Keep reading to learn more about garage installation costs and what to expect.
Garage Door Size
One of the main cost factors is the size of your new door. For a single size door, you can expect to pay $200 before garage door installation. The cost will increase the bigger the door is.
Double doors will usually cost between $400 to $12,000 depending on the materials and style. A double door is usually 16′ wide and between 7-8 feet high.
Garage Screen
If you want to screen your garage in, to keep the bugs out while you are working on your business or hanging out in your garage, you have a few options. If you opt for a retractable screen the cost will start around $100 for the manual option and can go up to $500 on average for a motorized retractable option. A retractable screen means that you have to lower and raise it every time someone wants to go through.
Another option is a motorized screen that will let you raise and lower the screen with the push of a button. The cost of a motorized option will start around $500.
The third option is a walk-through screen that hangs and uses a magnet to seal itself. This is the cheapest option but will not seal the garage as well as the other two options. The price will vary based on the mesh weight and type but you can expect the costs to start between $25-$50.
Installation Costs
Most of the time, a professional will charge a flat rate to install a new garage door. For every single door, you can expect to pay around $200. For a sectional door, you can expect the installation costs to start around $375.
If you have a custom door or a heavier than average door then you will have higher installation costs. Opting for a garage door opener will also raise the installation price. A single garage door with a garage door opener will cost around $370 to install plus the cost of the garage door itself.
