What it costs
Garage door prices turn on the size and material of the door, insulation, the opener, and any track or framing repair. See the garage doors cost guide.
What to ask before you hire
- Your county license number, so I can check it before I sign?
- A certificate of insurance sent to me by your insurer, not a photo?
- Is the spring work done by trained technicians, given the tension it carries?
- Which door, insulation value and opener are in the price?
- Is removal of the old door included?
- What do the warranties cover?
