Most homeowners only replace a garage door once or twice, so there’s no reference point for what it should cost. Short answer for the South Bay: a standard single steel door runs about $700–$1,500 installed, a double door $1,300–$2,600, and custom wood or full-view glass climbs to $3,000–$10,000+. Below is what actually drives that number, so you can tell a fair quote from a padded one. This page covers replacing the whole door — for repair pricing (springs, openers, cables) see our garage door pricing page. Free in-home quotes: call 650-910-6090.
What Actually Drives the Price
- Size: Single vs Double – A double door is roughly twice the panel area and needs heavier springs and hardware, so it typically runs 60–90% more than a comparable single — not double.
- Material – Steel is the value baseline. Composite and fiberglass sit above it, and real wood or full-view aluminium-and-glass are the premium tiers.
- Insulation Level – Single-layer is cheapest. Two-layer polystyrene adds a few hundred dollars; three-layer polyurethane adds more but is the right call for attached or converted garages.
- Style & Detailing – Flush and raised-panel are baseline. Carriage detailing, decorative hardware, and windows each add cost, and custom sizes add the most.
- Opener Included or Not – Reusing a sound opener saves money. A new belt-drive or smart opener adds roughly $300–$650 installed with remotes programmed.
- Removal, Disposal & Access – Hauling the old door away is usually included. Awkward access, rotted framing, or a non-square opening add labor.
What’s Included in a Quote
A real quote should cover the door, tracks and hardware, correctly-sized springs for the actual door weight, installation labor, removal and haul-away of the old door, and a balance and safety test. If a quote is vague about springs or haul-away, ask — that’s where surprise line items hide.
Repair or Replace?
A single failed part — spring, cable, roller, opener — is almost always cheaper to repair. Replacement wins when panels are structurally damaged or rotted, the door is 15+ years old, or repairs are becoming frequent. We give you the honest comparison rather than defaulting to the bigger job.
Replacement Cost by Door Type
Installed South Bay ranges, including hardware, labor and haul-away:
Standard Steel (single)
$700–$1,500. Raised or flush panel, uninsulated or lightly insulated. The value baseline.
Insulated Steel (single)
$1,000–$2,600. Two- or three-layer construction — the right choice for attached garages.
Standard / Insulated Double
$1,300–$3,000. Two-car doors in steel; insulation and style push toward the upper end.
Carriage House Style
$1,200–$3,800. Decorative panels and hardware in steel or composite, wood look without the upkeep.
Wood, Fiberglass & Composite
$2,500–$6,000+. Real timber and premium composites, higher material and finishing cost.
Full-View Aluminium & Glass
$3,000–$9,000+. Architectural glass doors; heavier, so spring sizing matters.
A new garage door is also consistently one of the highest-return exterior upgrades for resale, which softens the real cost considerably if you plan to sell. We give free in-home quotes with itemised pricing and no obligation — call 650-910-6090.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the South Bay, a standard single steel door runs about $700 to $1,500 installed and a double $1,300 to $2,600. Insulated, carriage, wood, and full-view glass doors cost more. That includes the door, hardware, springs, labor, and haul-away.
No, usually 60 to 90% more rather than double. The panel area roughly doubles but you’re not paying twice for labor, and much of the hardware scales rather than duplicates.
It should. Removal and haul-away of the old door and hardware is included in our quotes. Always confirm this is included when comparing quotes — it’s a common hidden extra.
If the opener is over 10 to 15 years old or noisy, yes — it’s cheaper to do together than as a separate visit later, and a new door on a tired opener often exposes the opener’s weakness.
Almost always, if it’s a single failed part. Springs, cables, rollers, and opener components are far cheaper than a new door. Replacement makes sense with structural panel damage, a 15+ year old door, or repeated failures.
Usually insulation level, spring quality and cycle rating, whether haul-away is included, and whether the springs are sized to your actual door weight. The cheapest quote often uses lower-cycle springs that fail sooner.
Garage door replacement consistently ranks among the highest-return exterior upgrades, recouping a large share of its cost and noticeably improving curb appeal when selling.
No. New door quotes are free and include an in-home measurement and a walkthrough of styles, materials, and insulation options with itemised pricing. Call 650-910-6090.
About 3 to 4 hours for a single door and 4 to 6 for a double, including removal of the old one. Most replacements are finished in a single day.
