garage door prices

Garage door prices vary with the type of door (steel, aluminum, vinyl, wood, composite…), quality, insulation value, safety details, hardware... Warranties follow the quality of the door, but also their type.

Aluminum garage doors

Simpler aluminum garage doors, without insulation layers, are inexpensive: prices from $500 to $800 (for standard two-car doors) are common.

Insulated aluminum garage doors are more expensive, and their prices may rise to $1,000 to $1,300 (standard two-car doors).

See: Aluminum garage doors

Wood garage door prices

You can find very simple and low-quality wood garage doors with prices as low as $500 or $800.

But appearance-grade and solid wood doors are significantly more expensive.

Doors with solid hardwood panels will cost you at least $1,500 (redwood) or $2,000 (oak-paneled and all-cedar). These, for the smaller sizes... Larger doors will easily cost you twice those values.

Prices of wood garage doors do indeed vary a lot. Prices above $3,000 (form smaller sizes) up to $10,000 are not truly uncommon.

Steel and aluminum garage door prices

The prices of steel doors vary with their size (simple car doors, double car door, cart doors) and type (single layer (non-insulated) doors, double layer doors and three layer doors). Details like vinyl backs or steel on both sides of the door also matters.

Simple steel garage doors prices between $600 and $800 are common. Double car garage with good insulation levels will cost you $300 more.

But there are higher prices, namely for particularly well constructed and well insulated doors (with an R-value above 10)…

An example of the price variation due to insulation and construction features: CHI Overhead Doors sells steel garage doors at the prices we mentioned before, but they also have high-premium doors with particularly high insulation levels (R-values of 14) with prices between $900 (lower sizes) and $,2000 (higher sizes).

Garage doors installation costs

In the case of stocked standard garage doors, installation costs are often included in the price of the door.

When billed separately, installation can add about $100 to the cost of the door (or more, for custom doors).

Garage doors warranties

Low-grade wood doors have very short warranties (only 1-year, or no warranties at all).

Other doors have very variable warranties, largely dependent on the structural material they are made from: very good wood garage door will have limited warranties of 15 to 20-years; steel garage doors (and some plastic doors) have very large warranties: 20 years or more.
