New Garage Door Installation in Boise, ID

A garage door is the biggest moving thing on the house and the first thing people see from the street. In Boise it is also a wall of your home: an attached garage with a bedroom above it, uninsulated, is why that room is cold in January and hot in July. A new insulated door is one of the few upgrades that improves the look of the house and the comfort inside it at the same time.

The techs we refer install steel back insulated doors in the R 12 to R 18 range, carriage style doors for the North End and East End homes, modern flush and full view glass doors for the new builds in Eagle and Harris Ranch, and plain non insulated doors for detached garages and shops where comfort does not matter. Every install includes new tracks, springs sized to the door, weather seal and a full cycle test. A new opener at the same time saves a second labor charge.

Signs you need new garage doors

• A door that is dented in more than one section or rusting along the bottom
• An old wood door that is heavy, rotting or has pulled its hinges
• A room over the garage that is cold in winter and hot in summer
• A door that has never matched the house
• A home going on the market that needs curb appeal
• A door more than 25 years old that still works, but barely

What the job involves

1. The tech measures the opening, headroom and side room, checks the framing, and walks you through style, insulation and window options with a written price.
2. The door is ordered, usually one to three weeks for standard styles and colors.
3. On install day the old door and hardware come down, new tracks, springs, rollers and weather seal go up, and the sections are hung and aligned.
4. The opener is installed or reconnected, force and limits set, and the door is balanced and tested.

New garage doors cost in Boise

Price includes removal and haul away of the old door, new tracks and springs, and installation. Openers, windows, custom colors and oversized doors add to it. Ada County and Meridian usually do not require a permit for a like for like replacement.

Why not do it yourself

A new door is 300 pounds of sections, tracks that have to be plumb and square, and springs that have to be wound to the door's exact weight. Big box stores sell them, but the install is the trade. The warranty on the door usually depends on a professional install too.
