What affects the price

Insulation level

For attached garages in Columbus where January temperatures drop below 20 degrees, a double or triple-layer insulated door makes a real difference in comfort and energy costs. The premium over a single-layer door is typically $150–$400 and usually pays back over time.

Door size

Standard double-car doors are 16 feet wide by 7 feet tall. Oversize openings cost more because door panels are custom-sized and spring hardware is heavier gauge. Many Lewis Center and Dublin homes with 3-car garages have oversize openings.

Style

A plain raised-panel steel door is the most cost-effective option. Carriage-style doors with decorative hardware and windows cost significantly more but are a genuine curb appeal upgrade in neighborhoods like Upper Arlington and Dublin.

"We quoted a replacement in Upper Arlington on a home where the original wood carriage door had rotted at the bottom panels. The homeowner wanted to maintain the carriage look. A steel carriage-style door matched the original aesthetic, added insulation the original door never had, and came in under what another company had quoted for a plain steel door. The carriage premium is real but smaller than most people expect."

Replacement cost FAQs

Is old door disposal included?

Yes. We remove and dispose of the old door and all hardware as part of the installation. No separate disposal needed.

Do I need a new opener with a new door?

Not always. If your existing opener is in good working order and compatible with the new door's weight, we can reuse it. We check compatibility before quoting.

How long does installation take?

3–5 hours for a standard residential replacement, including full system test before we leave.

Do you give a written quote?

Yes, always. Written price before we start anything. No surprises on the invoice.
