How much does a new garage door cost?

A typical commercial garage door costs anywhere from $1,000 to $6,000, depending on the size of the opening, the quality of the materials, and the overall door style. Larger doors, heavier-duty commercial applications, or higher-cycle systems designed for frequent daily use can increase the total cost.

More complex or custom commercial garage door projects can exceed $10,000 or more. This may include oversized doors, specialty finishes, insulated steel doors, rolling steel doors, high-cycle hardware, or doors built to meet specific wind-load or operational requirements.

Other factors that affect pricing include installation complexity, ceiling height, available clearance, electrical needs for operators, and any structural modifications required for older or non-standard buildings. Because commercial garage doors play a critical role in safety, security, and daily operations, proper installation and long-term reliability are key considerations alongside upfront cost.

How much does a garage door opener cost?

The cost of a new garage door opener typically ranges from $400 to $2,000, depending on the type of opener and the features you choose. Basic chain-drive openers are usually the most affordable, while quieter belt-drive systems, wall-mounted openers, and commercial-grade operators fall toward the higher end of the range.

Pricing can also be affected by added features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone control, battery backup, soft start and stop operation, higher horsepower ratings, and enhanced safety features. The size and weight of your garage door, as well as whether electrical upgrades or additional hardware are needed, can also influence the final cost.

At Chattanooga Garage Door, we help homeowners and businesses choose the right garage door opener based on performance, reliability, and daily use. We provide free estimates and professional installation to ensure your opener operates safely and smoothly for years to come.

How do I know if my garage door needs repair or replacement?

In many cases, a garage door can be repaired rather than replaced, especially if the issue involves worn springs, rollers, cables, or the opener. Common signs that repair may be needed include unusual noises, slow or uneven movement, the door going off track, or difficulty opening and closing.

Replacement may be the better option if your garage door has significant damage, repeated breakdowns, outdated or unsafe components, or poor insulation. Older doors with bent or cracked panels, rust, or structural issues often cost more to keep repairing over time. A new garage door can also improve curb appeal, energy efficiency, and overall reliability.

At Chattanooga Garage Door, our technicians will inspect your door and give an honest recommendation based on safety, performance, and long-term value. We provide free estimates so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

Is it safe to repair a garage door myself?

Garage doors contain heavy components under high tension, especially springs and cables. Attempting repairs without proper training can be dangerous and may cause injury or additional damage.



We recommend having all repairs performed by experienced garage door technicians.

How long does a garage door typically last?

The lifespan of a garage door depends on usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Many doors last 15 to 30 years with proper care, while components like springs and openers may need replacement sooner.



Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your system.

Do you offer emergency garage door service?

Yes. We provide emergency garage door repair for situations where a door will not open or close, is off track, or creates a safety concern for your home or business. Emergency availability may vary, so we recommend contacting us as soon as an urgent issue occurs.
