How much does a contractor charge to install a garage door?

A contractor typically charges 300 to 800 dollars for labor to install a residential garage door, with the most common range landing around 400 to 600 dollars for a standard single or double door. The labor portion usually includes removing the old door, hauling it away, installing the new door panels, hardware, springs, and tracks, and balancing the door. Total project cost including the door itself runs 1,000 to 4,000 dollars for steel insulated doors, and 3,000 to 10,000 dollars or more for premium wood, carriage-house, or full-view aluminum doors. Adding a new opener bumps the install another 200 to 400 dollars. Reframing a damaged opening, electrical work, or hauling a heavy wood door away can add several hundred dollars.
