Frequently Asked Questions
What does a new garage door installation typically cost?
Typical US installed prices run about $900–$1,800 for a single-car steel door and $1,900–$4,200 for a double-car insulated steel door, with new tracks, springs and hardware. Opener, removal of the old door and upgrades like windows are separate lines.
How much deposit should I take on a door install?
Most installers take a third to half up front because the door is ordered for that customer and can't be returned. Write the deposit, when the balance is due, and the expected install date in the terms.
What should an installation estimate list for the door itself?
Size, material, insulation (R-value), panel style, color, windows and the hardware included. The more specific the door line, the fewer surprises at install and the easier it is for the customer to compare your estimate with others.
