Which garage door material is best for me?

• <div><p>The most common garage door material is aluminum, but the best material for you depends on your budget and location. Wood is the most expensive to repair but tends to add the most curb appeal, while fiberglass or composite doors cost less to fix.</p><p>Aluminum won’t rust, so it’s a great option if you live somewhere humid or rainy. Steel doors are durable but are prone to rust. If you live somewhere with extreme temperatures, hot or cold, you might opt for fiberglass, which won’t split if the temperatures skyrocket or drop below freezing.</p></div>

Do I have to have sensors on my garage door?

• <div><p>If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">open your garage manually</a>, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/13/2018-14909/safety-standard-for-automatic-residential-garage-door-operators">federal law UL 325</a> mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast. </p></div>

• <div><p>Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost to install a new garage door?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-replacement-cost.htm">cost to install a garage door</a> is usually around <b>$1,224</b>, with most homeowners seeing a price between <b>$755 and $1,696</b>. Several factors come into play, like the type of door, material (wood is pricier than vinyl), insulation, and size. Labor costs also play a role because DIY garage door installs are a bad&mdash;and dangerous&mdash;idea. Most professionals bundle labor into the total price, but if it&rsquo;s separate, expect to pay anywhere from <b>$200 to $500</b>.</p></div>

Q: How do I find someone to build a garage?

• <div><p>Hiring the right professional to build your garage can be easy if you know where to look. Feel free to ask neighbors or friends for recommendations. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, platforms like Angi can help you connect with trusted professionals in your area. You can read reviews, compare quotes, and view past projects. Research and interviewing multiple pros goes a long way in making sure you get the garage you want. </p></div>

They came in examined my garage door and told me the best way they could fix it and quoted me a price. The repairmen were very curious and knowledgeable. I had them repair the door but I think they were too expensive. They said when I called them if they did the job they would take the 30...

I called in to ask for service. They had a technician out early the next morning. He didn’t have the part at the time but returned when he did. The office staff and technician were very helpful and professional. I’ll certainly be using them for all future garage door needs.

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

Ray and his team did a great job. During the bid process, I got bids from several other contractors. Ray was able to get to my price, with the full set of features I requested, plus a few additional ones that other contractors would not do for the price. For example, Ray's price was for a...

Colborns was great. They understood my cocern about not having a car for work, and they took care of it. Not too many garages would have been concerned and they probably would have charged more. Colborns was fair and courteous.

They did a very good job. They were on time, and finished the job in one day. I think their price was fair, because we got a really nice door, and it works really well. They were able to give us a discount, which was nice. They made us aware of the sale that was going on for the better door....
