and payment we have new noisy doors that don't seal, sound like they are breaking/not functioning right and now the material they are made out of appears to be blistering and flaking. Wondering how soon I will need to replace the opener or door??
Nice polite people, but I would avoid Elk Grove Overhead Door at any price; my opinion is the new acquired headaches and expenses that come with the doors are not worth it.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

Yes, many providers offer reinforced steel, fire-rated, and electronic access doors for businesses.

Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.
