Home improvements and renovations can be an expensive game, but all the time and money can really be worth it in a number of ways. Firstly, there’s the satisfaction of how great your home looks after remodeling. Then there’s the improvements in terms of functionality and durability, which could save you time and money in the long run. And there could even be benefits in terms of recouping the costs when it comes to resale.
And a new garage door could tick all of these boxes, potentially lasting for decades, adding curb appeal, and boosting the resale value of your home. So, if you’re planning on installing a new garage door, let’s take a look at some of the costs you might expect.
Costs to consider
The most obvious cost of your new garage door is the door itself. Factors such as the material of your door and the size and style of your door will make a difference to the cost of it. After the door, the next thing to consider is the cost of labor and installation. HomeAdvisor places these costs at between $200 and $500, with the average sitting around $300. Again, this will vary depending on the size and style of the door in terms of complexity of installation.
Garage door material costs
While HomeAdvisor puts the overall average cost of an installed garage door at
$757-$1,563, this could vary greatly depending on the material you choose. The most popular materials – steel, aluminum, and wood – all fall into a similar price range, which is somewhere around $600 to $2,000.
Of course, these are pretty wide ranges, with actual prices affected by the quality of the material and the level of customization required, for example. Steel is typically the cheapest option, but a stock wood garage door could cost much less than a custom steel garage door. The more expensive options include faux wood and composite wood, which can reach upwards of $4,000.
Garage door size costs
The size of your garage door will, obviously, affect the amount of material required, which in turn affects the price. The most basic thing to consider is whether you need a single or a double garage door. Single doors will range from $600-$2,000 while a double door could be anywhere from $800 to more than $4,000.
Garage door style costs
A simple single panel overhead door is generally the cheapest option, as low as $300 for a single door. Roll-up garage doors are also reasonably priced, ranging from $400 to $1,500, while carriage doors are the more expensive option due to the intricacy and detail of the design. While these can be as low as $1,000, increasingly custom doors could be as much as $10,000.
