Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write a garage door replacement estimate?
List the new door by size, material and insulation (for example 16×7 insulated steel), then the opener if it is being replaced, removal and haul-away of the old door, and any extras such as windows or a keypad. Add the deposit you require, how long the estimate is valid, and the parts and labor warranty.
Should I ask for a deposit on a garage door estimate?
For door replacements and custom orders, most companies ask for a deposit (often a third to half) because the door is ordered for that customer. Small repairs usually don't need one. Put the deposit amount and when the balance is due in the payment terms.
Should I give good, better and best options?
Options work well for garage doors: a standard steel door, an insulated door and an insulated door with a belt-drive opener, for example. Write each option as its own estimate or as clearly labelled lines so the customer can approve one.
Are the preloaded prices what I should charge?
No. They are typical US ranges with each line set to the middle, so you have a working estimate in seconds. Change them to your own prices before you send anything.
