Garage Doors

[Weazl]

Hi All,

My garage door just broke and I was wondering if anyone knew ehere the best deal on a new aluminum door, installed would be? This is the first time I have to buy one of these, are they expensive to get installed? And do I need an insulated door or not? Thanks

As for a good place to buy, I can't comment, as I have not had that 'pleasure'. However, I will definitely get an insulated door if I have to replace ours. This is because I store our car in the garage, which is a radical idea in this day. Therefore, it would be good to keep the temperature a little more moderate in hot or cold weather. On the other hand, for other storage, it may not make much difference.
Cheers,
Tim

An old roommate of mine backed into the garage door at my old house. The landlord got an estimate of approx $400 to replace one panel on the cheap, uninsulated aluminum door. Hope this helps.

I have a double car garage, and I store my SUv, and all mypatio furniture and kids toys in there. Its gonna cost me isn't it?

We bought ours at HomeDepot and had them install. I can't remember the exact cost but I couldn't have installed it myself that how little the installation cost was, plus they take the old door away.

Weazl, keep us posted as to what happens as we are also looking at replacing 2 garage doors, we have wooden ones right now, but would prefer to get the aluminum insulated ones....but expensive I think!!

Myneighbour told me Home Depot has some for around 700, aluminum but not insualted so I'll have to go see. If they install,and take the old one away for a small fee that will be a bonus!!! I'll keep you posted as I want it done before the snow flies ( again ) .

I replaced on at my old house 2 years ago. It was a single, aluminum without insulation. $950 installed and old one taken away. The Door Doctor. Had to use the Door Doctor because i was in a condo and they had the rights to our condo corp (thus the reason I moved out!) Home Depot is reasonable and install is inexpensive.

Hi guys,

Just check for mine today. They told me $1000 installed for an insulated door but no windows.

I think Home Depot or Costco have some. My door is around $650 + installation $250 + taxes ..... just over $1000.

Just to give you an idea.

Good luck,

Chambo

Well,m since I got that 10% off coupon from Home Depot somoeone posted here not too long ago I think I'll try the,m - gonna price out insulated Vs non insulated aluminum dorrs with delivery & installation this weekend so I can have it done before winter. lets hope it doesnt cost me an arm and a leg or golf will be tough next year!

Surprisingly enough Home Depot had a good selection and decent prices. Their fees include delivery, installation, removal of old door and disposal, installation of existing garage door opener and new parts and weather stripping. The non insulated and insulated was only 40$ difference so I'm going for the insulated. Cheers, and thanks for the advice all.
