First - this is my first time dealing with a garage door replacement (two actually). So thanks for the patience up front.
I have a two car garage with a basketball hoop in between the two doors (each garage door is about 9' x 7'). I need to replace the doors which are 30 years old. The first local business I went to said I had to use either vinyl or fiberglass with the hoop there, but I shouldn't use steel, as it will dent - that I would need to move the hoop. They are a C.H.I. dealer. The fiberglass doors were $6,000 installed (for 2).
As a quick check I had Overhead Door come out and was told that their steel doors would not dent, and that it would be perfectly acceptable. I am getting a quote for both steel and vinyl from Overhead door (fully installed), but don't have the numbers yet.
Would love to hear everyone's opinions on materials vs denting from the basketball hitting them on occasion. Thank you.
