Garage Door Installation – How Much Money Are You Going To Spend?

August 16, 2017 By Jainnie Smith Leave a Comment

It is always a good idea to pay attention to maintaining your garage door properly to make it work efficiently. Failing to taking the right care of it would eventually make you look for a new garage door. Garage door installation is a complicated task due to many factors, and that is the reason why it can be quite expensive too. You should be willing to spend no less than $500, depending on what type of door you want.

Many people think that they can make garage door installation a DIY project. This is not going to work though. First, you need to bear in mind that even a professional will need up to 5 hours to handle the installation task, so you are going to spend even longer to have your door installed. Moreover, experts say that garage door installation is a two-person job and requires some serious carpentry knowledge and skills to complete the project. It is also important to have complete knowledge of household electronic systems when working with garage door installation.

When using a professional, you will have to go through some hassle, but it will certainly be the right way to go. Locating a right contractor can be time-consuming too. You can ask your friends and colleagues for referrals or use the Internet to find and compare available contractors. Keep in mind that the quotes you get will always depend on what type of door you want installed. For instance, you may have to pay more than $400 get single tilt-up models installed, whereas most contractors charge more than $800 for single roll-up models. Similarly, custom roll-up models and solid wood custom models are going to cost a lot more.

How much money you have to pay will also depend on many other features. For instance, you will have to pay more if you want windows across the top of your door for better lighting. Similarly, you have to pay more if you want wood or steel frames used on your garage door for added stability and security. Having your garage door insulated may help reduce energy costs but will certainly take door installation cost up a notch.

Here it is important to mention that some additional considerations may push cost further up. For instance:

  • Widths: The cost will go up depending on the widths of your doors. Garage doors come as single-width and double-width styles. In case you opt for a single door to cover the entire opening of your garage, you may need serious structural modifications that are going to cost a lot.
  • Steel Entry Doors: Be ready to spend some more money if you are going to have a separate single 3 x 68 exterior door with locksets and half-glass. This ensures that you will have more than one way to use your garage.

So, be sure to consider your specific needs and then consider your budget to be able to select the best doors and hire the most affordable contractor for garage door installation.
