How this calculator is built
Unit costs with sources
This model cites 2 sources for its line-item cost and regional labor inputs.
Regional labor adjustment
The province table applies local labor indexes only to labor-heavy line items.
Published methodology
The methodology page lists the formula, size drivers, labor model, and source links.
How this estimate is calculated
The model prices 5 project line items from published cost inputs. Quantities are driven by the number of doors, the door size, the door type, and whether a new opener is added or the old door removed. The selected scope and finish adjust those inputs, then the regional index changes only each line's labor share; material prices remain national.
The itemized midpoint is shown as a ±25% planning range. It is not a contractor quote: access, design choices, permits, availability, and site conditions can move the final price.

Common questions
How much does it cost to replace a garage door in Canada?
A single insulated steel door installed typically runs about $1,500–$2,500 CAD, with a mid-grade insulated door near $2,000 before tax — the calculator's default. A basic non-insulated steel door lands closer to $1,200–$1,800, while custom wood and full-view glass doors cost the most. Prices shown are before GST/PST/HST, which is added per-province at billing.
Should I add a new opener?
A new automatic opener, installed, typically adds about $400–$650 CAD for a chain-drive unit and more for a quiet belt-drive or wall-mount motor. Toggle 'New automatic opener' to include it; leave it off if your existing opener is being reused.
Is an insulated garage door worth it in a Canadian climate?
For attached garages and homes with living space above or beside the garage, an insulated steel door earns its higher price in most of Canada: it adds an R-value that keeps the garage warmer through long winters, runs quieter, and resists denting. The 'Door type' selector scales the estimate across non-insulated, insulated, and premium doors.
