Older single-pane door on a bedroom-over-garage
R-16 or R-18 insulation upgrade with vinyl-jamb thermal break.
Service
New garage door installation, measured accurately and installed clean.
New door installs go wrong most often at the measurements and the finish trim. We measure headroom, sideroom, backroom, and shaft length before ordering, and we take the old jambs, stops, and weatherstrip off cleanly so the new door seals properly on day one.
Common symptoms
What we see on new door installation calls.
Wood door rotted at the bottom
Full steel or composite replacement with a proper aluminum bottom retainer and new astragal seal.
Storm-damaged panel or bent tracks
Insurance-friendly documentation, section-first quoting, and full replacement only when it's actually cheaper.
Curb-appeal remodel
Carriage-house styles with hardware, glass options, and paint-matched trim to fit the front of the house.
Two-car door on a wide opening
Structural review of the header, proper double-track spacing, and heavier torsion spring sizing.

Complete opener + door package with a jackshaft or standard trolley depending on ceiling height.
How it goes
Our new door installation process.
Measure the opening, headroom, sideroom, backroom, and shaft on site — not from a form.
Show samples of insulation, panel style, glass, and hardware in your driveway.
Confirm lead time (typically 1–3 weeks for stock, 4–8 for custom) and lock the price in writing.
Install day: strip the old, dry-fit the new sections, hang tracks, spring-balance, wire the opener, seal trim, sweep up.
FAQ
New Door Installation questions we hear.
What R-value do I need?
For an attached garage below living space, R-16 or higher. For a detached garage or a cold-climate mudroom entry, R-13+ still pays off in noise and comfort.
How long does installation take?
Single-car doors: half a day. Standard two-car: most of a day. Custom carriage doors with side lights and hardware: a full day, occasionally two.
Do you take the old door away?
Yes. Old door, tracks, springs, hardware, and packaging leave with us. Your garage floor gets swept before we go.
Can you match my existing trim color?
Yes — factory finish or field-paint with an exterior-grade acrylic. We can also color-match the aluminum jamb caps.
