What moves the price
- Size: a 16x7 two-car door costs more than a 9x7 single door.
- Material: steel costs less than composite, wood or full-view aluminum and glass.
- Insulation: DASMA defines an insulated door as one with sections that contain insulating material. More insulation usually means a higher price.
- Windows and glass: an insulated glass upgrade adds $400 to $1,200.
- Color and finish: a custom color adds $300 to $1,200.
- Custom size or special order: add 20% to 40%, and the lead time is 4 to 8 weeks.
How to compare insulation numbers
Two different numbers describe garage door insulation, and DASMA says they cannot be compared with each other. A calculated R-value describes a door section only. A tested U-factor describes the whole installed door, including joints, hardware and seals. A higher R-value is better, and a lower U-factor is better.
When two quotes list insulation, ask which kind of number each one is. Compare R-values with R-values and U-factors with U-factors.
Wind and building rules
Some areas set a design wind load for garage doors, and DASMA publishes a separate inspection guideline for wind load rated doors. Ask the installer whether your door needs a wind rating and have the rating written on the quote. Your city building department and your HOA documents say what applies to you; see HOA and city rules.
What a quote should list
- Door model, size, color and window layout
- Insulation type and whether the figure is an R-value or a U-factor
- Track, springs, hinges and weatherstripping, and whether they are new
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Opener work, if any, listed on its own line
- Lead time for a special order
A quote that lumps everything under one number is hard to compare. See new garage doors for the styles we install.

Questions people ask
How much does a new garage door cost?
A non-insulated steel 16x7 door costs $1,400 to $2,400. An insulated steel 16x7 door costs $1,800 to $3,600, and a single 9x7 steel door costs $1,100 to $2,200. Carriage house, wood and glass doors cost more.
How long does it take to install a new garage door?
It depends on the door, the track and whether an opener is replaced, so we tell you when we book the visit. A special order or custom size has a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks before installation.
Is an insulated garage door worth the extra cost?
Insulated steel doors start at $1,800 for a 16x7 door, against $1,400 for non-insulated. Whether it pays off depends on your garage, so ask which insulation figure the maker lists.
What is the difference between R-value and U-factor?
DASMA says an R-value is calculated for a door section, and a U-factor is tested on the whole installed door. They are not reciprocals and cannot be compared with each other.
