Garage door prices do vary based on various factors. For example, installing the door yourself may reduce your costs sometimes twice. At the same time, the prices will be much higher if you require high wind rated garage doors, or if your door is of an irregular size. Garage door prices will also largely vary based on the material of the doors. Garage door prices may vary anywhere from $300-$3000.

Listed below are some prices for typical garage doors:

$300-$500 (not installed) - An average 16'x7' door. This price range does not include installation prices, and may even get you a door with steel clad and added insulation. A manual for installation will be provided with the door, and all it takes to instal it is 2-3 professionals and some common tools.

$400-$700 (installed) - A tilt-up or rolling wood/aluminum door, with outer plywood. Size 16'x7', price includes installation. Aluminum doors have the added advantage of corroding lesser due to rust. On the bad side, they dent easily.

$600-$700 (installed) - Including professional installation, a garage door in this price range is a cheaper but new 16'x7' non-insulated one.

$750-$1,200 (installed) - This range would offer a new 16'x7'garage door inclusive of professional installation. Cheaper types are mostly just a single metal plane , whereas more expensive ones come with foam insulation sandwiched between two thick metal panels. More high priced models include thicker metal sheets (extra two inches thicker) with more insulation, along with weather tolerance agents. Usually, steel doors are a better choice because neither do they rust, nor do they need repainting as much as wooden doors do. On the other hand however, it is difficult to repair them if they get dented.

$800-$1,000 (installed) - Affordable professional installation along with a new 16'x7' designed-to-be-painted sectional roll up insulated door.

$1,200-$2,000 (installed) - Inclusive of professional installation, this category of garage door prices can get you a 16'x7' standard higher-grade roll-up stained wood door panel. This price may go up or down depending upon any additional designs on the panel, or the type of wood used.

$1,200 (installed) - Inclusive of installation price, this high-tech garage door comes with a big, 16'x7' solid steel garage door. It consists of two panels of steels with 2 inches of polyurethane foam in between. Additionally, it also includes a pre-painted exterior than does not require much maintenance.

$1,300 (installed) - measuring 16'x7', this price offers a high wind rated garage door inclusive of installation costs.

$2,500-$3,000 (installed) - a new custom-built wood door. Wood is popular because of its natural look and style. However, wood doors require regular maintenance, since it may start cracking and warping with age. These high garage door prices may also be caused by the irregular size of the door, such as a high end oversize 18'x8' door with a motor. Price includes professional installation.

Garage door prices vary on multiple factors. The price range is very wide ($300-$3,000), so it is a good idea to do some shopping in order to find the best garage door prices.
