Garage Door Prices- Shop Around To Know Them Better

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.

Listed below are some prices for typical garage doors:

$300-$500 (not installed) – An average 16′x7′ door. This price range does not include installation prices, and may even get you a door with steel clad and added insulation. A manual for installation will be provided with the door, and all it takes to install it is 2-3 professionals and some common tools.

$400-$700 (installed) – a new 16′x7′ tilt-up or rolling up wood or aluminum door with outside plywood. Aluminum single tilt garage doors are very lightweight, and they do not rust. However, they dent easily. These types of garage door prices include professional installation.

$600-$700 (installed) – Including professional installation, a garage door in this price range is a cheaper but new 16′x7′ non-insulated one.

$750-$1,200 (installed) – a new 16′x7′ steel garage door, and having it professionally installed. The less expensive models are usually single skin thinner metal doors; more expensive models are double-skin thicker metal doors with foam insulation between two panels. More expensive garage door prices may also additionally get you a 2 inch thick door, filled with insulation, with thicker steel panels, weather-stripping and weather seals. Steel doors do not rust and do not need repainting as often as wood doors, but they will dent and repairing may be difficult.

$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 category of garage door prices can get you a 16′x7′ standard higher-grade roll-up stained wood door panel. This price may go up or down depending upon any additional designs on the panel, or the type of wood used.

$1,200 (installed) – a quality steel, 16′x8′ garage door constructed of two panels and 2 inches of polyurethane foam, with a low maintenance exterior. The price also includes installation.

$1,300 (installed) – a new 16′x7′ high wind rated garage door, includes installation.

$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 vary on multiple factors. The price range is very wide ($300-$3,000), so it is a good idea to do some shopping in order to find the best prices.
