One way to do it would be to get wall extensions for the entire the garage and then cut the roof of the garage off lifting it up to the height you want it.
Making garage door wider.
Install an electric overhead garage door opener with a remote control located at an accessible height for a seated person.
For example eight feet tall with 4 feet wide are the best solution for one swing door.
Skylights can provide additional day lighting as a safety factor.
You re like going to need to remove 1 4 on the hinge side prior to gluing the additional stock.
You also can base the new opening size on the width of the new door you purchase for the garage.
Frame the rough opening to a height that is 1 5 taller than the door that you have selected.
Step 1 remove the existing door from the frame by unscrewing the screws on the hinges and lifting the door away.
If the door is 7 tall frame the opening 7 1 5.
If you are installing a 9 wide door the opening will be 9 3 wide.
Make sure you leave an inch to make the aligned properly.
Include motion sensor lighting with the garage door opener as well as on other lights in the garage.
On the non hinge side there may be a bevel which should be removed prior to gluing additional stock.
If you are widening the door because of a new vehicle widen the door to the equivalent of two additional feet per side of vehicle.
Here you should have the correct dimensions of your garage.
You can start to buy materials after making the plans such as proper lumbers rails and other carpenter stuff.
Frame the rough opening to 3 inches wider than the garage door size you have selected.
Wall extensions because garage doors are usually sized to snugly fit the dimensions of the garage itself making the door larger usually means making the garage larger.
