Get your free estimateTrusted Garage Door Installation for Boulder Homeowners
A garage door that’s too small for the opening, too thin for the wind that comes off the Flatirons, or simply past the point of repair turns a daily routine into a daily hassle. Our technicians have up to 9 years of experience and work on residential garage door installation every week. We don’t guess at what you need – we measure, we check the opener and the framing, and we tell you what will actually fit and last. For repair needs, we offer same-day service in Boulder. For new-door work, you’ll get a free measure and a written estimate before anything is ordered. Call (855) 683-6002. We answer 24/7.
Garage Door Replacement
Garage Door Replacement is the full removal of your existing door and hardware, followed by the installation of a new door and its tracking system. You need it when the door has rusted through, when panels are damaged beyond sensible repair, or when the door is so old that finding matching parts takes longer than fitting a new one. We remove the old door, inspect the opening and the springs, and install a new door matched to your garage’s dimensions. Typical estimated cost in Boulder runs $700 – $2200, depending on door size, material, and whether the opener needs attention. Our estimate is written and agreed before any work begins.
When Repair Stops Making Sense
If a door needs new panels, a new track, and new springs all at once, the total often lands close to the price of a new door. We’ll walk you through both numbers so you can decide. A door that’s structurally sound usually stays a repair job.
What We Check Before Ordering
We measure the opening in three places – top, middle, and bottom – because older garages aren’t always square. We also check headroom and side clearance so the door we order actually fits the space. Getting this right the first time avoids returns and extra labor.

Garage Door Installation Service
Garage Door Installation Service covers the complete fitting of a new door, track, torsion or extension springs, and rollers as one coordinated job. You need it on a new build, after storm damage, or when a previous installation was done poorly and the door never ran right. We handle the full mechanical side – measuring the opening, setting the track plumb, tensioning the springs, and running the door through a full open-and-close cycle before we leave. A full new door installation in Boulder typically estimates at $700 – $2200. If your opener also needs replacing, it adds $250 – $550. The written estimate sets the final price.
Balancing the Door Correctly
A door that isn’t balanced wears out its opener motor fast and feels heavy to lift by hand. We test balance with the door disconnected from the opener. If it drifts down on its own, the springs get adjusted before the door is handed over.
Panel and Hardware Alignment
Each panel needs to sit level with the next, and the hinges need to line up with the rollers in the track. We check alignment section by section. A door that runs straight and quiet is usually one that was aligned properly on day one.
Commercial Garage Door Installation
Commercial Garage Door Installation covers heavier doors built for repeated daily cycles – roll-up doors, sectional doors on loading bays, and high-use entry doors on shops and warehouses. You need it when a commercial door reaches the end of its rated cycle life, when it’s been damaged by equipment, or when a business moves into a space with a door that doesn’t suit the traffic. We assess cycle rating, clearances, and the opener or operator system that drives the door. Estimated pricing starts in the $700 – $2200 range for standard commercial doors; larger or specialized doors are quoted after a site measure. Estimates are free and the price is agreed before work begins.
Cycle Ratings That Match Use
A door on a busy loading bay cycles far more often than a residential door, so the spring and hardware ratings need to reflect that. We ask how often the door runs before recommending anything. Picking a lighter-duty door to save money usually costs more in the long run.
Clearances and Operator Fit
Commercial doors have to clear shelving, vehicles, and racking, so headroom and side room matter more than they do at home. We measure before ordering.
Garage Door Installation Contractors
Garage Door Installation Contractors handle the measuring, ordering, and fitting of a new door so the homeowner isn’t left coordinating between a door seller and a separate installer. You need this when you’re replacing a door and want one point of contact from the first measurement to the final test run. We measure the opening, confirm what your opener can handle, order the door, and install it. Pricing for a new door and installation in Boulder is typically $700 – $2200 estimated, with the written estimate setting the final number. Call (855) 683-6002 and we’ll book a free measure.
One Contact From Measure to Finish
When the same team measures and installs, there’s no gap where a wrong measurement becomes a wrong door. We keep the job with one team from start to finish. If something doesn’t fit, it’s our problem to solve, not yours to chase.
Clear Written Estimates
Your estimate lists the door, the hardware, and the labor separately so you can see what you’re paying for. Nothing gets added after the fact without your agreement. That’s how a quote should work.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Garage Door Seal Installation is the fitting of new weatherstripping along the bottom, sides, and top of the door to keep out drafts, water, and pests. You need it when you can see daylight under the door, when the rubber has hardened and cracked, or when wind and snow push in along the edges. We replace bottom seals, side and top seals, and the threshold where the door meets the floor. Seal installation is quoted as part of a larger job or as a standalone service; the written estimate sets the price. Seals are inexpensive compared to a door replacement, and they solve a lot of draft complaints.
Spotting Worn Weatherstripping
Run a hand along the bottom seal – if it feels brittle or leaves marks, it’s past its useful life. Daylight visible under a closed door is the clearest sign. Replacing seals is quick and usually done during a routine service visit.
