What is the average cost to have a new garage door installed?

The average cost to have a new garage door installed includes door, hardware, and labor, and varies widely based on door size, material, insulation, and style, but typical ranges provide budgeting guidance. On average, for a standard single 9x7 foot steel non-insulated garage door, installed cost is 800 to 1500 dollars, including door, tracks, springs, and labor. For a standard double 16x7 foot steel non-insulated door, average installed cost is 1200 to 2500 dollars. Insulated steel doors that provide better energy efficiency and quieter operation cost more, averaging 1500 to 3000 dollars for single and 2000 to 4000 dollars for double, with R-value of 12 to 18. Wood doors, which are heavier and require stronger springs and maintenance, average 2000 to 5000 dollars installed, while custom wood or carriage style doors can cost 4000 to 10000 dollars. Aluminum and glass contemporary doors average 2500 to 5000 dollars. Labor for installation typically costs 300 to 600 dollars, including removal of old door, installation of new tracks, springs, and opener reattachment, and takes 3 to 6 hours. Additional costs include new opener if needed at 300 to 600 dollars, permit fees of 50 to 100 dollars in some areas, and disposal of old door. Factors like windows, decorative hardware, and high cycle springs increase cost. Getting multiple written estimates ensures fair pricing.
