About the job

What garage door installation involves

Garage door installation is more than hanging panels. The job starts with measuring the opening: width, height, headroom over the door, and the space to each side. Those numbers decide which door, track and spring will fit.

On the day, we remove the old door, check the framing and jambs for rot or damage, and assemble the new panels section by section. The track and torsion spring system is mounted, the springs are wound to match the weight of the new door, and the cables, rollers and weatherstripping are set. We then connect the opener, if you have one, and reset its travel limits for the new door, because a heavier or lighter door changes how the opener behaves.

People usually replace a door because panels are dented or cracked, the track is bent, the door is hard to balance, or the garage is cold. Minnesota winters make insulation worth a look, particularly for an attached garage that shares a wall with living space. Insulated steel doors have a polystyrene or polyurethane core between steel skins, and we explain how they differ before you choose.

A full installation is typically a one-day job for a standard single or double door, and we haul away the old door when we finish.

Your options

Options we walk you through before installation

Steel doors

The most common residential choice. Steel panels hold up well, take paint, and come in flat and raised-panel styles.

Insulated or non-insulated

A core of foam between two steel skins helps with temperature and noise, which matters for a garage attached to the house. A single-layer door is lighter and costs less.

Door size and opening

A standard single door and a double door use different springs and track. Odd-size openings in older homes may need a custom size, which we measure for.

Springs and hardware

Heavier doors need stronger springs. We match torsion springs to the door's weight, and use rollers and hinges rated for the job.

Windows and style

Glass panels, color and panel patterns are chosen to suit the house. We show you what is available and what suits the door's insulation.

Opener compatibility

The opener has to lift the new door's weight and be reset to it. If yours is old, we raise the question of a new garage door opener at the quote.

Installation FAQ

Garage door installation questions

Can I install a new garage door myself?
It is possible for experienced do-it-yourselfers, but it is not a good idea. The door is heavy, the springs hold dangerous tension, and an off-balance installation wears out the opener fast. A technician has the tools and the experience to do it safely.
How long does it take a professional to install a garage door?
A standard door is typically a one-day job, longer if the framing needs repair or the opening is an unusual size. We confirm what to expect when we measure.
What is the approximate cost of a new garage door?
It depends on the door size, the material, insulation, windows and the hardware needed. We give you an upfront quote after measuring, before any work begins.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
One damaged panel or a broken spring is usually a repair. Replacement makes sense when several sections are damaged, the door will not hold balance, or the hardware is worn throughout.
What is the lifespan of a garage door?
It varies with use, material and care, but springs tend to wear out well before the door itself. A well-maintained steel door can last many years.
Do you haul away the old door?
Yes, we remove the old door and take it with us when the installation is done.
Is the installation covered by a warranty?
Yes. Our installations and repairs are backed by a parts-and-labor warranty.
