A new garage door in Edmonton usually costs between $2,200 and $5,000 plus GST, installed, and most installations are finished in one day. The price depends on the size, the insulation, the style and whether you add a new opener. We measure your opening, help you pick a door that suits Alberta winters, remove the old door and install the new one with fresh hardware, springs and weatherstripping. Call 780-908-0907 or request a quote and we will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Is It Time for a New Garage Door?
Most doors can be repaired. A new door is worth considering when:
- Several panels are cracked, dented, rotted or bowed
- The door is old and replacement parts are hard to find
- You are paying for repeated repairs every year
- The garage is cold, drafty or noisy and sits next to living space
- The door is a safety concern, such as a door that drops, jams or no longer reverses
- You want a better look for the house
A single broken spring, cable or roller is a repair, not a reason to replace. Our broken garage door repair service covers those jobs. If a repair bill is getting close to the price of a new door, we will say so and show you both numbers.
Choosing a Garage Door for Edmonton Winters
Edmonton is hard on garage doors, so the right choice matters more here than in a mild climate.
Insulated Steel Doors
Insulated steel is the most common choice for Edmonton homes. A steel door has two skins with insulation between them. The two main types are polystyrene panels and polyurethane foam. Polyurethane insulates better and bonds to the steel skins, which makes the door stiffer and quieter. It costs more, and it performs well in deep cold.
Insulation is measured by R-value. A higher number means less heat loss. Many installers in Alberta recommend at least R-16 for a garage attached to the house, and higher if the furnace or water heater is in the garage. R-12 is a floor for detached garages that are not heated. If you work in the garage, store things there or want your vehicle easier to start in winter, insulation pays back over time.
Carriage Style Doors
Carriage style doors look like traditional wood swing doors but work like any sectional door. They are made of steel, composite or wood, with panels, windows and decorative hardware. They suit older and traditional homes, and they add curb appeal.
Modern Aluminum and Glass Doors
Full view doors use aluminum frames with glass panels. They give a clean, modern look and let in light. They suit contemporary homes and garages that double as workshops. Glass doors have less insulation than a solid steel door, so they are best for garages that are not directly attached to living space or are heated.
Wood and Composite Doors
Real wood doors look the best and need more upkeep in Alberta’s dry air and cold. Composite doors imitate wood and need less care. Both cost more than basic steel.
Windows, Colour and Hardware
You can add window inserts, choose colours and pick handles and hinges. Darker colours absorb more heat, which matters little in an Edmonton winter but can fade some finishes in summer sun.
What Is Included in Our Garage Door Installation
- A measure of the opening, the headroom and the side room
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- New sections, tracks, rollers, hinges and brackets
- New springs sized to the weight of the new door
- Cables, drums and bearings
- New weatherstripping and bottom seal
- Balance and safety testing
- Opener connection, or a new opener if you add one
If your current opener works with the new door, we can usually reuse it. We check that it lifts the new weight and that its safety reverse works. See our garage door opener service if you want a new one with a smart control.
How Garage Door Installation Works
- Request a quote. Tell us the door size, the style you like and whether the garage is attached or heated.
- Measure and choose. We measure the opening and help you pick a door, insulation level, colour and options.
- Prepare the opening. We remove the old door, check the framing and clear the area.
- Install the door. We assemble the sections, mount the tracks, set the springs and attach the opener.
- Balance and test. We check the balance by hand, then run the door on the opener and test the safety reverse and sensors.
- Walk you through the care. You get tips on cleaning, lubricating and the yearly check.
Most installations take one day. A large double door, a custom door or an opener upgrade can take longer.

- Condition of the opening. Damaged framing or odd sizes take extra work.
We give you the total price in writing before we begin, so there are no surprise charges.
Commercial Overhead Door Installation
We install overhead doors for warehouses, shops, service bays and industrial buildings across Edmonton and Nisku. Commercial doors are larger and heavier, and some need special tracks or openers. See our commercial overhead door service for details.
Why Professional Installation Matters
A garage door is the largest moving part of your house. Poor installation causes problems that show up later: a door that hangs crooked, springs that wear fast, tracks that bind and an opener that strains. A technician sets the springs for the weight of the door, aligns the tracks and tests the balance. That keeps the door safe and protects any manufacturer warranty on the door and hardware.
After Your New Door Is In
A new door still needs a yearly check, especially in a cold climate. We can set up a garage door maintenance visit each fall. If you ever have a problem, our team handles spring, cable and roller repairs on doors we install and on doors we did not.

Garage Door Installation FAQs
How much does garage door installation cost in Edmonton?
A new insulated steel door installed usually costs about $2,200 to $3,800 plus GST for a single car garage and $2,800 to $5,000 plus GST for a double. Carriage, glass, wood and custom doors cost more. We confirm the price in writing before we start.
How long does garage door installation take?
Most installations take one day. Larger, custom or commercial doors can take longer.
What type of garage door is best for Edmonton winters?
An insulated steel door with polyurethane foam is a strong choice. For a garage attached to the house, many installers recommend an R-value of at least R-16.
Do I need a new opener with a new door?
Not always. If your opener is in good shape and lifts the new door’s weight, we can often reuse it. We test the safety reverse either way.
Is it better to repair or replace my garage door?
Repair a door with a single failed part, such as a spring, cable or roller. Replace a door with several damaged panels, an old and worn system, or repairs that cost close to a new door.
Will a new door make my garage warmer?
An insulated door slows heat loss, so the garage stays warmer and the shared walls and floor are less cold. How much depends on the R-value, the seals and whether the garage is heated.
Do you install commercial overhead doors?
Yes. We install and service commercial overhead doors for warehouses, shops, service bays and industrial buildings in Edmonton and Nisku.
Do you remove and dispose of my old door?
Yes. Removal of the old door is part of the installation.
