Garage Door Cost Calculator for Repairs and New Doors
ByHUSH Garage Door Service· Published
Tick the jobs your door needs and you get a before-tax total from our posted prices: a spring from $275, rollers from $100, an opener repair from $185, a new single door from $1,995 installed.
How the calculator adds up your total
Your total takes one “from” price per group (springs, rollers, opener, new door) and adds them. Each figure is the same one shown on our price pages, so the calculator and those pages never disagree.
Inside a group, a new pick replaces the old one, while picks from different groups add. Tick a single spring, switch to a matched pair, and only the pair counts.
A new door changes the sum. It arrives with its own springs, tracks and hardware, so any spring or roller pick drops out once you choose a door.
One door has no number at all. A double door in the Best tier (custom size, full-view glass or a designer facade) shows “priced on your measure”, because its price depends on the opening we measure.
4 checks you make from the garage floor
The 4 inputs are your spring count, the roller set, opener repair or a new opener, and a door size and tier. Stand under the closed door and look up. You never need to touch anything.
- Count the springs on the metal bar above the door. One spring means a single, two mean a matched pair.
- Tick the roller set if the door grinds on the way up or the small wheels in the side tracks are chipped.
- Pick opener repair when the unit still runs but misbehaves. Pick a new opener when you are replacing the unit, for example to add smart control or battery backup.
- Pick a door size and tier from the table in the next section.
That metal bar is the torsion shaft, the rod the springs wind around to lift the door. Two springs on it are always replaced together, so a two-spring door never gets the single price.
Some doors have no springs above the opening at all. Theirs stretch along the two side tracks near the ceiling, and those are extension springs. We replace them as a matched pair from $400, so pick the pair.
Not sure which spring job you have? Our broken spring repair service starts with that diagnosis.
Garage door installation cost depends on tier and width
A new garage door installed starts from $1,995 for a single door and from $3,295 for a double, then climbs with each tier. Tiers differ mostly by insulation, rated as an R-value (how well the door slows heat loss, where a higher number holds more heat).
| Door | Tier | What you get | Suits | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | Good | Non-insulated steel | Detached or unheated garage | from $1,995 |
| Single | Better | Insulated steel, R-12 | Attached single-car garage | from $2,195 |
| Single | Best | Insulated steel, up to R-16 | Heated garage, or a room above it | from $2,795 |
| Double | Good | Insulated steel | Most Ottawa two-car garages | from $3,295 |
| Double | Better | Upgraded insulation, windows or design panel | Front-facing garage where the door is the facade | from $4,500 |
| Double | Best | Custom size, full-view glass or a designer facade | Oversized or non-standard opening | priced on your measure |
Steel with no insulation rates about R-0.85, so keep the single Good door for a garage you never heat. On an attached garage beside a living space, an Ottawa January comes straight through it, which is why the Better tier starts at R-12.
What your total shows on screen
Your result adds the lowest posted price for each job you ticked. The final price goes on a written quote that you approve before any work starts.
Under that figure, each job gets its own line, with what moves its price and what the price includes. Pick a spring job and a safety line appears too. Springs and cables are under tension and are never a homeowner job. Pull the manual release only on a fully closed door, never on an open, stalled or off-track door.
A total under $250 adds a short note about the service call. Whatever you pick, the quote button carries it into the booking form, so its first question is already answered.
Prices are before HST in Ontario. Gatineau jobs are quoted with GST and QST, the federal and Quebec sales taxes.
Sample totals, from $185 to $3,890
An opener repair alone totals from $185, and a double Good door with a new opener from $3,890. What catches people is adding springs to a new door. It changes nothing, because the door already comes with them.
| What you pick | Total | How it adds up | What else shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opener repair alone | from $185 | One job | Service call note, since the total is under $250 |
| Matched spring pair and a roller set | from $500 | $400 for the springs plus $100 for the rollers | Spring safety line, quote form set to spring repair |
| Single Best door, spring pair and roller set | from $2,795 | Only the door counts, because springs and rollers come with it | Quote form set to a new door |
| Double Good insulated steel door and a new opener | from $3,890 | $3,295 for the door plus $595 for the opener installed | Quote form set to a new door |
Your total leaves out tax, old-door removal and other repairs
Only jobs in the four groups count. Everything else lands on the written quote once we have seen the door.
Cables, drums, hinges, tracks, sensors and panels are not in the calculator, because the fix depends on what failed. Cable work has its own page, lift cable pricing. A panel price turns on whether a matching section is still made, as covered under replacing a single garage door panel.
Hauling the old door away is an added fee on a new door. Anything found on inspection, such as a frayed cable next to a broken spring, is priced on the written quote.
Front and entry doors are quoted after a measure. Use the entry door rough opening calculator to get the numbers to bring to that visit.
How to turn the calculator total into a written quote
Press “Get a written quote” or call (343) 700-1077, and we confirm the job on site before any work starts.
A service call starts at $150 and is free with a repair over $250. Every repair carries our 90-day Done-Right guarantee.
For a new door, we measure the opening first. Door, tier and price then go in writing, and nothing is installed until you approve it.
