What to know before you book

Compare

Single vs double

A single 8×7 or 9×7 steel door costs $750–$2,200 installed; a 16×7 double $1,200–$3,500. One double door costs less than two singles because there's one set of springs, tracks and labor.

A three-car garage with one double and one single door runs $1,950–$5,700, the two prices added together.

Compare

Steel, insulated or wood

Plain steel is the cheapest and most common. Stepping up to an insulated door adds $150–$600; an insulated double costs $1,700–$4,000 installed. Insulated doors run about R-6 to R-18.

Wood and carriage-style doors cost $1,800–$6,500 and need repainting or refinishing over time.

Hurricane and wind-rated doors

In Florida a new garage door must meet the state building code's wind rating for the opening. In Miami-Dade and Broward, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, every door must also carry the large-missile impact rating, and a Miami-Dade permit needs the door's product approval.

A South Florida installer's 2026 prices: impact-rated doors run $3,500–$6,000 for a single and $5,500–$9,500 for a double; HVHZ doors $4,500–$7,500 and $7,000–$12,000. Permits there run $150–$500.

What the install includes

Installed prices cover the door, tracks, springs, hardware and labor. Removal of the old door is often included, but not always, so ask. If you buy the door yourself, labor alone is $200–$700, and haul-away $50–$250 when it's charged separately.

A new opener is extra: $300–$900 installed. In California a new door can't be connected to an old opener that lacks battery backup.

Compare

Is a new door worth it?

Remodeling's 2025 Cost vs Value Report priced its garage door replacement project at $4,672. That is a modeled cost for one set project, so it runs above many real quotes in the table. It estimated the project added $12,507 in resale value, about 268% of its cost, the best return of any project in the report.

If the door is sound, though, a repair at $150–$550 costs far less. Replace the door when panels are cracked, rotted or no longer made.

Do I need a permit to replace a garage door?

How long does a garage door install take?

Usually three to six hours for one door, with a crew of two.
