New garage door installation in Alameda
A new door earns its money when the old one is past economic repair, when the garage adjoins living space and you want insulation, or when the door is the biggest thing on the front of the house and it looks tired.
From $1250 typical range $1250 to $2900
Call (510) 694-8090Measuring properly
We measure the opening, the headroom, the side room and the backroom before quoting. Older Alameda garages, the pre-war ones especially, often have low headroom, and that decides which track and which opener will actually fit. Measuring is why we come out rather than quote over the phone.
Insulation, and when it earns its money
If the garage is attached and there's a room above it or beside it, an insulated door is worth the difference. If it's a detached garage at the end of the yard, usually it isn't. We'll tell you which one yours is.
Historic districts and HOAs
Alameda takes its architecture seriously, and parts of the city sit in historic districts where a modern flush panel would look wrong. Some newer developments have HOA rules on door style and color. Worth checking before you order, and we'll help you check.
What installation includes
The old door removed and hauled away, the new door fitted, new track, springs matched to the weight of the door, and the opener set up and balanced. A door that isn't balanced properly eats openers, so the balance step isn't optional.
