Builder Magazine Study Names Overhead Door "Brand Leader" Again


Nation’s Top Homebuilders Identify Best Brands in Garage Door Industry



DALLAS  – Overhead Door Corporation has been named the number one garage door brand for a second year in a row by Builder Magazine’s 2013 Builder Brand Use Study. Since 2008, the company has been recognized each year as a top brand in the garage door industry in at least one category.



A survey of the nation’s largest homebuilders, the 2013 Builder Brand Use study asked participants to rank garage doors by familiarity, use in the past two years, most used and quality. Overhead Door took the top spot in all four categories.



“It is a privilege to once again be recognized by Builder Magazine as the leading manufacturer of garage doors,” said Tim Matthews, Vice President of Residential National Accounts for Overhead Door Corporation. “Knowing that homebuilders prefer our doors validates our commitment to producing high-quality garage door solutions for consumers and the homebuilding industry.”



Builder Magazine has conducted the Brand Use Study every year in its current format since 1995. The study measures 83 different product categories ranging from appliances to windows.



The results of the 2013 Brand Use Study were announced in Builder Magazine’s April Buyers Guide issue, the largest and oldest reference guide in the country. The publication is distributed to more than 10,800 builders across the nation.
