Cost Factors To Replace Garage Door
Additional cost considerations when replacing a garage door include:
- Door Type – New doors vary in price depending on the material, style, customizations, size, weight, and hardware.
- Door Features – Optional features include windows, screens, walk-through doors, insulation, or being hurricane-rated, which increases the price.
- Labor – Local construction costs, transportation fees, reconnecting the old opener, adding weather stripping, and replacing heavy or over-sized doors affect the price.
- New Opener – Installing a new opener costs more and may require adding an electrical outlet.
- Resizing The Opening – Creating custom door sizes or repairing a damaged door opening may be necessary.
Over the years, your garage door takes a beating. Not only can the cables and springs break under the repeated stress of moving that heavy weight, the door panels themselves can deteriorate from moisture or suffer impact damage. (We’ve all seen the effects of a “slight miscalculation,” when a car has been backed into a closed garage door.)
If it’s time for a whole new door, spend some time considering your options before you select the replacement. The price will be determined by such things as size (single- or double-car), material (usually wood, wood composite, steel or fiberglass), whether or not the door is insulated, and the type of hardware you choose. You will also pay more for certain style details and to have windows included.
One of the most important choices will be the type of lifting spring you choose. Older doors will most likely have extension springs – springs attached on either side of the door, that stretch along the track next to each side of the door when the door is closed. The newer choice is to use torsion springs, which are usually placed just above the top section of the door and mounted to the header. This type of spring does not expand and contract when the door is moved, but instead uses a wound spring that resembles a corkscrew. Advocates of the torsion spring point to increased safety for the homeowner and smoother operation because it better balances the door.
Finally, consider any locks you may desire. If you will be using an electric door opener, you probably won’t need a lock on the door for security, but you may want a release mechanism on the front of the door in case of power failure – especially if there is no other access to the garage.
Garage doors have become increasingly important to the “look” of a property, so – whether you are repairing or replacing your door – you will want to make decisions that will give you the best appearance, function and safety.
