What is the Cost of a Garage Door?
This, of course, is always one of the first questions we get asked by a person shopping for a garage door. Here at Glideaway Doors, we would receive this question hundreds of times per year, likely within the first few minutes of a phone call.
But we get it: price (along with many other factors) matters, and this can dictate what garage door and what options you are can get in the long run.
As you can imagine though, the problem with answering the question is the fact that a garage door has so many options it can be tough for one to truly know what the price to have a fully installed garage door will be. Notwithstanding, we will do our best to give you some realistic price ranges as to what most people will spend. (And remember, these prices are an average and can vary drastically depending on the product, the size and the region)
Occasionally we will have a customer that just wants to buy the garage door kit. Although there are other costs involved with a garage door, there are people who like to buy and install the garage door themselves. Therefore the expected price range is as follows (keep in mind these price ranges do not include shipping and GST).
