Frequently asked questions
Is a new garage door worth it?
Yes — a midrange garage door replacement recoups 194% of its cost at resale according to Remodeling Magazine's 2025 Cost vs Value Report, making it the single highest-ROI home improvement. Beyond resale, new doors improve curb appeal, energy efficiency (insulated doors cut garage heat loss 50–70%), security, and daily convenience with modern openers.
How long does garage door installation take?
A straightforward replacement takes 3–6 hours for a professional installer. Removing the old door takes 1–2 hours, installing the new door and tracks takes 2–3 hours, and setting up the opener takes 30–60 minutes. Custom sizes or structural modifications can extend the job to a full day.
How long do garage doors last?
Steel garage doors last 20–30 years with minimal maintenance. Wood doors last 15–25 years but need repainting/restaining every 2–4 years. Aluminum: 20+ years. Fiberglass: 15–20 years. Springs are the component that fails first — torsion springs last 10,000–20,000 cycles (7–14 years), extension springs 5,000–10,000 cycles (5–9 years).
