What's in the price
- Door and hardware: HomeGuide $400–$2,500 for the door, tracks and hardware package before optional extras.
- Labor: Angi and HomeGuide both cite about $200–$500 when labor is itemized (Angi average about $350). Fixr puts single-door labor at $100–$300 and double at $375–$575.
- Removal: $50–$250 (HomeGuide) or $50–$200 (Angi); often bundled.
- Opener: $300–$900 installed (HomeGuide). Fixr unit-only bands by drive type are in the estimator.
- Tracks: Fixr puts new tracks alone at about $50–$200. A full replacement usually swaps them.
- Windows and design: HomeGuide puts a standard door with windows at $600–$2,500 for the door alone. Angi says customizations can run from hundreds into the thousands.
- Permit: Angi $40–$120; HomeGuide $50–$250 when required.
- Torsion / extension springs: Angi and HomeGuide warn that garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury. Do not try to wind, cut or remove springs yourself. Hire a trained installer.
- Pinch points: Sectional doors and tracks can pinch fingers. Keep children clear during operation and installation.
- Opener safety reverse (UL 325): Automatic openers must reverse when they meet an obstruction and use photoelectric sensors across the opening. The IRC requires automatic garage door openers, if provided, to be listed and labeled to UL 325. Test the reverse monthly with a board on the floor under the door; if it does not reverse, stop using it and call a pro.
- Permits and warranty: Pros usually know local codes. Manufacturer warranties often require professional installation.
Getting quotes
- Get at least three itemized estimates: door model, R-value, labor, removal, tracks, opener and permit.
- Confirm the installer is licensed and insured, and ask who services the brand locally.
- Clear the garage and driveway on install day (Angi suggests this as helpful DIY prep).
