Garage Doors cost guide

Garage Door Installation cost by state

A garage door replacement is priced mostly by the door itself — the material and whether it is a single or double — with installation bundled in. Steel is the value pick; wood is the premium. Insulation and a new opener are optional add-ons. Because the door is nationally priced hardware, prices swing less between states than a labor-heavy job does.

The direct answer · the U.S.

A new single steel garage door installed in the U.S. costs about $1,200, and typically runs $550–$2,200 depending on the material, single vs double, and whether you add an opener.

What changes the range

Cost drivers worth asking about.

Material sets the price

Steel is the value choice and the most common. Wood is a premium, custom option that can cost several times a steel door. Aluminum, fiberglass, composite, and vinyl fall in between. The material line already includes standard installation.

Single vs double

A double (two-car) door costs roughly 70% more than a single of the same material — it is a bigger panel and heavier hardware. It is the second-biggest factor after material.

Insulation and opener add-ons

An insulation upgrade helps an attached or heated garage. A new opener — chain, belt, or a smart Wi-Fi model — is a separate installed line item you can add if yours is failing.

How much more does a double garage door cost than a single?

A double steel door averages about $2,040 versus about $1,200 for a single — roughly $840 more — because it is a larger, heavier panel.

How much does a wood garage door cost?

A double wood door is a premium job at about $4,080 ($1,530–$7,650), several times the price of steel, because it is a custom, heavier product.
