That's our range to replace a garage door, installed: a single door typically costs about $1,450 and a double (two-car) door about $2,600. A new opener, removal of the old door and a permit can add to that if they aren't in the quote.
Estimate Our range, based on sources [1][2]. Planning numbers, not quotes. Material, insulation and windows move the price most.
Bars run from our Low to High figure; the dark tick marks Typical. Same numbers as the table below.

Estimate Our range, based on sources [1][2]. For each tier we pooled the low, midpoint and high figure each source publishes for a comparable scope (a single benchmark figure counts once), then used the median as Typical and the middle half of the pooled figures as Low–High. We pooled HomeGuide's and Angi's installed ranges, plus Angi's $754 – $1,707 most-pay range and $1,231 average for a typical door, from 15,434 projects. See How we build our ranges.
What the sources say Sourced
HomeGuide puts a three-car setup (one single plus one double door) at $1,700 – $6,200, and the door and hardware alone at $400 – $2,500.[1]

What drives the price
- Material. Steel and aluminum cost least; wood, composite and glass doors cost the most.
- Insulation. Insulated doors cost more but help attached garages and rooms above them.
- Style and windows. Carriage-house styles, window panels and decorative hardware add cost.
- Opener and tracks. Reusing a working opener saves money; new tracks and springs are usually included with a new door.
- Opening changes. Widening an opening or combining two single doors into one double is structural work that needs framing and often a permit.
