A Guide to Garage Door Installation Cost 2024

Replacing a garage door costs between $750 and $5,500 on average, according to our home renovation cost calculator. Factors such as size, design and materials can contribute to the final price.

A single garage door made of a relatively inexpensive material like steel or aluminum will likely land on the lower end of the scale, while expenses for premium designs (such as a French or carriage style) and high-end materials (like faux wood or composite) can add up.
