Garage Door Installation

While installing a garage door can be an exciting project, it is important to keep in mind that certain permits or approvals may need to be obtained if the installation involves any structural changes or electrical work. Additionally, homeowner associations typically have regulations for materials and designs that you must comply with – so make sure you check all of the requirements before proceeding.

Homeowners looking to install automatic garage door openers can expect replacement costs to range from $600 to $4,000 depending on the size and style. Most double-bay units span about 15-17 feet wide, while triple-car garages feature one single and one double-bay unit. Labor charges usually run between $200-$500 per door installment, separate from the materials needed. You can reduce these costs if you are reusing components such as rails or your existing opener. Many manufacturers claim that their existing garage door material will function optimally for 15-30 years. However, with the right maintenance, these doors could last as long as the home itself does.
