Full services directory How it worksFor prosAbout Get matched Call (866) 582-8523It 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 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.
Everything we publish on garage doors, grouped the way homeowners actually search — not the way a company would organise it.
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.
We look up the licence with the issuing state or local authority and record the date we checked it.
General liability and, where it applies, workers’ compensation — confirmed with the carrier, not taken on trust.
We read the recent negatives as well as the average, and we look at how the pro answered them.
A licence that lapses drops the pro out of matching. Every record carries the date it was last verified.
Ranges, with the source and the date underneath. Anyone quoting you a single national number is guessing, and you should know enough to notice.
No verified garage doors price ranges published yet.
We don’t publish a cost until we can show the data behind it. If you need a
number today, the quote form gives you real prices from local companies.
Three ways to get this work done. Here’s what each one actually gives you.
| HomeMatchup | Typical lead site | DIY | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How many companies call you | A short, named shortlist you agreed to | Often 4–5+ at once, sold to whoever buys the lead | None — the work is on you |
| Licence & insurance | Checked against the issuing authority, with a date on the record | Usually self-reported by the contractor | Your own permits and liability |
| What it costs you | Free — pros pay us, and only for a real match | Free, but your number is resold | Materials plus your time |
| Price guidance before you talk | Published ranges with the data behind them | Rarely shown before you hand over details | You research it yourself |
| If it goes wrong | You have a named, verified company and a record of the checks | Hard to trace which site sold the lead | No recourse |

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.

The equipment you'll actually be choosing between.
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.
