How Much Should a New Garage Door Cost?

As a homeowner in Seattle, you know that having your own garage can offer its own unique set of benefits. From providing extra storage space to keeping your car safe from the elements, a good-quality garage door is instrumental in ensuring these advantages are fully realized. But when it comes to costs associated with a garage door replacement, things can get complicated quickly.

How much should you expect to pay for quality materials and the installation of a new garage door? In this blog post, we’ll pull back the curtain on how much a new garage door should cost so you’ll have all the information needed to make an informed decision.

A Garage Door Replacement Cost Will Depend on the Materials Used

Garage doors come in a variety of materials, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. The type of garage door material used typically plays a large role in calculating new garage door costs. The most common garage door materials include steel, wood, and aluminum.

A steel garage door is solid and durable, making it a good choice for homes in areas that experience severe weather conditions. They are also relatively easy to maintain and can be painted to match the exterior of your home. However, metal garage doors are also the heaviest type, which can make them difficult to open and close.

The wood garage door has been a popular type for years due to its natural beauty and durability. Wood doors are also relatively affordable and can be painted or stained to match the exterior of your home. However, wood is a natural material making it susceptible to moisture damage and rot.

Finally, an aluminum garage door is a lightweight and cost-effective option. They resist corrosion and rust, making them a great choice for homes in areas that experience inclement weather. While aluminum garage doors require very little maintenance and can be painted to match any color scheme, they are dented very easily.

Garage Door Replacement Costs Vary Based on Size and Style

When it’s time for a garage door installation, most individuals picture a classic rolling residential garage door. However, multiple garage door styles can be considered in future garage door replacements. A credible professional garage door installer will be able to offer doors from classic carriage to modern paneled roll-up styles. A few of the different styles include:

Roll-Up

Roll-up garage doors are the most popular. It is a metal door that rolls up into the ceiling or wall, opening and closing vertically. Sectional roll-up doors are often the most affordable and easiest to install.

Side-Hinged

This style of garage door opens out as a regular door does. It is often used for garages with a lot of space since it takes up more room when it opens than other styles.

Slide to the Side

Another form of custom garage door is the slide to the side. This style is typically utilized for a single garage door when overhead space is unavailable, creating a barn door effect.

Tilt Up

A tilt-up garage door opens vertically in one large panel and then slides up and over the top of the opening instead of rolling into the ceiling or wall. This style takes up more overhead space than a rolling garage door, but it is very popular in industry settings.

Residential vs. Industrial Garage Doors

Another huge impact on each garage door installation cost is the difference between residential and business. While both residential and business doors can be opened with an automatic garage door opener, garage door installation costs will typically be higher for businesses.

This is because residential garage doors are not as complex as business doors since they do not require the same level of security or insulation. Insulated garage doors are larger and heavier to protect a company’s investments and employees from the elements. They also need to be able to withstand more wear and tear.
