Frequently Asked Questions
What do garage door companies charge to install an opener?
Typical US installed prices run about $450–$850 for a chain-drive opener, $550–$1,000 for a belt-drive opener and $800–$1,550 for a wall-mount (jackshaft) opener, including the opener itself. Extra remotes or a keypad are their own lines.
Chain, belt or wall-mount: how do I present the options?
Offer chain-drive as the value option, belt-drive as the quiet option for attached garages, and wall-mount for high ceilings or when the customer wants the ceiling clear. Put each on its own estimate or as clearly labelled lines so the customer approves one.
Should I check the door before quoting an opener?
Yes. An opener can't fix a door that is out of balance or has worn springs, and it will wear out early on one. If the door needs work, add the spring or tune-up line to the same estimate.
