Project Description
Ellie and Jared Mecham chose Wayne Dalton’s Carriage House Steel Model 6600 with a modern Somerset panel design to enhance the aesthetic of their custom family home
Popular social media influencers Jared and Ellie Mecham, whose YouTube channel has more than 1.5 million followers, got their start in 2014 when they began fostering an online community covering topics such as family, parenting, kids, marriage, home building and more. Fast forward seven years, Ellie and Jared now work with reputable brands such as Disney, Target, and Best Buy and are a staple in the online influencer community who actively engage in the couple’s everyday life, projects and the products they recommend. Recently, the couple chose Wayne Dalton’s Carriage House Steel Model 6600 garage doors with a Somerset design and Stockbridge window option to complete their new custom-built home in St. George, Utah.
“As people who have built a reputation for being transparent about the ups and downs of everyday life, Ellie and Jared are fully acquainted with partnering with reliable and distinguished brands to put together reliable information for homeowners and families,” said Alexandria Ligorotis, Brand Manager at Wayne Dalton. “Through their online platforms, viewers have the opportunity to see how a new garage door can completely transform the exterior of a home. The Model 6600 garage doors chosen for this project maximized the curb appeal and helped bring Ellie and Jared’s vision to life.”
Installed by Burton Lumber, the charming carriage design of Model 6600 garage doors provide the benefits of a steel garage door, with the beauty of wood — thanks to its composite overlay. Model 6600 comes with foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation with an R-value* of 12.12, which can help improve a home’s thermal efficiency and reduce street noise. Available features include wind load options, quiet rollers, and snug-fitting tongue-and-groove section joints that help reduce weather penetration, ensuring the door lasts for years to come.
Ellie and Jared document their home-building journey on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/ellieandjared and on their respective Instagram accounts.
