How this calculator is built
Unit costs with sources
This model cites 7 sources for its line-item cost and regional labor inputs.
Regional labor adjustment
The state 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?
Replacing a single insulated steel door installed typically runs about $900–$1,800, while a double door lands around $2,000–$3,500. Non-insulated steel is the budget option; custom wood, composite, and full-view glass cost the most. Use the calculator above for a range matched to your door size and type.
Should I add a new opener?
A new automatic opener, installed, typically adds about $300–$650 for a chain-drive and more for a quiet belt-drive or wall-mount unit. Toggle 'New automatic opener' to include it; leave it off if your existing opener is being reused.
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
Insulated steel costs more than a bare single-layer door but adds an R-value, quieter operation, and more dent resistance — worth it for attached garages and living space above or beside the garage. The 'Door type' selector scales the estimate across non-insulated, insulated, and premium doors.
