Didn't think about but noticing that's the case now that you bring it up after looking at these pics... Will be sure I check that out when they install the new one that they properly did this!

Was able to get back out to the house to get a better pic from the inside with the door closed. More clear the issue here it seems. Will update with the new door when it arrives to see how it looks with the different panels.

For more clarification, it's a new subdivision with lots of homes going up with this builder, so they said they'd just be moving it over to another home in progress. They also said they expect no issue having it done in time for the house closing so I guess they know what they're doing.. I hope!

Yes, 16x7 door - 4 pieces (steel?) - with the cedar attached to it.

We're less than 2 weeks from closing so they're ready to be done with this (15 month) new build... at this point, it's pretty much "do what it takes to close this out" - lucky us.... (but this is just one of many issues)

Builder supplied, living in Dallas Tx area Builder said they measured wrong and put the framing too high - said he'd never seen that in his 25 years of building

Quick update - got the builder to commit to replacing with a custom, taller door. I believe they're doing 3 x 21" panels + 1 x 24" instead of 4 x 21"

This is my preferred option - the builder said he's talking to his framer today which doesn't tell me that's what's likely. I think it'll look like garbage any other way.

Maybe this helps Top red line is where the garage trim ends Bottom line is top of the door In-between is open space

Sorry, not the best picture due to shadows, but believe that on the sides, it becomes clear the opening is "too big"

Doing a new construction home... builder made a big oopsie. We have a standard single-door 2-car garage. The door is a 7' door in height. It appears the builders built the opening too large, it's about 7'4" even with all the framing and such. There's a gap at the top of the door when closed...
