New Garage Doors
A new door changes how your house looks from the street and how the garage works every day. We help you choose and install it.
- Modern, glass and carriage styles
- Insulated steel and wood-look doors
- Installation and old door removal
- Opener and track included in the plan
New garage door installation covers choosing the style, material and insulation, measuring the opening, installing the door, springs and tracks, and connecting the opener. We supply and install modern, contemporary, glass, carriage-house and classic steel garage doors, and we haul away the old one. Call (213) 340-4232 or send photos of your home for an estimate.
Pick the look first, then the build
Start with how the door should look next to your windows, trim and front door. Modern and contemporary homes often use flat panels or full-view glass with an aluminum frame. Traditional and Craftsman homes suit raised panels or carriage-house styling with decorative hardware.
Then choose the build: insulation, panel thickness, finish and color. A warmer or quieter garage depends mostly on insulation and the way the door seals at the floor and sides.
- Modern and contemporary flat panels
- Full-view glass and aluminum
- Carriage-house styles with windows and hardware
- Classic raised and flush steel panels
Garage door materials compared
Every material has a trade-off. We help you pick based on your climate, budget and how the garage is used.
| Material | Best for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Insulated steel | Most homes; low maintenance, strong, many styles | Dents on impact; thinner doors are less durable |
| Wood and wood-look | Carriage-house and custom looks | Real wood needs refinishing; wood-look steel or composite does not |
| Aluminum and glass | Modern homes that want light and a clean frame | Less insulation, more glare and heat in the garage |
| Fiberglass | Coastal homes where rust is a concern | Can fade over time in strong sun |
| Vinyl | Rough-use garages where dents matter | Fewer color and style options |

Styles we install and replace

From measurement to finished door
Most standard two-car replacements are scheduled as a single install day. Larger or custom doors can take longer.
Measure and choose
We measure the opening, headroom and side room, then help you choose style, color and insulation.
Order and schedule
We order the door to your measurements and set an install day.
Remove and install
We take out the old door and hardware, install the new door, springs and tracks, and set the balance.
Connect the opener and test
We connect your opener, or install a new one (with battery backup, which California law requires on new residential openers), then test the safety reverse and seals.
What to check before a new door
Replacing a door on an older opener has a legal side in California. Health and Safety Code section 19892 says a replacement residential garage door cannot be connected to an existing opener that has no battery backup. If your opener is older, the opener usually gets replaced with the door.
Also think about permits and HOA rules. Many HOAs review door style and color. Ask your city's building department whether the work needs a permit; rules differ by city.
- Photograph the opening and your home for an accurate estimate
- Ask your HOA about style and color rules
- Plan for a new opener if yours is old

Emil is delightful, knowledgeable, professional, and capable. He promised to make the process easy and he did. From our first contact Thursday mid-day through completion of the project Saturday at Noon, everything was 100% perfect, and we are extremely happy. We are amazed when we look outside and see our beautiful new door, so soon after searching on google. Emil and his company deserve 100 stars but we are limited to only 5Dawn · Google review
It went very well, with the job being completed in three days. We waited few months for the supply chain to kick in ( Covid related delays ) and finally deliver the products. It was so worth the wait. Great installers, Emil and his team are professional and friendly, too, and patient in answering questions.Rachel · Google review
Doesn't get any better than this guy! I have recently purchased a condo with a broken garage door opener. It was missing some brackets. I called them, and Emil came out promptly the next morning. On time! He was able to run back to his shop and get the bracket I needed. It took him less than an hour to complete the entire project! My garage door works great now. I said a little thank you to Emil as I opened my garage door late last night and drove in my garage. I would definitely call him again if I needed anything done with my garage door. Highly recommend, plus he's just a super nice guy, which the process so much easier. Thanks Emil!Winston · Google review

Called the office to let them know my issues and asked if we could get someone out to look at my door. Was told between 11-12...drove home from work at 11:05 and Emil was waiting and ready to get to work. Not knowing anything about how to fix a garage door, Emil did a great job explaining why I was having issues. Quoted a reasonable price (well at least what I thought was reasonable) and less than 40 minute later he had fixed the problem. Great customer service from intake of the call to fixing my door! If you need a garage door repair...support local business and give them your business, you won't be disappointed.Guadalupe · Google review
My garage door and opener were pretty banged up and not working properly. Emil Garage Doors came out, did a thorough evaluation of door and all it's parts. Even though the previous home owner rigged up the garage door opener with the wrong springs and parts, Emil repaired the door and saved us money by using some of the old parts. That kind of honesty will get 5 stars all day long. Thank you Emil Garage Doors for your great service.Bradford · Google review

New Garage Doors: questions we hear
How much does a new garage door cost?
It depends on size, material, insulation, windows and hardware. Typical ranges are in the price table on this page. We give a firm estimate after we see the opening or photos of your home.
How long does garage door installation take?
A standard two-car replacement is usually scheduled as one install day. Custom, glass or oversize doors may take longer.
Do I need a new opener with a new door?
Not always, but in California a replacement door cannot be connected to an older residential opener without battery backup. If yours lacks it, the opener is replaced with the door. See opener installation.
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
It helps if the garage is attached, used as a workspace or shares a wall with living space. Insulation also makes the door stiffer and quieter.
Can you match my existing home style?
Yes. Send photos of the house. We recommend styles and colors that fit the trim, windows and front door.
Do you remove the old garage door?
Yes. We remove and haul away the old door, springs and hardware as part of the job.
