Frequently Asked Questions
A new garage door costs $800-$2,000 installed for a basic insulated steel door. Premium materials like wood or aluminum/glass run $2,500-$8,000+. A two-car insulated door averages $2,000-$3,000 installed. Prices include door, installation, and removal of old door.
Steel doors last 20-30 years, wood 15-25 years (with maintenance), aluminum 20+ years, and fiberglass 25+ years. Springs last 10,000-20,000 cycles (7-14 years for average use). Openers last 10-15 years. Regular maintenance extends all lifespans.
Repair if: one panel damaged, springs/cables broken, opener malfunctioning. Replace if: multiple panels damaged, door warped/sagging, old door lacking safety features, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement. New doors also offer better insulation and curb appeal.
Garage doors offer excellent ROI—often 90-100% cost recovery at resale, among the best home improvements. New doors improve curb appeal, security, insulation (lower energy bills), and safety. For selling soon, a garage door upgrade is a smart investment.
