Make My Garage Door Taller

We had a few contractors in to give us.

Make my garage door taller.

The garage is a total of 24 wide by 24 deep. This would be closer to 10 000. The door track should be easy as well. I have a detached two car garage that is getting up there in years.

That is the easy project as the building is plenty tall for this. The wife wants to replace the two with one 16 overhead garage door. The replacement garage door should be one that hangs above the front of the garage and lowers down from the outside so it doesn t affect the height of the garage. The current breezeway cuts the corners of the door frame.

That made my door height two inches taller. I need to cut the opening to the garage 6 taller. I live in northern new jersey. I had a 2x6 on the flat under the header so i just removed that and cut a half inch off the header.

I would also go a few feet taller this would allow for a taller mudroom whose roof would actually clear the edges of my back door. Knock the garage down and build a garage that s fully attached to the house. An alternative would be a pocket garage door that slides sideways on tracks from within the garage door itself so that again the height or width are not effected.
