Garage Door Installation & Replacement

Upgrade Your Home's Largest Moving Part

Garage doors run $2,000-$4,500 for standard steel raised-panel doors with basic openers, $4,500-$8,000 for premium insulated steel or wood-clad doors with smart openers, and $8,000-$18,000 for custom carriage-style or designer doors with high-cycle springs. Most installs complete in a half-day on a standard residential opening. Custom-sized and high-end carriage-style designs typically take 1-3 weeks of fabrication lead time before install. California SB 969 battery backup is included on every new opener.

Garage door replacement runs $2,000-$18,000 depending on size and grade. Spring tensioning and torsion-bar work always require licensed labor, since DIY garage door spring failure is a common ER visit. Insulated doors (R-value 8-18) reduce noise and keep attached garages 5-15 degrees more stable in summer. Trusted manufacturers: Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton. Smart openers (LiftMaster, Chamberlain) integrate with home automation. Cost variance comes from door size (single-bay 9x7 vs. double-bay 16x7 vs. oversized for tall trucks/RVs), insulation rating (uninsulated steel is cheapest; R-12 to R-18 insulated doors add $400-$1,200 but cut both heat and noise transfer for attached garages or rooms above), opener type (chain-drive cheapest, belt-drive quieter, wall-mount jackshaft premium and frees up ceiling space), spring sizing matched to door weight (we weigh the new door and spec torsion springs to match - typical residential is 25,000-cycle, with 50,000-cycle as an upgrade for daily-use families), and California SB 969 battery backup which is required by law on every new opener.
