Garage door replacement costs range from $700 for a basic single-car steel door with opener to $3,500+ for a carriage-style double door with insulation and smart opener. Springs, tracks, and openers each add to the job. This calculator builds a complete garage door estimate covering door material, opener, labor, and disposal.
Single car steel door (non-insulated): $200–$400 material. Single car steel door (insulated, 1.75" thick): $350–$700. Double car door (18x7, insulated steel): $500–$1,200. Carriage-style or wood-look steel: $800–$2,000. True wood (cedar or redwood): $1,200–$4,000. Always confirm the rough opening size and structural header condition before ordering — a header that needs replacement adds $300–$700 to the job.
Belt-drive opener (quieter, residential standard): $250–$450 installed. Chain-drive opener (noisier, more durable): $200–$380 installed. Smart opener with WiFi and camera: $350–$600 installed. Torsion spring replacement (single car): $150–$250; double car (2-spring system): $250–$400. Spring work is the highest-injury task in garage door service — price it at a rate that reflects the risk and your expertise.
New door install with opener (typical residential): 3–5 hours for a 2-man crew. Door replacement only (reuse existing track and opener): 2–3 hours. Spring replacement: 1–1.5 hours. Track realignment and adjustment: 1–2 hours. Service calls for minor adjustments: flat rate $100–$200. Commercial or high-cycle doors take longer and require commercial-rated hardware — price accordingly.
Old door disposal: $75–$150 depending on local dump fees. Painting a new wood or paintable door: $100–$250 depending on size. Keypad and exterior lock hardware: $50–$120. Annual maintenance agreements (lubrication, adjustment, safety check): $100–$200/year — a great recurring revenue source for service companies. New construction installs with multiple units are priced at volume rates with a reduced per-door install time.
