Before you choose

Insulation

Polystyrene is rigid foam board fitted between the door's layers. Polyurethane is foam injected into the door, filling every gap, so it insulates better, makes the door stronger and cuts noise. R-value measures how well the insulation resists heat flow: the higher, the better.

Steel thickness

The lower the gauge number, the thicker and stronger the steel: 24-gauge is thicker than 27-gauge. A door with steel on both sides of an insulated core is stronger than a single steel skin.

What changes the price

The size of the opening (single or double), the style, the insulation, the windows, and whether you need a new opener. We'll go over the price of each option with you.

Each maker warrants its own door and parts. Our Limited Warranty Program covers defects in our installation workmanship for as long as the manufacturer's warranty on the door lasts. The program page has the full terms.

The openers

LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie openers

If your opener is getting old, it makes sense to replace it with the door. Belt drives are the quietest, chain drives suit heavy doors, and wall-mount openers sit beside the door instead of on the ceiling.

LiftMaster

Chamberlain Group's line for professional installers.

Drive types

BeltChainWall mount
  • myQ app on Wi-Fi models: open, close and check the door from your phone
  • Secure View models add a camera with night vision and two-way audio
  • Battery backup models keep working when the power goes out

Chamberlain

LiftMaster's sister brand, with the same myQ app.

Drive types

  • myQ connectivity on smart models
  • Some video models have a built-in 360° camera with night vision
  • The wall-mount model deadbolts the door after it closes, every time

Genie

Drive types

  • Aladdin Connect works with Alexa
  • Battery backup on some Pro models
  • Safe-T-Beam sensors reverse a closing door if something is in the way

If your opener is in good shape and meets current safety standards, it can usually stay with the new door. We'll check it when we measure. Just need a new opener? See opener installation.

Repair or replace

Not sure you need a new door?

A new door is a big purchase, and not every old door needs replacing. If the problem is a spring, a cable, the opener or one damaged panel, we'll tell you, and fix that instead.

When a new door does make sense, we'll go over the options with you and give you honest pricing with no hidden fees.

A new door usually makes more sense when:

  • Several panels are damaged
  • The door is older and matching replacement sections can't be found
  • The door is older and keeps needing repairs
  • You want better insulation, a quieter door or a new look

“…As he worked, Chad also discovered that the original garage door had actually been attached to the framing of our house with nails instead of screws. He took the time to replace all of the nails with screws, making the installation much safer and more secure. He went above and beyond to get our new garage doors installed, even staying until 9:00 p.m. one night to make sure everything was finished properly. Since the installation, both garage doors operate much more smoothly and quietly than they ever have. …”

Questions

Garage Door Replacement FAQs

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

It depends on the door and what's wrong with it. A broken spring, a worn cable, an opener problem or one dented panel can usually be fixed. If several panels are damaged, or the door is older and replacement sections can't be matched, a new door may be the better value. We'll look at it and tell you straight.

Which is better, Amarr or Clopay?

Both make insulated steel, carriage house, modern and full-view glass doors. The right one comes down to the look you want, how much insulation you need and your budget, so we show you options from both.

What does R-value mean on a garage door?

R-value measures how well the door's insulation resists heat flow. The higher the number, the better the door insulates. It matters most when the garage is attached to the house or you spend time in it.

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

Most standard installations take half a day to a full day; complex or custom doors can take longer. We'll tell you what to expect when we measure.

What's the difference between LiftMaster and Chamberlain?

They're made by the same company, Chamberlain Group, and both work with the myQ app. LiftMaster is the line sold through professional installers.

Will my old remotes work with a new opener?

Not always. Some newer openers, like Chamberlain's Security+ 3.0 models, don't work with older Security+ 2.0 remotes. We'll program your remotes when we install the opener.

What warranty comes with a new garage door?

The manufacturer warrants the door and its parts, and the terms depend on the door. Our Limited Warranty Program covers defects in our installation workmanship for as long as the manufacturer's warranty on the door lasts. The program page has the full terms.

Do you install garage doors outside Hoover?

Yes. We install new garage doors in Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Birmingham's south side, Pelham, Helena, Alabaster, Calera, Montevallo, Bessemer and the communities around them.
