Aluminum Garage Doors Prices

Aluminum garage doors cost $250 to $2,000. Aluminum is low-maintenance and rust-resistant, even in humid climates. However, it dents easily and insulates poorly. Since aluminum is lighter than steel, it strains the garage door springs less, making the springs last longer.

Pros & Cons

Customizable with special paint or embossed-design choices
Works well for wider garage doors
Not a good wind-resistant option for hurricane-prone areas

Wooden Garage Door Prices

Wooden garage doors cost $1,000 to $3,000 for pre-made doors and $2,000 to $8,000 for custom mahogany, redwood, or cedar wood units. Wood doors are durable, dent-proof, and long-lasting when properly maintained but require ongoing staining or painting.

Faux Wood Garage Door Prices

Composite or faux wood garage doors cost $300 to $5,000. These wood-look doors have metal frames clad with wood composite.

Pros & Cons

Long-lasting, low-maintenance, and suitable for all climates
Easy to paint or stain
Lighter than wood
Made from recycled wood fibers and weatherproof resins
Less durable than metal doors

Vinyl Garage Doors Prices

Vinyl garage doors cost $300 to $2,000 on average, with high-end customized doors costing up to $4,000. Vinyl, also known as PVC or plastic, is dent-proof and more durable than steel. Vinyl garage doors are lightweight, low-maintenance, won’t warp or rot, and resists scratches and rust.

Steel Garage Door Prices

Steel garage doors cost $250 to $2,000 on average, with high-end customized doors costing up to $4,000. Steel is the most common and least expensive garage door option. Steel garage doors have the largest variety of sizes, colors, styles, window options, and finishes.

Steel Garage Door Prices By Layers - Chart

Steel Garage Door Prices
Steel Type	Average Cost	Features
Single Layer	$250 – $1,400	Lightweight, non-insulated, and easy to open manually Lacks high-wind rating and dent-prone Not ideal for wide openings
Double Layer	$400 – $2,000	Single steel layer backed with thermal insulation Stronger and less prone to bending and cracking

Pros & Cons

Galvanized or coated steel doors resist corrosion, warping, and cracking.
Foam-insulated steel doors increase strength and energy-efficiency, depending on the steel type and thickness.

Fiberglass Garage Door Prices

Fiberglass garage doors cost $350 to $5,000 and have highly customizable designs, colors, and textures. This insulated steel-frame door has a fiberglass coating that simulates wood. Fiberglass doors are popular for resisting warping, insect and termite infestations, rot, and rust.

Pros & Cons

Low-maintenance and more dent-resistant than steel.
Extra-lightweight material reduces the weight load on the opener and tracks to prolong the door parts' lifespan.
Can crack on impact in extreme-cold temperatures
Can fade in direct sunlight unless installers apply a protective clear coating.

Glass Garage Door Prices

Glass garage doors cost $700 to $4,500 on average, depending on the glass type and door size. Glass doors have either a steel or aluminum frame with laminated, insulated, or tempered glass inserts. For more privacy, choose from tinted, frosted, or mirrored glass options.

Pros & Cons

Increases natural light
Increases curb appeal by adding a modern and contemporary look
More fragile with high potential to crack and costs more to repair
Insulates poorly compared to traditional doors
Requires stronger openers and springs for heavy glass

Insulated Garage Door Cost

Insulated garage doors cost $400 to $4,000, depending on the size, material, insulation type (foam or panels), number of layers, and performance. Insulation effectiveness (R-value) ranges from 5 to 20. A higher R-value has better performance but costs more.

Foam injected polyurethane is the most energy-efficient insulation sandwiched between two metal layers.
Polystyrene panels are less-efficient and attach behind single-layer doors. Polystyrene insulation kits cost $40 to $200 for existing doors.

Are Insulated Garage Doors Worth It?

Insulated garage doors are only worth it if the garage walls, ceilings, and windows all have proper insulation with weather stripping around the door. An insulated garage door resists dents, opens and closes more quietly, and increases the energy efficiency of homes in extreme climates.

Garage Screen Door Prices

Garage door screens cost $375 to $2,500, depending on the size and type (retractable, motorized, or sliding). Walk-through screens cost $30 to $200 with easy DIY installation. Garage screens are best for keeping out pests while allowing in airflow and light.

Garage Screen Door Prices
Type	Average Cost	Features
Walk-Through Screens	$30 – $200	Closes with zippers, magnets, snaps, or roll-ups Easy to install but may not create a tight seal

What To Look For When Buying A Garage Door?

Choosing the right garage door material and style depends on the environment, climate, home aesthetic, functionality, and garage purpose.

Look for the following when buying a new garage door:

Warranty – Get warranties on both the door and the installation labor.
Material – Each material has a different lifespan, dent-resistance, and rust-resistance.
Insulation – Insulated doors are more durable and energy-efficient in extreme climates.
Sound – Insulated doors with nylon rollers and a belt-drive opener operate with the least noise.
Function – Living-space garages need windows and extra insulation.
Maintenance – Metals need rust-proofing, wood needs routine refinishing, and some paint finishes wear off faster than others.
Style – Choose a design with materials that add curb appeal to the home.
Wind-resistance – Building codes require reinforced garage doors in hurricane-prone areas.
Springs – Garage door springs with 10,000 cycles often have 3-year warranties. Only 50,000 cycle springs last more than 15 years.
