Rock the Block Season 7 Garage Doors

Overhead Door™ Featured on HGTV

As Seen on HGTV: Overhead Door™ Garage Doors Featured on Rock the Block Season 7

Garage doors played a major role in Rock the Block Season 7, and Overhead Door™ garage doors were featured across all four homes this season. Set in Las Vegas, the latest season raised the stakes with four 5,000-square-foot, single-story homes that included private courtyards, multi-generational suites, and oversized RV garages. Each team had seven weeks and a $275,000 budget to transform identical homes into standout properties designed to win on appraisal.

That setup mattered for more than TV drama. These homes were designed around high-visibility exterior features, and the garage door choices helped shape each home’s curb appeal, functionality, and resale story. On each home, the large, garage doors are not a minor detail - they are a defining architectural element. Overhead Door™ offers styles that span modern glass, insulated steel, faux wood-look fiberglass, and carriage house designs, which made the garage doors a strong fit for the range of design concepts seen throughout the season.

If you are researching 'Rock the Block' Season 7 garage doors, looking for modern garage doors that improve curb appeal, or comparing garage door styles that support home value, this season offered a useful real-world showcase of how different door styles change the look and performance of a home.

Where to Watch the Garage Door Transformations

If you want to see the garage door story unfold on screen, two episodes stand out.

Episode 5 - "Great Reasons To Be Mad" focused on the RV garages, which HGTV described as the largest space in the house. That made it the clearest look at how the teams treated the garage not just as storage, but as a design feature tied to lifestyle and value.

Episode 7 - "Let's Win This" brought the exterior finishes and final appraisal into focus. HGTV’s season recap notes that the finale centered on exteriors, front lawns, and courtyards before the homes were appraised, which is exactly where garage doors have the most impact on first impression and curb appeal. Kim Wolfe and Chelsea Meissner ultimately won Season 7.

Impression Fiberglass^® Collection | Vertical Slat Design | Clay | 8-window

Scott McGillivray and Brooke Hogan selected the Impression Fiberglass^® Collection for their two 16-by-8 garage doors and 12-by-14 RV garage door. The realistic wood-look finish brought warmth and texture to the home's exterior while offering the low-maintenance benefits of fiberglass.

The garage doors work especially well with the home's Modern Hacienda design, complementing the terra-cotta roof, natural stone accents, and Southwestern-inspired color palette. The wood-grain appearance softens the scale of the garage openings and helps create a cohesive, welcoming exterior without competing with the home's architectural details.

Benefit Highlight: Fiberglass garage doors provide the beauty of a wood-look finish without the ongoing upkeep of natural wood. They are resistant to dents, rust, and moisture, making them a durable, low-maintenance option for homeowners who want lasting curb appeal.

Modern Black Plank Garage Doors

Taniya and Drew

Thermacore^® Collection | Flush Design | Black Plank | Vertical Clear Long Windows

Taniya Nayak and Drew Lachey showcased one of the season's boldest design statements with the Thermacore^® Collection, the industry's first Flush Black Plank garage doors for their two 16-by-8 garage doors and 12-by-14 RV garage door, while incorporating an 8-by-8 Modern Aluminum Garage Door at the rear for their wellness spa retreat.

The garage doors reinforce the home's livable luxe aesthetic by creating strong contrast against the exterior materials and emphasizing the clean architectural lines throughout the facade. The dark finish, combined with the vertical windows, adds depth and visual interest while helping the garage become an intentional design feature rather than simply a functional element.

Benefit Highlight: Thermacore^® insulated garage doors combine modern design with energy efficiency. Their insulated steel construction helps improve thermal performance, reduce noise, and enhance comfort, making them ideal for attached garages and oversized openings like RV garages.

Garage Door Trends

1. Garage doors are central to curb appeal

Garage doors can occupy a large share of the front exterior visually, especially on homes with oversized garages. A new garage door can significantly improve a home’s first impression, architectural harmony, and perceived value. That helps explain why the teams on 'Rock the Block' treated garage doors as part of the overall design story rather than an afterthought.

There is also a measurable value argument behind that decision. JLC’s Cost vs. Value Report lists garage door replacement as the top remodeling project nationally for return on investment, with an average job cost of $4,672, resale value of $12,507, and cost recouped of 268%. Exterior projects continue to outperform many discretionary interior remodels.

2. Glass garage doors keep gaining traction

Modern glass garage doors create a cleaner profile, support contemporary architecture, and allow light into the garage. Overhead Door™ emphasizes modern and aluminum glass styles for homes that want a bold statement, while its window guidance also shows how homeowners can balance openness and privacy through glass selection. Tainya and Drew’s home illustrated how a garage door can function as architecture and not just an enclosure.

3. RV garage doors are now part of the design conversation

Season 7 made one thing clear: RV garages are no longer being treated as purely utilitarian. Episode 5 put the spotlight on these large-format spaces, and the homes themselves were designed with RV garages as a core feature from day one. That changes the garage door decision, because once the opening becomes that prominent, the door itself becomes part of the home’s architecture and value story.

How to Choose the Right Garage Door for Your Home

If 'Rock the Block' inspired you to rethink your own garage door, the best place to start is not with color - it is with fit.

Start with style. Overhead Door™ recommends matching the door to the home’s architecture, whether that means modern, carriage house, plank, or classic styling. The right style should reinforce the home, not fight it.

Think about insulation. If your garage is attached, used as a workspace, or exposed to temperature swings, insulation matters. Overhead Door™ insulated garage doors can support comfort, reduce energy loss, and improve durability.

Choose windows with intention. Windows can increase natural light and elevate the look of the door, but the right glass depends on whether you want visibility, privacy, or both. Overhead Door™ offers options ranging from clear glass to obscure and insulated glass.

Pick the right material for your priorities. Steel is durable and widely used. Fiberglass can mimic wood with less maintenance. Aluminum supports lighter-weight modern looks. The right material depends on your climate, budget, and style goals.

FAQ

What garage doors were used on Rock the Block Season 7?

Overhead Door™ garage doors included the Impression Fiberglass Collection Model 7800, Thermacore® insulated steel doors Model 5740, Modern Aluminum Glass Model 9910, and the Carriage House Collection Model 7540. Different teams used different combinations depending on whether they wanted wood-look warmth, modern contrast, full-view glass, or classic curb appeal.

Do garage doors increase home value?

Yes. JLC’s Cost vs. Value Report ranked garage door replacement as the top project for return on investment, with an average 268% cost recouped nationally. That does not guarantee every door pays back equally, but it does show that garage doors remain one of the strongest exterior upgrades for value.

What style of garage door is best for resale?

There is no single answer for every home, but carriage house and modern transitional styles tend to perform well because they balance design appeal with broad buyer compatibility. Carriage house doors feel timeless, while modern plank and glass-forward designs can work well on contemporary homes when the architecture supports them. The key is matching the style to the house,

Final takeaway

Rock the Block Season 7 showed something homeowners often underestimate: garage doors influence more than access. They shape curb appeal, reinforce the home’s architectural style, and can support resale value when chosen well. From fiberglass wood-look designs and insulated black plank doors to aluminum glass and carriage house styles, Overhead Door™ garage doors helped define the look of every home this season.
