New Garage Door Cost

The honest answer to “how much does a new garage door cost” is that it depends on the door. A basic single steel door and a custom glass or wood double door are very different projects.

As a national benchmark, the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report put the average job cost of a garage door replacement at $4,672 for a double-width 16 by 7 foot door, installed. Your price in Hampton Roads may be lower or higher depending on the choices below. The only way to get a firm figure is an on-site estimate, which Garage Door Enterprises provides across Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk.

• Size - a single door costs less than a double. Extra height for trucks, boats, or RVs adds to the price.
• Material - steel is the most affordable and the most popular. Wood garage doors and aluminum and glass doors sit at the premium end.
• Construction - single-layer steel is the entry point. Double and triple-layer doors add insulation and a steel back, which makes them stronger, quieter, and more efficient. See our guide to insulated garage doors.
• Style - raised panel doors are the baseline. Carriage house and modern flush designs, woodgrain finishes, and custom colors cost more.
• Windows and hardware - glass sections, decorative handles, and strap hinges are priced as options.
• Wind load rating - reinforcement for coastal wind requirements adds steel and hardware.
• Springs and rollers - high-cycle springs and sealed nylon rollers cost a little more and last much longer.
• Opener - a new garage door opener is a separate line if your existing unit is old or undersized for the new door.
• The opening itself - rotted jambs, low headroom, or framing repairs add labor.

A professional garage door installation is more than hanging panels. A complete GDE installation covers removal and disposal of the old door, new tracks, springs matched to the exact weight of the new door, new cables, rollers, hinges, and bottom seal, reconnection of the opener, balance and safety reversal testing, and cleanup.

Be cautious with quotes that look far cheaper than the rest. They often reuse old tracks and springs that were sized for a different door. Mismatched springs wear out the opener and can make the door unsafe.

A new garage door is one of the few home improvements that can pay back more than it costs. In the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, garage door replacement ranked first of all projects studied, with a national average of 268 percent of cost recouped at resale.

The reason is simple. On most homes the garage door is the largest single feature facing the street. A new door changes how the whole house looks to a buyer.

• Choose steel with a woodgrain finish instead of real wood.
• Stick to standard sizes and stock colors.
• Match insulation to how you use the garage. An attached or conditioned garage benefits from a higher R-value. A detached storage garage may not need it.
• Keep your existing opener if it is modern, has safety sensors, and is rated for the new door.
• Spread the cost. Garage door financing is available through our Acorn Finance partnership, and checking your rate does not affect your credit score.

Online calculators cannot see your opening. During an on-site estimate we measure width, height, headroom, and side room, check the framing and jambs, review your opener, and walk you through door options. You receive a written price for the complete job.

How long does installation take? Most standard residential doors are installed in a single visit of a few hours. Custom doors and openings that need framing work take longer.

Can I reuse my garage door opener? Often, yes. The opener needs working safety sensors and enough capacity for the weight of the new door.

Is one double door cheaper than two singles? Usually. Two single doors need two sets of tracks and springs and, in most cases, two openers.
