New Garage Door Cost Calculator
A new garage door is one of the few home upgrades that reliably returns most of its cost at resale — but 'how much does a garage door cost' has answers from $800 to $10,000. Pick your size, material, and options below for an itemized installed estimate you can hold quotes against.
How this works
This estimate builds an itemized total from 2026 national pricing published by Angi, HomeGuide, Homewyse, and This Old House. The door itself is priced by material and size — steel singles start around $800 while wood and full-view aluminum-glass doors run $1,300–$4,500 for singles and up to $10,000 for oversized customs. Installation labor is the industry's standard $200–$600 per door, covering tear-down of the old door, track and spring setup, and hanging and adjusting the new sections. National installed averages anchor the sanity check: ~$2,171 for a single door and ~$3,478 for a double.
Options are priced as adders the way installers quote them. Insulation is a factory option, not a retrofit — polystyrene panels add roughly $150–$700 depending on door size and polyurethane injection $300–$1,200, and the premium tier is worth pricing whenever the garage is attached. A window section adds $200–$1,000 by size and glass type, a new opener installed adds $400–$800, and haul-away of the old door runs $50–$150 where it isn't already included. Every line item shows its own range so you can see exactly what moves the total.
These are honest national ranges, not quotes — your market, header framing, and track configuration (low-headroom, high-lift) set the final price. Garage Door Repair Network is a referral service: we route your request to independent local installers who measure the opening and quote the exact door. Price tables are refreshed annually against the Angi, HomeGuide, and Homewyse cost guides.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new garage door cost installed?
In 2026, single doors run $800–$2,700 installed with a national average around $2,171; doubles run $1,000–$3,500 with an average around $3,478. Premium wood and full-view glass doors reach $5,500–$10,000. Labor is $200–$600 of that; the rest is the door and options.
What garage door material is the best value?
Steel, by a wide margin — it's the cheapest, lowest-maintenance path to an insulated door, and modern woodgrain finishes are convincing from the curb. Composite is the step up if you want the wood look without repainting; real wood and full-view glass are aesthetic choices you pay for both upfront and in upkeep.
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
If the garage is attached, heated, used as a workspace, or has a room above it — yes. Insulation is a factory option that adds a few hundred dollars at order time but can't be meaningfully retrofitted later. Polyurethane doors are also noticeably quieter and stiffer, which extends the door's own life.
Should I replace the opener when I replace the door?
If the opener is past 10–15 years old, almost always. A new opener installed adds $400–$800 to the job, the installer is already there, and a new door's weight and travel should be programmed into a modern unit with battery backup and current safety features rather than adjusted into a tired one.
Does a new garage door add home value?
It's perennially one of the top projects in Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, typically recouping most or all of its cost at resale — it's a big fraction of the home's visible facade. That math works best with mid-range steel doors; ultra-premium doors are a lifestyle buy, not an investment.
