How much does it cost to install a new residential garage door?

There are quite a few different factors when determining the price of a garage door and of the labor to install it. The first factor will be the cost of the garage door. Steel non-insulated doors will start at the bottom of the price range and custom wood carriage style doors will be at the top of the price range. Any door constructed of wood will almost always cost more than a steel garage door. Any windows or designs you add to the door will increase cost. Any extras on a garage door are “a la carte”. Some garage door companies will have package deals so ask about those deals also.

The other factor in the equation is the labor to install the door. If you have a roll up sectional garage door and just need a replacement, than labor cost should be minimal. If you have a solid wood one piece flip up door and want to install a sectional roll up door than that is what they call a conversion. Any time you have to convert a door opening the labor cost will be a bit more. Conversions take more time and most of the time you will have to add or remove lumber from door opening to correctly convert doors. If your garage has low headroom which means the amount of space between the top of the door opening and the ceiling. You will need low headroom track install if that space is less than 1 foot.
