The Two-Car Standard Built for Houston Heat
A single 16×7 door replaces what would otherwise need two 8- or 9-foot single doors, giving one clean opening for two vehicles. It’s the size most production Houston homes were framed for, from 1970s ranch houses in the suburbs to newer builds inside the Beltway.
Easy Garage Door Repair has installed, repaired, and maintained 16×7 garage doors across Houston for over 10 years. Our licensed technicians handle the entire replacement, measurement, removal, and installation in a single visit, with same-day emergency service available when you need it.

Material drives price, weight on the opener, dent resistance, and how the door holds up to Gulf Coast humidity and sun. Here’s how the common options compare.
Durable, affordable, low upkeep. Available in 24–27 gauge; heavier gauge resists dents better. Sold single, double, or triple-layer (the outer layers sandwich insulation).
Won’t rust, easy on garage door openers, common in modern full-view or glass-panel styles.
Real grain and custom stains, often used for carriage-house designs. Composite versions resist rot and warping better than solid wood.
Resists dents, rust, and salt-air corrosion; can be molded to mimic a wood-grain finish.
Dent-resistant, won’t rust or rot, good for households with kids or sports equipment nearby.
Raised-panel (the traditional look), flush/flat panel (modern, minimal), and carriage-house (hinge and handle hardware styled after swing-out barn doors, though the door still rolls up).
Optional glass inserts across the top section, from small square panes to full-width runs. Frosted, tinted, or clear glass, in shapes that match the panel style.
Factory paint in standard or custom colors, faux wood-grain laminate finishes, and stainable wood composite for a natural look.
Decorative handles, hinge straps, and clavos (round stud accents) that read as functional carriage hardware even on a roll-up door.
Garage door insulation comes in single layer, double layer, and triple layer builds, and the right choice depends on how your garage connects to the rest of your home and how much of Houston’s heat and humidity you want to keep out.
Single layer doors offer the least protection and are best suited to a detached garage used only for parking. A 16 foot wide panel has a lot of surface area for outside temperatures to move through, so on an attached garage this option rarely makes a real difference on your energy bill.
Double layer doors add a foam core that cuts down on outside noise and slows heat transfer enough to keep the garage noticeably more comfortable. For most Houston homes with an attached garage, this is the level that balances upfront cost against real energy savings.
Triple layer doors use a thicker insulating core for the highest protection available, holding back both heat and sound. They cost more than the other two options, but if a bedroom, home gym, or workshop sits next to or above your garage, the extra insulation earns its keep year round.
Easy Garage Door Repair offers a wide selection of 16×7 standard garage doors in various styles, wood types, and colors, compatible with modern garage door openers.
We serve Houston and nearby areas in Texas. Our expert team provides complete guidance, installation, repair, and replacement for your 16×7 door, helping you find the perfect fit for your two-car garage.
Every 16×7 door installation is backed by real credentials, licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work.
Our technicians work with 16×7 standard doors across Houston every week and are experts on sealing and finishing them for our humidity, not a generic national spec.
BBB accredited, featured on Best Pick Reports, and rated 5.0 by the homeowners we’ve actually built and installed wood doors for- not a marketing claim we made up ourselves.
Measure the rough framed opening, not the driveway or the existing door. If the width between the side jambs is close to 16 feet and the header gives you close to 7 feet of clearance, you have a 16×7. We confirm the exact measurement on-site before ordering, since older Houston homes can be off by an inch or two from the nominal size.
Not for a straight swap, same size, same spot. If you’re changing the opening or doing structural work, that can trigger permit rules depending on your city. We’ll tell you if yours applies.
Usually, but it depends on your opener’s horsepower and how heavy the new door is. A wood door or a three-layer insulated door weighs more than basic steel. We check this as part of the quote.
Yes. If your opening doesn’t match standard sizes, or a remodel changed your garage, we can order a custom door. It just takes longer to build than a stock 16×7.
