Re: Garage doors, your opinions please.
We put roller doors on our garage last year before we left and it transformed the front of the place: looked much cleaner and more modern. The people who bought our house said how much they liked them.
Mind you, we put them in ourselves so they were done properly. It's all in the finishing off, doing decent edges and masticking neatly.
Would never go back to panels - but it IS all a matter of taste. Funnily enough, the manufacturer is Australian!

Your opinions please as we can't make up our minds

You are thinking of selling ?? You've not built yet !! LOL
One opinion is that you must raise the door before backing car out.

Re: Garage doors, your opinions please.
we've got a roller door on our rental (looks ok, BTW) but we're having a panel door on our own home which we are building (and about to move into). We went for the panel door on our 'own' house, purely because the 'panels' match the 'panels' on our wooden front doors, no other reason.
To be perfectly honest, if they'd managed to perfect a 'panel' style roller door then we'd have had one of those as the roller doors are much tidier (less ceiling space and no rails on the garage door ceiling).
I get what you're saying about first impresions but anyone who buys a house going by the style of the garage door is an arse, IMO.
Good luck and don't worry!!!!

Anyway, I've told you - think you should come and live in Elwood/St Kilda area near us
Christ knows why you chose to live in the West ? - might as well be on the moon - which tosser suggested that ?
