Overhead Door Company of Sioux City Blog

The corporate Overhead Door blog covered this recent blog post about how some criminals are using toys in their attempts to learn how to hack into garage doors. The topic is important to cover for our Sioux City and Yankton garage door clients, and we wanted to share the video here.

Traditional Exterior by Seattle Furniture & Accessories GR Home/Graciela Rutkowski Interiors Summer is a great time to clean garage doors. Luckily, washing your residential garage door isn't hard or complicated, and in the summer with the right volunteers, it can even be fun. Here's how to clean garage doors.

Garage curb appeal is more important than you think. With garages taking up as much as 30% of a home's street-facing exterior, they are an important element to consider when designing or remodeling your home's exterior. Our bias excluded, how you decide to cover your garage bay is an important decision that must be thoughtfully considered. Types of materials, number and style of windows, and color are just a few ways to get you started.

We were a little hesitant to showcase white garage doors in this patriotic garage door color series. I mean white garage doors are everywhere, and not always brilliantly. We carefully selected these examples to showcase how beautiful white garage doors can be when done purposefully. These aren't stock doors that are placed on a home and checked off a list; these doors were designed and added to a garage with just the right shade of white in mind. (Think there aren't that many shades of white? Just ask our design team).

If you've been reading our Patriotic Garage Door series, you already know how red garage doors can make a bold statement. In this post, we'll show you how different homes throughout Siouxland and the country have harnessed the cool influence of blue. Blue, the color of sky and oceans, is widely considered the favorite color of most of the world's people. Rarely found in fruits and vegetables, blue represents dependability, cleanliness, and peace--all qualities we would love to come home to.

We're celebrating patriotic colors this month in an effort to show how bright, primary colors on garage doors can look both stunning and appropriate on homes in our Sioux City and Yankton neighborhoods. Today we focus on the powerful impact of a red garage door which, when done artfully, can transform a cookie cutter ranch-style house into a purposeful addition to the neighborhood aesthetic.

July isn't just about the Stars and Stripes, it's also about the red, white, and blue. Our next blog posts will showcase how Siouxland and Yankton could benefit from adding our nation's bold color palette to their garage doors. We'll show it by using homes who have already blazed the color trail and describing why their particular design aesthetic is successful.

When you sit down to do it, you can either make a bucket list or you can break a bucket list. Walter Thomas, a 91-year-old from Illinois, did both. And in reverse.

We know that Sioux City is flushed with homes that can in many ways be described as "traditional". Built from 1960 to 1980, these homes featured a prominent, forward-facing garage door and a straight driveway to the street. If you have a contemporary design streak, these traditional ranch and split-level homes can feel a little restrictive in their curb appeal if you stick with "what's always been done." This is where Overhead Door of Sioux City comes in. Because a garage door can say a lot about the house that surrounds it, we have been encouraging our Yankton and Sioux City clients to think outside of the traditional box. There are so many materials and design elements right now that push the envelope while still offering cohesive curb appeal. Check out these three materials and then pop over to our Design Center to see how a contemporary garage door could look on your traditional Siouxland home.
