The framing requirements for a garage door opening are very specific.  If the framing is not done properly you may be looking at additional charges to correct the framing before the installation of your new door can take place.

If you are building your own garage please take a close look at the framing diagram below.  Feel free to print this diagram for your own use.

Please note:  The minimum headroom required is 12" for most doors.  Some Carriage style doors and commercial doors will require 16-18" of headroom above the door height.
