Garage door replacement
At this time my business is really geared more toward the service and repair side of the business and less toward new garage door installation. When someone asks me to install a new garage door for them, if I have time for the project, I try to accommodate the request. If my service work has me very busy I may not have the time to devote to their project.
So, having said that, the next section is intended to provide information for those considering having their garage door replaced. There are many considerations, not the least of which is cost. Basic garage doors are very affordable. Higher end garage doors can be ridiculously expensive.
Virtually all garage door companies provide and install steel garage doors. Some will install wooden doors even though wood doors are pretty much out of fashion. A few garage door companies specialize in custom made wood doors which are total works of art. Most likely, if you get a new garage door installed it will be a steel garage door. Steel garage doors are available in a variety of styles with options to suit virtually any architectural and aesthetic criteria.
If you live in a neighborhood that has a Home Owners Association they may require you to submit your plans to them for approval.
Measure For A New Door
If you are interested in getting quotes for a new garage door over the phone from any garage door company, it will be necessary to whip out your handy-dandy tape measure. The easiest thing to do is simply measure the width and the height of the door from the inside. Don’t include the track in your measurement, just the door itself. You can measure for headroom by measuring the height of the ceiling over the top of the closed garage door. If you have over 13″ of headroom you should be ok with standard track for your new garage door. Any less and you may need special low headroom track solutions. You can also measure the width and height of the opening. This can be done from the outside with the garage door open or closed.
These measurements are absolutely required when when trying to get a serious quote over the phone for a new garage door. Even with these measurements, a garage door company will still need to conduct a pre-install site survey.
Make sure that the quotes you get are for replacement of the complete garage door and it’s supporting components. As always, the garage door opener is a completely separate issue. Some garage door companies take shortcuts like re-using the old track, springs, rollers and hinges. Those kind of shortcuts are foolish even if they make the project cost less.
Also, make sure the quote includes replacement of the stop molding. This is another shortcut that I often see.
Door Styles
Different garage door styles are called by different names by different manufacturers. The names I use for the different styles are:
- Raised Panel
- Long Panel
- Flush Panel
- Basic Carriage Door
- Carriage Door with composite overlay
New Garage Door Prices
I usually prefer to start quoting prices for new doors over the phone. I must, of course, know what size door your house needs, how many and what style you are interested in. If you like my price then we can go to the next step; the site survey. During the site survey I will be looking for any unusual challenges to the project like:
- rotten framing members
- termite damage to framing
- framing out of square
- uneven floors
- odd size openings
- head room clearance
- side room clearance
- access to job site, steep or narrow driveways, etc
- room to work in the garage
Warranty
Any garage door that I install comes with a one year warranty in addition to any manufacturers warranty.
