Garage Door Prices – It’s Better To Shop Around

There are numerous factors governing the fluctuation in prices of garage doors. That is to say, if you’re installing the door yourself, you’re saving yourself double the amount. Likewise, you’ll have to pay more if you use a high wind rated garage door, or if your door has a different size. The material of the door greatly influences price hikes too. Usually, you can get a garage door ranging from $300-$3000.

Here are some average typical garage door prices:

$300-$500 (not installed) – a new average-sized 16′x7′ garage door. These low garage door prices do not include installation. The price will depend on the type of door chosen. This price may sometimes even get you a door with foam insulation and steel clad. The door will come with instructions. You will need the usual tools for installation. Installation of the door can be done with 2-3 mechanically-inclined people.

$400-$700 (installed) – A typical 16′x7′ garage door inclusive of installation prices. Within this range, you can easily buy a rolling up wood door, or an aluminum door with outside plywood, or simply a tilt up door. Aluminum doors make a good choice because they are light weight and resist corrosion. However, they do tend to get damaged easily.

$600-$700 (installed) – Inclusive of professional installation, this category offers affordable, brand new 16′x7′ non-insulated single doors.

$750-$1,200 (installed) – This range would offer a new 16′x7′garage door inclusive of professional installation. Cheaper types are mostly just a single metal plane , whereas more expensive ones come with foam insulation sandwiched between two thick metal panels. More high priced models include thicker metal sheets (extra two inches thicker) with more insulation, along with weather tolerance agents. Usually, steel doors are a better choice because neither do they rust, nor do they need repainting as much as wooden doors do. On the other hand however, it is difficult to repair them if they get dented.

$800-$1,000 (installed) – Affordable professional installation along with a new 16′x7′ designed-to-be-painted sectional roll up insulated door.

$1,200-$2,000 (installed) – Inclusive of professional installation, this price range will get you higher-grade roll-up stained wood door panels with additional decorative designs. The price may vary according to the type of wood.

$1,200 (installed) – a larger 16′x8′ good quality steel garage door that has panels constructed of two steel panels that sandwich 2 inches of polyurethane foam with a pre-painted low maintenance exterior. These garage door prices include installation.

$1,300 (installed) – measuring 16′x7′, this price offers a high wind rated garage door inclusive of installation costs.

$2,500-$3,000 (installed) – This price range includes installation prices and can get you a solid wood door built specifically to suit your needs. Wood looks stylish and also has decorative additions to it. However, it is more prone to cracking and aging, because of which it might require more maintenance. Such doors may also be highly priced because of irregular shape; such as a 18′x8′ with an attached motor.

Garage door prices are influenced by many factors, and the best way to find out about such prices is to shop for garage doors first.
