What a New Garage Door Costs by Material
The material sets the starting point for the price, and it decides how the door handles sun, dents and upkeep.
Steel
Steel comes in single, double and triple layers. A single-layer door is a plain steel skin. Double-layer adds insulation behind it, and triple-layer seals the insulation between two steel skins, which makes the door stiffer and quieter. A non-insulated steel door from A1 typically runs $3,000–$4,500, about $3,800, installed. An insulated steel door runs $4,300–$6,000, about $5,000. Insulated steel is a common pick in hot climates.
Wood-look
Wood-look doors use a composite or a printed steel skin to get the warmth of wood with far less upkeep. An A1 wood-look door typically runs $5,500–$8,500, about $6,800, installed. Premium composite doors can cost as much as real wood, or more.
Real wood
Real wood gives the richest look and the most room to customize, and it asks the most of you in upkeep. It’s quoted per project and usually lands above $7,800. See the styles we install on our wood garage doors page.
Aluminum and glass
Full-view aluminum and glass doors give a clean, modern look and let in daylight. Aluminum frames can get hot to the touch in strong Arizona sun and heat, and they dent more easily than steel. They’re quoted per project and usually land above $7,800. See the options on our aluminum garage doors page.
Custom and specialty
Oversized, RV and fully custom doors are quoted per project. A1 installs custom and specialty doors from top brands.
How Style Changes the Price
Raised panel and flush
Raised panel is the classic look on most homes and usually the simplest to build. Flush doors have a smooth face that suits modern houses.
Carriage house
Carriage house doors mimic old swing-out barn doors with overlays and decorative hardware, which adds to the build.
Modern and full-view
Modern doors lean on clean lines, flush panels and glass. The more glass, the more the price climbs.
Windows, hardware and finishes
- Windows: add light and style, and the glass type matters.
- Decorative hardware: handles and hinges change the look of a plain door.
- Colors and finishes: factory colors and wood-grain finishes vary by brand and model.
Your technician will go over how windows, hardware and finishes change the price of the door you choose.
How Size Changes the Price
- Single-car doors (8 or 9 feet wide) are the least expensive to buy and install.
- Double-car doors (16 feet wide) use more material and heavier springs. One double door usually costs less than two single doors.
- Taller doors (8 feet high) and oversized doors cost more because of extra panel height, track length and spring capacity.
Ask about this when you book: your technician will go over single and double door prices for your opening.
Insulation: What It Adds and When It’s Worth It
Insulation is measured as an R-value; a higher number means more resistance to heat. An insulated door makes an attached garage quieter and steadier in temperature, which matters for workshops, home gyms and rooms above or beside the garage. It also stiffens the door, so it dents less.
You can see the difference in the steel rows of the table: insulated steel from A1 typically runs $4,300–$6,000, about $5,000, compared with $3,000–$4,500 for non-insulated. For an attached garage in a hot climate, insulation is often the upgrade you notice most.
Garage Doors in Arizona Sun and Heat
In strong Arizona sun and heat, a garage door takes direct sun most of the year. An insulated door keeps the garage and the rooms next to it cooler. Lighter colors and factory finishes resist fading better than dark paint or a stain applied on site. Real wood needs refinishing more often, and glass lets heat in along with light, so ask about insulated or tinted glass. A new bottom seal with the door helps too, since seals dry out faster in the heat.
What’s Included in an Installed Price
Our new door prices are installed prices, so installation is part of the range. Before you compare two quotes, check that both cover the same things:
- Springs sized to the new door’s weight
- Tracks and rollers, if yours need replacing
- Balance and safety-sensor testing
- Taking away the old door (ask about this when you book)
- Hardware and accessories (your technician will go over this with you)
- Permits, if your area needs one (ask whether your quote includes it)
Installation, old door removal, hardware, openers, insulation and permits all shape the total, and your technician will go through each one with you. If your opener is old, a new one installed by A1 typically runs $600–$1,350, about $1,050. See our opener installation cost guide.
Is a New Garage Door a Good Investment?
In Zonda’s 2025 Cost vs. Value report, garage door replacement ranked first of all projects, recouping an estimated 268% of its cost at resale. That report’s cost basis is a remodeling average, not an A1 price. Beyond resale, a new door improves curb appeal, security and comfort, and it cuts down on repair calls.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
- Measure the opening, or let your technician measure it.
- Pick the material and style you’re leaning toward.
- Decide whether you want insulation and windows.
- Ask what the quote includes, especially removal, tracks and springs.
- Compare quotes on the same door and the same scope before you compare price.
A1 installs doors from top manufacturers, including Amarr and Clopay. We do not make doors, so we can recommend the brand and model that fits your home and budget. See our new garage door installation page for the doors we install.
If a quiet door matters, an insulated door and a belt-drive opener make the biggest difference. Phone control and battery backup come from the opener, so they’re covered in our opener installation cost guide. If something on your current door has broken, see our emergency garage door repair cost guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new garage door cost in 2026?
Most new garage doors installed by A1 cost $4,300–$7,800, and a typical installed price is about $5,600. Material, size, insulation and style move the price up or down. These are typical installed prices across A1’s service areas, not a quote.
What is the cheapest type of garage door?
A single-layer, non-insulated steel door in a plain raised-panel style is usually the least expensive new door. It is also the easiest to dent and the loudest, so many homeowners step up to insulated steel.
How much more does an insulated garage door cost?
For steel doors, a non-insulated door from A1 typically runs $3,000–$4,500, and an insulated one $4,300–$6,000, installed. For an attached garage in a hot climate, insulation usually makes the biggest difference in comfort and noise.
How much does a two-car garage door cost?
A two-car door costs more than a single-car door because it uses more material and heavier springs, but one double door usually costs less than two single doors. Your technician will go over the price for your opening.
Are wood garage doors worth the cost?
Real wood offers the richest look and the most customization, but it needs regular refinishing, especially in strong sun. Many homeowners get the same look with a wood-look composite door that needs far less upkeep.
Does the price include installation?
Yes. A1 quotes new doors as installed prices. Ask about taking away the old door when you book.
Can I install a garage door myself to save money?
We don’t recommend it. A garage door is heavy, it’s installed overhead, and its springs and cables are under high tension. That combination is why it’s one of the most dangerous projects to try yourself.
