In late 2026 national cost guides, a new one-car steel garage door costs about $1,050 to $1,700 installed and a two-car door about $2,200 to $3,350, before Washington sales tax. Clark County companies that post a figure range from about $700 to $2,200, with one posted start near $1,500 installed.
Those are market ranges. Our starting prices for new garage door installation sit on the prices page, and sales tax is added to them at the job address. This guide covers what a new door price contains and the choices that push it up or down.
New garage door costs by size and style
Installed figures and door-only figures come from different sources with different scopes, so the table labels each one, and the door-only rows leave out installation.
| Door and scope | Market range, late 2026, before Washington sales tax | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| One-car steel door, installed | About $1,050 to $1,700 | National cost guides |
| Two-car door, installed | About $2,200 to $3,350 | A national cost guide |
| New door, installed, Clark County | About $700 to $2,200; one posted start of about $1,500 | Clark County company pages |
| Standard 8x7 door alone, uninsulated | About $750 to $1,500 | One maker’s national averages |
| Standard 8x7 door alone, insulated | About $900 to $2,000 | One maker’s national averages |
| Carriage house door alone | About $1,800 to $4,500 and up | One maker’s national averages |
| Modern and glass styles, door alone | About $2,000 to $5,000 and up | One maker’s national averages |
| Adding insulation | A few hundred dollars | The maker’s price guide |
| Removal and haul-off of the old door | Usually inside a replacement quote; about $50 to $200 when listed separately | National cost guides and the maker’s price guide |
| An opener bought with the door | About $350 to $600 for the unit, plus $250 to $350 to install | One maker’s price guide |
Local company ranges stretch wide because one “new door” range has to cover everything from an uninsulated one-car door to an insulated two-car door. Read any single figure with its size, its insulation and its scope attached, and compare a quote only with a row that describes the same job.
What a new garage door price usually includes
A replacement quote normally covers the door, its track and springs, and the removal and haul-off of the old door, while a door bought on its own covers only the sections.
One national estimate spells out its scope plainly: a 25-gauge, four-panel steel door, with removal and disposal of the old door and its hardware, new track, springs, support cables and exterior weather seals, haul-away and cleanup. It leaves out sales tax and permit fees.
Clopay’s price guide agrees that replacement quotes usually include taking the old door away, and it notes that a brand new opening, with framing, reinforcement or wiring to add, costs more than a door swapped into an existing frame.
Our posted new door line covers a one-car opening: a steel door without insulation, new track, springs matched to that door, and the old door taken down and hauled away. Doors with insulation, two-car widths, carriage styling or glass are priced as higher tiers.
Is a two-car door twice the price of a one-car door?
In the national guide that prices both sizes, a two-car door runs close to double a one-car door, but parts of a real quote do not scale with the width of the opening.
What grows with width: the sections themselves, the springs that must balance a heavier door, the struts a wide door may carry across its sections, and the length of every seal. A wide insulated door can call for a heavier spring set than its one-car cousin.
What happens once regardless of size: the trip, taking down the old door, hooking the opener back up and the balance test. A two-car garage with two single doors is the opposite case, since it prices as two doors, two spring sets and two runs of track.
Insulated or not: what the step up costs
Insulation usually adds a few hundred dollars to a new door, in Clopay’s words, and the door-only averages for a standard 8x7 door show a step of about that size.
Polyurethane foam costs more than polystyrene, Clopay notes. Which one suits a heated shop, a home gym or a garage under a bedroom, and what the R-values mean, belongs to our insulated door guide.
The step reaches the springs as well. DASMA’s sheet on added weight says springs carrying more than they were sized for wear out early. An insulated door quote should therefore include a new spring set matched to that door rather than springs carried over from the old one.
Carriage house, modern and glass doors
Door style is one of the price factors Clopay’s guide lists, with traditional designs typically the least costly and carriage house and modern designs above them.
In that maker’s national averages, a carriage house door alone runs about $1,800 to $4,500 and up, while modern and glass styles run about $2,000 to $5,000 and up. Windows, decorative handles and hinges, the color and the panel layout each add to the door’s price before installation is counted.
Lead times on an ordered door
Lead time depends on the maker, the model and the options, and no maker we checked publishes a current figure, so the real date comes when the order is placed.
Supply problems can push it out. In 2021 DASMA’s magazine described how pandemic supply chains, steel and demand had stretched the wait for new doors. Clopay’s price guide adds that raw material costs keep rising, so ask how long a written quote holds before you wait on an HOA answer or a permit desk.
HOA rules and the builder door in Clark County tracts
In a Clark County tract built during the last three decades, the door coming down may be the builder’s original, and an association’s rules on style and color can narrow which new doors are allowed at all.
If the rules call for a carriage look, windows in a set pattern or a particular color, the approved door sets the price before you shop. Approval comes before the order, and our HOA approval guide walks through how to get it in writing.
Wind exposure near the river and other local cost drivers
A riverfront lot can change the door you order, because Vancouver and Washougal design lots up to 1,500 feet from the Columbia for open, Exposure C wind.
Makers sell both rated and non-rated doors, and DASMA’s sheet on wind load labels says a maker rarely knows the design pressure a job needs unless someone supplies it during quoting or ordering. The permit office decides that pressure, so settle it before the order; our wind load guide explains the label.
A wider opening or a new header is a separate permit question with its own costs, and our permits guide names the permit office that answers it, city by city.
How to compare two new garage door quotes
Two door quotes can only be compared once each one names the same parts, so ask for these lines in writing.
- The door: maker, model, size, steel thickness and panel design.
- Insulation: none, polystyrene or polyurethane, with the R-value the maker states.
- Looks: windows, decorative hardware and the color, each by name.
- Track: standard, low headroom or high lift, to suit your ceiling.
- Springs: new, sized to the new door’s weight, with the cycle rating written down.
- Bracing: struts across the sections and a reinforcement bracket where the opener arm attaches.
- Seals: a bottom seal in its retainer, plus perimeter seal on the jambs and header.
- The old door: removal and haul-off included, or priced as its own line.
- The opener: reattached and adjusted, or a new unit priced separately.
- Wind and permits: a rated door or a permit where the address calls for one.
- Sales tax and timing: tax on its own line, and how long the price holds.
The door, the parts and the labor all carry Washington sales tax at the job address’s rate, so every range in this guide grows by that amount on a real invoice. A photo of your current door, the label on its inside face and the width of the opening tells us which posted line fits.
