Garage Doors cost guide

Garage Door Installation cost in Illinois

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 · Illinois

A new single steel garage door installed in Illinois costs about $1,300, and typically runs $600–$2,390 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.
