A new garage door costs about $1,400 to $2,400 for a plain steel door and $1,800 to $3,600 for an insulated steel door, installed, for a standard 16x7 size. Carriage, wood and glass doors cost more. The final price depends on size, insulation, windows, color and hardware, and we confirm it after we see your door.
These are our approved price ranges for a new door, installed. Every number is a range because two doors of the same size can differ in insulation, glass and finish.
| Door | Price range | What changes it |
|---|---|---|
| Steel door, non-insulated, 16x7 | $1,400 to $2,400 | Size, color and windows |
| Insulated steel door, short panel, 16x7 | $1,800 to $3,400 | Insulation, windows and color |
| Insulated steel door, long panel, 16x7 | $1,800 to $3,600 | Insulation, windows and color |
| Single steel door, 9x7 | $1,100 to $2,200 | Insulation, windows and color |
| Carriage house door, steel | $2,200 to $4,500 | Hardware, windows and color |
| Carriage house door, wood-look composite | $2,800 to $5,500 | Overlay style, windows and finish |
| Modern flush or contemporary door | $3,500 to $9,000 | Material, glass and finish |
| Full-view aluminum and glass door, 16x7 | $4,500 to $9,000 | Glass type and frame color |
Final price is confirmed after we see the door and the opening. Prices reviewed November 2026.
Size is the first factor. A single door costs less than a double. A custom size or special order adds 20% to 40% and the lead time is 4 to 8 weeks.
Brochures quote either an R-value or a U-factor, and they are not the same thing. DASMA, the garage door trade association, explains that a U-factor comes from testing the whole installed door, while an R-value is calculated for a single section. It says the two are not comparable and are not reciprocals of each other for garage doors.
For a fair comparison, ask each seller for the same kind of number on the same door. A lower U-factor means less heat passes through. Do not set one door's R-value against another door's U-factor. See insulated garage doors for Massachusetts winters for more on choosing.
A clear quote names every part of the job so two offers can be compared line by line.
A town building department can require a permit for a door replacement. One Massachusetts town's guide lists window or exterior door replacement among the work that needs a permit, and it says ordinary repairs that do not affect the structure or its systems do not. Each town sets its own practice, so check with your building department before you order.
Homes in a local historic district or a condominium may need approval first. See historic districts and carriage-style doors and HOA, condo and town rules.
If the door is a few years old and only a spring, cable or roller failed, a repair is usually cheaper than a new door. A door with several bent sections, a worn track or a discontinued style is a better case for replacement. Read repair or replace and see garage door repair before you decide.
Emil Garage Doors installs new garage doors and repairs springs, cables and openers in Massachusetts, including Framingham, Leominster and Marlborough. Call or send your details with the door size and a photo, and we book a visit to measure and quote.
Our ranges run from $1,400 to $2,400 for a plain steel 16x7 door up to $4,500 to $9,000 for a full-view aluminum and glass door, installed. We confirm the final price after we see the door.
Installation is part of the installed price ranges above. If you only need an opener put in, labor alone runs $150 to $450 depending on the opener type.
A standard replacement is usually a single visit once the door arrives. Stock doors are quicker to get, and a custom size or special order has a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks.
It depends on your town. Some building departments treat a door replacement as work that needs a permit, so ask yours before you order.
