How long does a new garage door installation take?+
A standard 16x7 double door installation runs 4-6 hours. Single 9x7 doors take 3-4 hours. That includes old-door removal, new-door install, opener setup or transfer, spring tensioning, balance testing, and hauling away the old materials at no extra charge.
What's the best garage door for a Massachusetts home?+
For an attached garage in a Massachusetts winter, an insulated steel door. The Amarr steel doors in the Door Builder come in 4 builds: single-layer steel, no insulation; double-layer steel, vinyl-backed polystyrene (R-6.64); triple-layer steel, polystyrene core (R-6.48 to R-9.05); and triple-layer steel, polyurethane core (R-13.35 to R-19.4). The higher the R-value, the warmer the garage, and an insulated door is quieter than a single-layer one. The builder also has carriage-house and modern styles; see them at /garage-doors/ (most are priced there; built-to-order lines are quoted) and we'll walk through the trade-offs during your estimate.
How much does a new garage door cost?+
A single-car door (9' x 7') runs $1,678 to $8,080 installed and a double (16' x 7') runs $2,456 to $13,081, depending on the collection, insulation level, windows and hardware. Custom wood, Foundry Reserve and odd sizes are quoted in writing. Price yours to the dollar in the Door Builder at /garage-doors/ before you call.
Do you remove and dispose of the old door?+
Yes, it is included in every installed price. We disconnect the opener, dismantle the old door, tracks and hardware, and haul it all away. You won't have any cleanup to do.
