The cost to replace a single-car garage door ranges from <strong>$515 to $2,200<\/strong>, with a nationwide average of <strong>$1,355<\/strong>. This price covers the removal of the existing door, tracks, rollers, and other parts, as well as the installation of a new door, and other components.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the lower end of the price scale is a non-insulated steel door, which starts at <strong>$605<\/strong> and is installed on a compatible existing track. An automated garage door with wood or glass windows and add-ons such as a keypad and security sensors is on the higher end of the price range, averaging <strong>$5,135<\/strong>.<\/p>   <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-c0671458-fec3-4336-a7e4-bf82ca7a1ad2\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.lawnstarter.com\/near-me?service=garage%20Door%20Replacement&amp;ref=PricingGuides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #ff6900; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">See Pricing In Your Area<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estimatorbysize\">One-Car Garage Door Replacement Cost Estimator by Size<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of your garage door is one major factor that influences <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/cost\/garage-door-replacement-price\/\">replacement cost<\/a>. While single garage doors are generally 7 to 8 feet tall and 8 feet wide, there are other dimensions for single-car garages that accommodate larger single vehicles (SUVs and trucks) and overhead storage, but at a higher cost.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Garage Size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cost Range for Materials Only<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u20188 x 7\u2019<\/td><td>$400 &#8211; $900<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u20189 x 9\u2019<\/td><td>$450 &#8211; $1,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u201810 x 10\u2019<\/td><td>$500 &#8211; $1,150<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estimatorbytype\">One-Car Garage Door Replacement Cost by Type<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of door is another factor that affects the cost of garage door replacement. Some doors are more expensive than others due to the way they function and their different aesthetics.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tilt-up<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the least expensive garage door, with a cost range of about<strong> $475 to $1,375<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a solid single-panel door that is hinged at the top and swings out parallel to the ceiling when opened. The operation of this type of door requires sufficient clearance in front of the garage and in the ceiling. They are available in retractable and canopy door models.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sectional<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most commonly installed garage door. Sectional garage doors consist of interconnected panels that slide on a vertical track parallel to the ceiling when fully open. Prices for sectional garage doors range from <strong>$395 to $1,525<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roll-up<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roll-up garage doors consist of interconnected horizontal steel panels that roll up into a tube or drum above the door when opened. This makes the best use of limited overhead space to create additional storage. Roll-up doors cost between <strong>$560 and $1,956<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glass roll-up<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of door works similarly to a regular roll-up door, but it rolls up in sections, costs more, and is made of glass panels instead of steel sheets. Roll-up glass doors cost between <strong>$850 and $5,950<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carriage house<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a pair of doors that look like a traditional carriage house and swing in and out in the middle. Carriage House garage doors cost between <strong>$945 and $6,875<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walk-through<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk-through doors are typical garage doors with a single small door that allows you to enter and exit the garage without having to open the entire garage door. Prices for these garage doors range <strong>from $1,000 to $4,750<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">French<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French garage doors are the second priciest option after the glass roll-up. They are no different from regular French doors, a set of glass doors that opens outwards from the center. They range in price from <strong>$1,725 to $5,225<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"factors\">Other Factors That Affect Cost<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of installing a garage door can vary from project to project based on the following additional cost factors:<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garage door material has the biggest impact on the price of the door and the overall replacement cost. The most common materials are listed below, with aluminum being the cheapest, while glass and high-quality wood, including faux wood, cost more.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Material<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cost Range<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aluminum<\/td><td>$545 &#8211; $2,465<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Steel<\/td><td>$605 &#8211; $2,735<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vinyl<\/td><td>$810 &#8211; $2,455<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wood<\/td><td>$825 &#8211; $3,690<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fiberglass<\/td><td>$800 &#8211; $2,600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Glass<\/td><td>$975 &#8211; $4,875<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Faux wood \/ composite wood<\/td><td>$706 &#8211; $4155<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom garage doors<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Homeowners who want their garage door to match the style and design of their home can opt for a custom door. These doors feature different designs, colors, high-quality materials, and custom window and door sizes that differ from standard doors. Custom garage doors without labor cost between <strong>$1,035 and $9,335<\/strong>, depending on whether it&#8217;s partial or full customization.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insulated garage doors<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Insulated garage doors help regulate the temperature in the garage and protect homeowners who use the garage as an extension of their living space from hot and cold weather. Insulated doors are rated with R-values between 0 and 20. The cost increases as the insulation value increases.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-insulated doors are more expensive than non-insulated doors, costing between <strong>$600 and $2,650<\/strong> for labor and material. However, if you want to insulate an existing door, expect labor costs of <strong>$55 to $550<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Door opener<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A garage door opener opens the garage door remotely with the push of a button. Depending on the model, an automatic garage door opener costs between<strong> $280 and $700<\/strong> to install, including a remote control and keypad.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Window<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may want to add a window to your garage door when you replace it, or you may purchase a pre-installed garage door with a window. Either way, garage door windows let natural light in. The price of the window depends largely on the size, style, and features. On average, installing a window in a garage door costs <strong>$30 to $60 per window,<\/strong> while buying a stock door with a window costs about <strong>$700 to $2,600<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Labor<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labor costs are also an important factor in estimating the cost of a new garage door. On average, labor costs for installing a new garage door start at <strong>$190<\/strong> and rise to <strong>$450<\/strong> or more for complicated jobs. This price is for installation only and does not include the cost of materials or the cost of the electrician.<\/p>   <div style=\"gap: 20px\" class=\"align-button-center ub-buttons orientation-button-row ub-flex-wrap wp-block-ub-button\" id=\"ub-button-a454d1b7-0fbc-430b-99c3-3d76a2d2d03d\"><div class=\"ub-button-container\"> \t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/quotes.lawnstarter.com\/near-me?service=garage%20Door%20Replacement&amp;ref=PricingGuides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"ub-button-block-main\" role=\"button\" style=\"--ub-button-background-color: #ff6900; --ub-button-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-border: none; --ub-button-hover-background-color: #313131; --ub-button-hover-color: #ffffff; --ub-button-hover-border: none; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; border-top-left-radius: 60px;; border-top-right-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-left-radius: 60px;; border-bottom-right-radius: 60px;; \"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"ub-button-content-holder\" style=\"flex-direction: row\"> \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ub-button-block-btn\">See Pricing In Your Area<\/span> \t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t<\/a> \t\t<\/div><\/div>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"services\">Related Services&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are additional garage services and their costs that you should consider when replacing your garage door.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Door removal<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garage door removal and disposal costs are usually included in the replacement estimates.
