How Much Does Garage Door Replacement Cost?
Estimate the cost of replacing a garage door — door types, installation labor, openers and what raises the price — with the free calculator.
A garage door replacement is priced in three parts: the door itself, the labor to remove and install it, and the opener if you change it. This guide covers the door types, what drives the price and a calculator so you can budget the job with real numbers.
THE SHORT ANSWER
The short answer
A standard single-car steel garage door runs about $800–$1,500 installed including labor. Double doors run $1,200–$2,500. Adding a new opener costs $300–$600 installed. Insulated and custom doors push the price higher.
Door types and what they cost
Steel sectional doors are the most common replacement choice: durable, insulated options and moderate price. Aluminum and glass doors cost more. Wood doors are the premium option but need maintenance.
- Steel: most common, $800–$1,500 installed (single car)
- Insulated steel: $1,200–$2,000 installed
- Aluminum/glass: $1,500–$3,000 installed
- Wood: $2,000+ installed
What adds to the price
The door price is the base. Expect to add: removal of the old door ($100–$200), springs and hardware, insulation upgrade, and an opener if you are not reusing it. Windows in the top panel also add cost.
Labor and installation
Installation labor typically runs $200–$500 for a standard door, and the whole job takes a few hours. Garage door springs are under high tension — replacement is dangerous DIY work, so professional installation is strongly recommended.
