How much does a new garage door cost?
A new garage door usually costs $900 - $3,500+ installed for standard steel doors. Double-wide, insulated, carriage-style, wood, glass, or custom doors commonly land in the $1,500 - $5,000+ range, with high-end custom projects reaching $10,000+.
The door itself is only part of the quote. Installation, tracks, springs, opener compatibility, old-door haul-away, trim/weatherstripping, and framing adjustments can change the final number.

Before you choose a door
- Decide whether the goal is curb appeal, insulation, quieter operation, security, or replacing a failed door. That changes the best option.
- Measure the opening, but let the installer verify. Garage door measurements need headroom, side room, track clearance, and opener clearance.
- Ask whether the quote includes tracks, springs, hardware, removal/haul-away, weatherstripping, and opener reconnection.
- If the opener is old or undersized, price replacement at the same time.
Unlock the hiring checklist
Use this before you call a garage door, so you know what to ask and what to avoid.
Call a pro when…
- The opening is nonstandard or has limited headroom
- Existing tracks or framing are damaged
- The new door is heavier than the old one
- You want insulated, glass, wood, or custom design
- The opener may need replacement or upgraded safety sensors
Repair or replace?
Replacement makes sense when the door has multiple damaged panels, poor insulation, rot/rust, discontinued sections, or a failing look that hurts curb appeal. Repair makes sense when the door is structurally sound and the issue is a spring, cable, opener, sensor, roller, hinge, or one available panel.

Related questions
Does a new garage door include a new opener?
Usually no. The opener is separate unless the quote says it is included. The installer can often reconnect a compatible opener.
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
It can be worth it for attached garages, rooms above the garage, extreme climates, or quieter operation. For a detached unconditioned garage, basic steel may be enough.
How long does garage door installation take?
A standard replacement often takes half a day to one day once the door is available. Custom doors can have longer lead times.
Can I install a garage door myself?
It is not recommended for most homeowners. Doors are heavy, springs must be sized/tensioned correctly, and improper install can be unsafe.
