Replacing a garage door is one of the highest-ROI improvements a homeowner can make, but the question everyone asks first is simple: how much for new garage door and installation? At CountBricks, we turn that question into a data-backed answer in minutes. Using our AI voice estimating platform, we pull local material prices, labor rates, and project variables in real time so you see exactly where every dollar goes.
The national conversation often cites broad figures, but residential construction is hyper-local. A steel door installed in Des Moines differs from a cedar carriage-style unit installed in Scottsdale. CountBricks tracks regional suppliers and verified subcontractor rates across the country, allowing us to provide localized price bands:
• Budget single-layer steel door with basic torsion spring: $950 – $1,450 installed
• Mid-range insulated steel or composite door with smart opener: $1,600 – $2,400 installed
• Premium wood or full-view glass door with high-cycle hardware: $3,200 – $6,500+ installed
1. Door Material: Steel is cost-effective, wood and glass elevate curb appeal but raise material and finishing costs.
2. Insulation (R-value): Higher R-values improve energy efficiency and qualify for certain rebates tracked inside CountBricks.com/services.
3. Size and Configuration: Standard 8'×7' doors install faster than custom double-wide or extra-tall designs.
4. Hardware & Opener: Belt-drive smart openers, high-cycle torsion springs, and heavy-duty tracks increase both parts and labor.
5. Site Conditions: Framing repairs, header reinforcement, or electrical upgrades can add 8–15 % to total cost.
Traditional estimating relies on averages pulled from print cost books published months ago. CountBricks bypasses static data. Our software listens to your spoken project scope, pings supplier APIs for today’s prices, and outputs a line-item estimate that automatically aligns with the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) codes used by most lenders and insurers.
• Live steel price feeds update every 15 minutes
• Regional lumber surcharges captured daily
• Bulk hardware discounts automatically applied to multi-door projects
1. Voice Scope Call: Homeowner or GC describes the project via smartphone. CountBricks transcribes and categorizes every detail.
2. Instant Takeoff: If blueprints or photos are available, our computer-vision engine measures the opening and identifies potential framing conflicts.
3. Live Pricing Pull: Material SKUs, freight charges, and local labor multipliers populate the estimate.
4. Client-Ready Quote: A branded PDF and interactive web portal link are generated. Sign-off triggers automatic scheduling.
5. Field Updates: On install day, crew leads update progress via hands-free voice notes, and any change orders recalculate in real time.
Homeowners sometimes ask if they can replace just one damaged panel. While CountBricks will happily price either option, panel sourcing can be tricky when manufacturers discontinue styles. A full door replacement often:
• Improves warranty coverage from limited 1-year to up to 10 years
• Provides uniform insulation and appearance
• Eliminates future color-matching issues
However, if the door is less than five years old and the panel is stock, a single-panel repair could cost 25-40 % of a full replacement. CountBricks details both scenarios side by side so you decide with clarity.
Several utility providers offer energy rebates for insulated garage doors. CountBricks flags qualifying models during the estimate and auto-generates rebate paperwork. We also integrate with leading financing partners, presenting monthly payment options directly inside your quote.
