How long does an installation take?

Most single replacements are a few hours on site once the door is ordered and delivered.

Is an insulated door worth it?

If the garage is attached, has rooms above or beside it, or you use it as a workspace, usually yes. For a detached garage you barely enter, often not. You will get a straight answer rather than an upsell.

Some cities require one for a door replacement, and high-wind areas more often do. Your technician will tell you what applies where you are.

A new garage door

The door is the largest moving object in the house and usually the biggest thing on its front. It is worth getting the measurements and the insulation right.

While you wait — please don't

Springs must be matched to the new door. Reusing the old ones on a heavier door is a common shortcut that fails early.
In high-wind and coastal areas the door may need a specific wind rating, and that is not optional.

What has probably happened

The existing door is at the end of its life, rusted or repeatedly failing.
Damage that is beyond a sensible repair.
The garage is too hot or too cold, and the door is uninsulated.
