Common Questions

In 2026, a standard single-car steel door (8x7) typically costs between $1,200 and $2,400 installed. A double-car door (16x7) ranges from $2,200 to $4,800, depending on insulation and window options.

Upgrading to an insulated door (R-value 12-18) typically adds $250 to $900 to the total project cost. This is highly recommended for Hamilton's climate to reduce energy loss in attached garages.

Most Hamilton contractors include disposal in their package, but it can be a separate line item of $75 to $150. Always confirm if 'full replacement' includes hauling away the old steel or wood panels.

Yes, wrapping the exterior wooden door frame in aluminum capping to prevent rot typically costs between $300 and $600 extra, depending on the door size and color matching.
