Typical ranges seen in many markets, not a quote. Your door, the parts and the company set the real price.
Why the Ranges Are So Wide
Two doors that look alike can differ by thousands. Size, material, insulation, wind and impact rating, windows and the style of the panels all change the price.
Labor is a big share too, especially when framing has to be repaired or the opening changed. One published example put a replaced single door near $3,100, with only about $500 of that being the door itself, after framing and labor.
Treat these as planning numbers. The real price comes after someone measures.
What Pushes the Price Up
- Wind and impact rating. Struts, heavier hardware and rated glass add cost. See hurricane rated doors.
- Insulation. Polyurethane foam costs more than polystyrene. See insulated doors.
- Style. Carriage, wood and custom doors cost more and often need more springs.
- Windows. Especially impact rated glass.
- Low headroom. Special track adds a bit.
- Framing repairs. Rotted or rusted jambs and headers must be fixed first.
- Permit. Ask whether it's included.
Comparing Quotes
Make sure each quote covers the same door, the same wind rating, the same insulation and the same extras. Ask whether it includes new springs, track, the permit, hauling the old door away and resetting the opener.
A quote that's much cheaper may be for a door without the rating your house needs.
Timing
Right after a hurricane, demand for doors and installers jumps and wait times stretch out. If your door is old and you've been meaning to replace it, the months before storm season are a calmer time to shop.
Should You Replace At All
If your door is sound, new springs, rollers and hinges cost a fraction of a new door. The common rule is to replace when the door is 15 years old or more and the repair would cost a quarter of a new door or more.

Insurance After a Storm
If a storm or a car damaged the door, part of the cost may be covered by insurance, minus your deductible. See storm damage.
