Each house features installed building products designed for beauty, functionality and efficiency, so that homeowners have the benefit of a hands-on experience.
“MainStreet America® is a great project for us to be involved with because it gives us the opportunity to show consumers the broad range of Overhead Door garage doors, which can complement any style of home, from modern aluminum to custom wood to carriage house steel doors,” said Joe Dachowicz, Overhead Door’s vice president of marketing. “Once inside the garage, visitors can also try out some of the industry’s most advanced garage door openers, like the Overhead Door Destiny® 1200 and the Odyssey® 1000. Both deliver powerful, fast, quiet performance while featuring bright lighting and an optional accessory that assures homeowners that the garage door has closed.”
