Replacing a garage door is one of the fastest ways to boost curb appeal, energy efficiency and security in a Miami-area home. Yet the first question nearly every homeowner asks is the same: how much are garage doors installed today? At CountBricks, we answer that question with real-time data, AI-powered takeoffs and transparent labor rates so you never have to guess—or wait—again.
Traditional estimating relies on yesterday’s catalogues and manual spreadsheets. CountBricks disrupts that process by:
• Capturing your voice description of the project in seconds
• Pulling up-to-the-minute material costs from our national supplier feed
• Auto-recommending door sizes, insulation values and opener options based on local code
• Calculating labor hours from our proprietary residential production database
• Generating a ready-to-send proposal with branded visuals and warranty language
Our latest data shows most homeowners paying between $1,250 and $3,600 for a professional garage door replacement, all inclusive. CountBricks breaks that into:
• Standard single 8ʹ×7ʹ steel door: $800 – $1,100 materials, $450 – $650 labor
• Insulated double 16ʹ×7ʹ steel door: $1,300 – $1,800 materials, $600 – $900 labor
• Custom wood or composite carriage style: $2,000 – $3,100 materials, $700 – $1,100 labor
• New smart opener and disposal of old door: add $250 – $450
Because our platform updates costs daily, you see what a door truly costs this week—not last quarter.
1. Door Material – Steel is affordable and durable. Wood and glass increase price and lead time.
2. Insulation Rating – Higher R-values improve energy efficiency but add to material cost.
3. Size & Configuration – Double-wide and high-lift tracks require more steel and labor.
4. Site Conditions – Tight alleys, damaged jambs or electrical upgrades extend install hours.
5. Municipality Permits – Miami-Dade wind-load compliance can add hardware and inspection fees.
A Coconut Grove client asked this week, “How much are garage doors installed if I switch to hurricane-rated steel?” The estimator spoke for 90 seconds into the CountBricks app. Within three minutes our system produced:
• 139 line items, including wind-rated struts and impact glass lites
• Material total: $2,420 (locked for 5 days)
• Labor: 11.6 crew hours at $74/hr
• Permit & haul-away: $220
• Grand total: $3,503 with a digital signature block
The homeowner approved from his phone and the job was scheduled the same afternoon.
Many big-box stores advertise door kits under $700, tempting DIYers to save money. CountBricks recommends weighing these points:
• Torsion springs store lethal force—one slip can cause severe injury
• Manufacturer warranties often require certified installation
• A mis-hung door voids wind-load compliance in South Florida
• Pros finish in 4–6 hours; DIY timelines stretch into weekends and tool rentals
Our platform tracks every phase from estimate to invoice so numbers stay consistent:
• Automatic change-order alerts when homeowners add accessories
• Field crew mobile app to log actual hours vs bid hours in real time
• Instant material substitutions when suppliers backorder a panel size
• End-of-day cost reports emailed to homeowner and contractor for total transparency
Installing an insulated door may qualify for federal energy credits. CountBricks flags eligible products inside the estimate so homeowners can plan ahead. We also partner with domestic lenders that approve financing within minutes right inside the same app interface.
