Questions About Garage Doors

Garage doors come in all shapes and sizes to suit every person’s needs. If you’re looking for something that will be a bit more expensive, double roller or sectional garage doors are the way to go! A single roll door can cost anywhere from $600-1350 while having a double roller door with only one-half may set you back between $1300-$1500. When it comes time for installation such as painting, tune-ups, and everything else extra costs add up quickly depending on what type of materials your new garage is made out of so make sure those quotes are accurate before finalizing them.

The price of an insulated garage door can range from $500-$3000, depending on the type.

For an average of $300-$940, the installation cost can be a major expense. Most homeowners will pay around $480 just for installing a 3/4 HP belt-drive garage door opener which is considered to operate on lower speeds and produce less noise than chain or screw drive operators.

A garage door with windows will likely cost a bit more than one without.

It doesn’t make much difference in price though – so don’t let this be your only consideration when choosing which door to buy!
