Can you add windows (for aesthetic purposes) to an existing steel garage door? Is this a service any garage door company offers?

The easiest solution may be to check with the manufacturer to see if they have a panel available with windows for your door. Then just replace the old panel with the new one.

While you could certainly cut holes into an existing door, it sounds like a lot of work and I'd question undermining the structural integrity.
