8 factors behind your garage door cost
Our calculator weighs each of these to build a realistic, regional estimate.
Door size & count
Single, double, or triple — and how many openings you're doing at once.
Material & insulation
Steel, wood, aluminum, glass and R-value drive the biggest cost swings.
Brand & style
Premium brands and carriage/full-view designs command higher prices.
Labor & removal
Local labor rates plus hauling away and disposing of your old door.
Permits & inspection
Required in many cities; coastal zones add wind-load documentation.
Climate & wind load
Hurricane, snow, and high-wind regions require rated, reinforced doors.
Opener & smart tech
Drive type, horsepower, Wi-Fi, cameras, and battery backup add up.
Emergency & timing
Same-day, after-hours, and weekend service carry premiums.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before starting this project.
Installing a standard 16x7 double door averages $1,800, ranging $1,100–$2,500 for insulated steel and $3,500–$8,000 for wood, glass, or custom. Labor, hardware, and basic setup are usually included. A new opener adds about $480.
A typical install includes the door, tracks, springs, hardware, mounting, balancing, and a safety check. Old-door removal and disposal often add $50–$150, and a new opener is a separate line item. The calculator lets you toggle each option.
Most double-door replacements take 4–6 hours for a professional crew. Adding a new opener, spring system, or removing the old door can push it toward a full day. Custom and oversized doors take longer.
Like-for-like replacements often do not require a permit, but new openings, structural changes, and coastal wind-load work usually do. Permit fees typically run $80–$220. Check your local building department or state page for specifics.
