What’s in these numbers
Each total is a typical job, priced the way a contractor’s estimate is priced:
- A new overhead garage door and its hardware, in the size shown, with the old door taken out.
- Overhead and profit: 20%, the standard markup on a contractor’s estimate.
- Sales tax on the materials, at the state’s average rate.
Not in them: an opener, insulated or windowed upgrades, high-grade or custom doors, framing repairs to the opening, and permits.
Sizes
| Door | Fits |
|---|---|
| 8 by 7 ft | A single bay |
| 16 by 7 ft | A two-car garage with one wide door |

Two-car garages with two single doors cost about two single doors.
What moves the price
- Size. Wider and taller doors cost more.
- Grade. High-grade and premium doors, insulated panels and windows cost more than a standard door.
- The opener. A new opener, or moving one to fit the new door, is priced on its own.
- The opening. Rotted jambs or a header that needs work are repaired first.
- Where you live. Pick your state in the box above.
