Garage Doors, a door that just works, every time

It usually starts with a door that sticks halfway and needs a shove. The hard part is not the work — it is that every garage door company sounds equally sure of itself, and you get one guess. We check licence and insurance before we introduce anyone, and we record the date we checked.

Garage Doors in short

Garage door companies handle four main jobs: repairs to springs, cables, rollers and tracks; opener installation and repair; full door replacement; and annual maintenance or safety inspections. Spring and cable work is the part you should always hire out — the counterbalance system stores enough energy to cause serious injury, and DASMA's guidance is that spring systems are dangerous and should be repaired only by trained professionals.

A new garage door averages about $1,400 installed in 2026, with most homeowners paying $1,151 to $1,869, according to This Old House. A one-car door typically runs $1,093 to $1,674 and a two-car door $2,186 to $3,348. Smaller repairs are far cheaper — torsion spring replacement is roughly $350 to $540 installed and a new opener commonly $300 to $900 with installation.

Why a pro gets to be on this list

Most sites sell your number to whoever pays the most for it. We check the garage door companies we match you with, and we publish the date we checked so you can hold us to it.

Licence checked

We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.

Insurance confirmed

General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.

Reviews read, not counted

We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.

Re-checked, not set and forgotten

A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.

Zero reviews. On purpose.

We’d rather show you nothing than show you someone else’s reviews.

Plenty of sites fill this space with reviews scraped from elsewhere, or written for them. We don’t. The first garage doors review on this page will come from a homeowner we matched, after their work was finished and paid for.

FAQ

Garage Doors questions, answered

The questions homeowners ask us most about garage doors.

Most garage doors last 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance, per This Old House's 2026 guide. The opener and springs will typically need replacing before the door does.
About $1,400 on average, most commonly $1,151 to $1,869. A one-car door runs roughly $1,093–$1,674 and a two-car door $2,186–$3,348.
Standard springs are commonly rated around 10,000 cycles, with published service lives of roughly 7 to 12 years for extension springs and 8 to 15 years for torsion springs, depending on how often you use the door.
No. DASMA states that spring systems are dangerous and should be repaired only by trained professionals. This is one of the few home repairs where the honest answer is simply do not attempt it.
Usually the photo-eye sensors are blocked, dirty, or misaligned, or the opener's travel and force limits need adjustment. Do not bypass the sensors to work around it.

The wrong garage door hire costs more than the right one.

A garage door is the heaviest moving object in the house, under spring tension. It is the most common serious DIY injury in the trade. Getting matched takes about a minute, costs nothing, and you can walk away from every quote you receive.
