Question 1

How much does a new garage door and opener cost together?

Accepted Answer

Total cost for a new door, new opener, and professional installation typically falls between $1,500 and $3,350 — single-car doors toward the lower end, double-car or insulated doors toward the higher end.

Question 2

How long does garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard single-door swap is usually a same-day job. If the opening also needs track, header, or framing adjustments, expect it to run into a second day.

Question 3

What size garage door do I need?

Accepted Answer

Most single-car openings are 8 or 9 feet wide, and double-car openings are 16 feet — but older homes in the Triangle don't always match the modern standard, so we measure the actual opening rather than assume.

Question 4

How do I choose a garage door company?

Accepted Answer

Favor a company that quotes you after actually seeing the opening rather than over the phone, carries proper licensing and insurance, and walks you through door and opener options honestly instead of pushing the priciest package first.
