FAQ
Garage Door Installation questions
What is the average cost of installing a garage door?
A single residential garage door installation typically runs from around $1,200 to $3,500 installed, depending on size, material, and whether it is insulated. Custom, carriage-style, or hurricane-rated doors run higher, often $2,500 to $6,000, because of the materials and reinforced hardware involved. We give you a written number before any work starts, so you are never guessing.
Do you need a permit for a garage door in Florida?
In most of Florida, yes, especially if the new door is wind-load rated or you are replacing an old door with a hurricane-rated one, which is required by current code in many counties. We handle what is needed for the install and can tell you exactly what applies to your address before we order the door.
What brand of garage doors are best?
We install CHI garage doors because they hold up well in Florida heat and humidity and come in eight prefinished colors at no extra cost. Paired with a LiftMaster opener, it is a combination we trust enough to put our own name behind on every install.
What is the lifespan of a garage door spring?
A torsion spring is rated for a number of open-close cycles, usually translating to about 7 to 10 years of normal residential use. Springs on doors that open several times a day, like in a business or a home with multiple drivers, wear out faster. If your spring is original and your door is older, it is worth having it looked at before it breaks.
Will you sell me a whole new door when I only need a repair?
No. If a repair fixes the problem, that is what we quote. This site is about new installations, but if your door is repairable rather than due for replacement, we will tell you that straight.
Can someone actually install my door today?
We run next-day installs on most residential jobs once the door and opener are confirmed in stock. Same-day is possible depending on the door and your location. Call and we will tell you honestly what is realistic for your job.
Is the price you quote on the phone the price I pay?
We give a free written quote before any work starts, based on your door, your opening, and what you want installed. That is the number you pay, not a starting point that grows once we are in your garage.
How far do you travel for an installation?
We travel up to two hours from Sebring for a new garage door installation. If you are outside that range, call anyway and we will tell you if it is workable.
