A new garage door is usually the highest-ROI exterior upgrade a homeowner can make — Remodeling magazine consistently ranks it in the top three for cost-to-resale recovery. Beyond resale, a new door brings modern insulation (R-12 to R-18), pinch-resistant section design, factory-finished colors that won't fade for a decade, and current safety hardware that meets UL-325 and battery-backup safety codes codes. Our new-door installs are turn-key: free on-site consultation, written quote good for 30 days, factory-direct ordering, and 4–6 hour install with fast disposal of your old door.
We carry Clopay (Premium, Gallery, Avante full-view), Amarr (Classica, Heritage, Olympus), Wayne Dalton (8500, 9100), and CHI for budget-conscious projects. Carriage-style, contemporary flush, full-view aluminum-and-glass, and traditional raised-panel are all in our standard catalog. For custom architectural doors, we partner with specialty manufacturers on lead times of 4–10 weeks.
Financing is available through Synchrony at 0% APR for the first 12 months on installs over $1,500. Fast approval, no prepayment penalty, and the financing can be applied to add-ons like a new opener, smart-hub, or insulation upgrade in the same project.
Signs you need new door install
Door is 20+ years old
Doors from the early 2000s and earlier predate modern insulation, pinch-resistant joints, and current safety codes. A new install brings the system to current standards.
Multiple panel damage
When three or more sections are dented, rusted, or cracked, full-door replacement is more cost-effective than panel-by-panel repair.
New doors recover 90%+ of cost in resale value and dramatically improve curb appeal. Pre-listing is the sweet spot for ROI.
Energy bills creeping up
Old uninsulated doors leak conditioned air into attached garages. An R-12 to R-18 insulated door noticeably reduces AC load and bill.
Aesthetic mismatch with the rest of the house
A new door is the fastest way to refresh a home's street view — particularly with carriage-style or full-view designs that don't look like a 'garage door' at all.
Common causes & what we fix
Cumulative impact damage
Years of small dents, dings, and weather damage add up. At some point repair stops making economic sense versus replacement.
Spring/cable systems past design life
When the springs, cables, and rollers are all due for replacement on a 15+ year old door, the cost gets within reach of a new door — and the new door comes with all-new everything.
Insulation/energy goals
Building science improvements over the last 15 years mean a new R-18 door performs dramatically better than even a high-end door from 2008.
Design refresh
Carriage-style, modern flush, and full-view doors didn't exist as off-the-shelf options 15 years ago. Homeowners refreshing the home aesthetic often start with the garage.
Smart-home integration goals
Pairing a new door with a new opener (MyQ, HomeKit, Alexa) creates a unified install with one warranty, one tech visit, and one project.

Frequently asked about new door install
Top questions homeowners searching for New Door Install near me ask us:
How long until the new door arrives?
Stock doors (Clopay Premium, Amarr Heritage in standard colors) ship from regional distribution in 5–10 business days. Special-order doors (full-view, custom carriage, custom colors) run 2–6 weeks.
What's the install day like?
We arrive on time, lay drop cloths inside the garage, remove the old door section by section, install the new tracks and panels, hang the opener if it's being replaced, program everything, and clean up. Total time 4–6 hours; most homeowners can park inside that evening.
Do I need a new opener too?
Not always. If your opener is under 8 years old and a major brand (LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain), we'll reuse it and re-program the travel/force. Older or off-brand openers are usually better replaced for reliability.
What about permits or HOA?
Most cities don't require permits for residential garage door replacement (we'll tell you if yours does). HOA approval timelines vary — we provide spec sheets and color samples for your HOA submission.
What financing is available?
Synchrony 0% APR for 12 months on qualifying projects. Longer terms (24, 36, 60 months) at low fixed rates are also available. Fast approval, no prepayment penalty.
