New garage doors are an important investment in safety and style for your home. 
When you’re in the market to replace your doors, you want to make sure every element is right, especially the price. Superior Garage Doors will work with you to determine the ideal type, style, and construction of your new doors at a fair garage door price. We conduct installations in Almont, Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, and all neighboring areas.
Factors That Affect Garage Door Price
You may want an economical replacement garage door but also one that is energy efficient and heavy duty. It’s important to make your wish list of characteristics, then carefully consider the many factors that affect garage door price:
- Door size: The typical single-car garage door size is 8’x7’ and double-car garage door size is 16’x7’. Every home does not have a standard-size garage door so width and height will impact the final cost.
- Number of doors: You may have one double-car garage door or three separate garage bays or one double door and one single door. Whatever the configuration, it will affect the cost.
- Type: Garage doors are usually made of wood, steel, or fiberglass. They all come with their own unique benefits, and they also have their own unique price points.
- Composition: Overlay + steel + insulation + steel is just one combination of layering that comprises a garage door. You may opt for double layer steel + insulation or prefer single-layer or triple-layer. The more robust the layering, the higher the price, but the sturdier the door.
- Design pattern: The price of a garage door will go up or down depending on the intricacy of the design, from bead board to recessed panels, closed panels to window panels, clear glass to frosted glass, painted doors to wooden doors, decorative hardware to no hardware.
If you’re trying to justify the price tag of a particular garage door or cut corners on cost, keep in mind that while the look of the door is important, it’s the construction and installation that are most critical.
Especially in Michigan, you want to make sure you have garage doors that keep out weather and protect your home. If you’re trying to decide between aesthetically pleasing frosted windows and an extra layer of insulation, your best bet is to opt for structure over style at any cost.
