Sourced installed range, not a quote

$650 to $2,500

Garage door replacement cost for a steel door has a typical figure of $1,600, within a sourced range of $650 to $2,500. Steel is the headline example used on this page, and the figure is for one door. HomeGuide gives installed costs; Angi does not say whether its size and material figures include installation. Use the figure as a starting budget, not a quote. Door material, door size and additional work such as an opener change the total.

By door material

Each row is a price for one door by material. Fixr's figures date from January 2025, and only its installed figures are used, because most of its figures are materials only. Aluminum, wood, glass and composite rows use two sources. Angi does not say whether its figures include installation, so read the combined rows as planning figures.

By door size

The size tables in the sources do not name a door material. In the estimator, a size replaces the steel starting row only; doors of different sizes and materials are priced separately in the estimator only for steel. Choosing a size for another material has no effect.

Estimate your replacement

Choose a door material, a size if you chose steel, and any additional work. Not sure keeps the material starting range. Sizes only apply to steel, because the size tables do not name a material. Area level picks a part of the sourced range; it is not a local price.

Assumptions

  • Installed base: Steel, no size selected.
  • Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
  • No applicable extras included.
  • Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
  • Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.

Where these numbers come from

Angi, HomeGuide and Fixr supply the published figures. Their dates and scope notes are shown below. Fixr's page dates from January 2025, so its figures are older than the others. Angi does not say whether its figures include installation. The checked date records when the dataset was reviewed, not a promise that prices are unchanged.

The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For an even set, the median is the mean of the central pair. Typical is the median of the source midpoints. Derived figures round to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above it, with exact halves rounded up. The estimator selects its base bounds, adds applicable extras in full and rounds the final totals.

How we calculate

Questions people ask

What is a typical garage door replacement cost?

For a steel door, the typical figure is $1,600, within $650 to $2,500. Angi separately gives a national average per door of $1,231, with a typical range of $754 to $1,707.

Do the door size prices depend on material?

The size tables in the sources do not name a door material. In the estimator, sizes replace the steel starting row only, so different sizes are priced separately only for steel. A one-car door is $500 to $2,700 and a two-car double door is $1,000 to $4,100.

Do these prices include installation?

HomeGuide gives installed costs, and only Fixr's installed figures are used. Angi does not say whether its size and material figures include installation, although it says many installers bundle labor into one fee.

How much does an automatic opener add?

The combined opener figure is $675, within $250 to $1,100. Angi describes its figure as added to a manual door price. Select it in the estimator to add it in full.

How current are the garage door sources?

Angi was updated in 2026 and HomeGuide's byline date is in 2025. Fixr's figures date from January 2025, which is older than the other two sources. The source list shows each date so you can judge freshness yourself.

Compare written quotes for the same material, size and additional work, rather than judging a quote against the typical figure alone. Ask whether removal, an opener and any repairs are included, and keep the source dates beside the comparison.