Proper Contact Along the Floor
The bottom seal has to touch the floor across the whole width without the door pressing down hard on it. We adjust the door travel and the seal so contact is even. An uneven seal lets cold air in at the corners.
New Garage Door Installation
New Garage Door Installation means fitting a door into an opening where none existed before or replacing one that’s failed completely, with the full hardware set installed fresh. You need it on a new garage, a conversion, or after a door has been damaged so badly that repair isn’t safe. We measure the opening, set the track, install the springs and hardware, and test the door through several cycles. New door installation in Boulder typically estimates at $700 – $2200, depending on size and material. The written estimate gives you the exact figure before work starts, and nothing changes unless you approve it.
Measuring the Opening
We take width and height at three points, plus headroom and backroom measurements. Older garages in Boulder can be out of square, so measuring carefully avoids a door that binds. This step takes minutes and saves a return trip.
The First Full Test Cycle
Before we consider the job done, the door runs through a full open and close without the opener connected. If it moves smoothly by hand, it’s balanced and ready for the opener. We only connect the opener once the door passes that test.
Brands We Service
We work on Raynor doors and know how their heavier commercial lines wear at the hinges. We’re also familiar with LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers, including the smart-home connected models that need correct pairing to work with a home network. Genie openers show up in older Boulder garages and use a different logic board setup than the newer brands, so knowing them speeds up diagnosis.
Whether you have a Raynor door and a LiftMaster opener that were installed at different times, or a Genie setup that’s been in the garage a long while, we can help. Our Boulder Garage Door Service team covers the door and the opener together, so a problem with one doesn’t get passed to a second contractor. Whether you have Raynor, LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, or any other make, we can help.

- The door won’t stay up by itself. A door that drops on its own has lost spring tension. That imbalance strains the opener and can be dangerous if a spring fails. Keep the door closed and call.
- Visible daylight under the door. This usually means the bottom seal is worn or the door isn’t closing to the floor. Cold air and moisture get in fast, especially in a Boulder winter. New seals fix most cases.
- The opener runs but the door doesn’t move. A stripped gear or a broken spring is common. Don’t keep pressing the button – it makes the motor problem worse. We diagnose the opener and the door in one visit.
- The door shakes or grinds as it opens. A rough door is usually a track, roller, or alignment problem. Left alone, it grinds down the hinges. A quick visual check starts the diagnosis.
- Panels that are cracked or dented. Damaged panels weaken the door and can let water in. If it’s one panel, we replace the panel; if it’s several, we talk through replacement. Either way, get it looked at before it spreads.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call and describe the garage. We ask about the door’s size, the opener brand, and what’s going wrong. This helps us bring the right information to the first visit. Call (855) 683-6002 – we answer 24/7.
- 2
We measure and inspect. At the free measure, we take opening dimensions, check headroom and side clearance, and test the existing opener and springs. We look at how the door sits in the opening and whether the floor is level.
- 3
You get a written estimate. The estimate lists the door, hardware, and labor separately. Nothing is ordered until you’ve reviewed it and agreed to it. That price is agreed before any work starts.
- 4
We order and schedule. Once you approve, we order the door matched to your measurements. Doors are scheduled, not same-day – installation work follows the written estimate and a confirmed date.
- 5
We install and test. On install day, we remove the old door if there is one, set the new track, fit the door and springs, and run a full test cycle. Before we leave, we show you how the door moves and confirm the opener settings.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Boulder?
A typical new door installation in Boulder runs $700 – $2200, depending on door size, material, and whether your existing opener can handle the new door’s weight. A standard single-car door with a basic steel panel tends toward the lower end, while insulated double doors or doors with windows sit near the top. If your opener also needs replacing, add $250 – $550. Commercial doors are quoted after a site measure because cycle ratings and clearances vary so much.
What affects the price: door material (steel is the most economical, wood and composite cost more), the size of the opening, whether the old door needs to be hauled away, and whether the existing track and springs are reusable. Insulated doors cost more than uninsulated ones, and that’s worth knowing in a climate with real winter.
To avoid overpaying, get the written estimate up front and make sure it lists the door, hardware, and labor separately. Ask whether removal of the old door is included. A free estimate from us covers a measure, a check of the opening and the opener, and a written price that won’t change once you’ve agreed to it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Installation in Boulder
Garage door installation is the fitting of a new garage door, its track, springs, and hardware into an existing opening. It covers measuring the opening, setting the track level, installing the springs, and testing the door through full cycles. If your opener also needs replacing, that’s a separate job that can be done at the same time. We offer free estimates so you know the scope before work is committed.
A standard residential door installation usually takes a few hours on install day once the door has arrived. The full timeline starts with a free measure, then a written estimate, then ordering – and door orders take longer than the install itself. Scheduling is confirmed after you approve the estimate. We don’t promise same-day installation because doors have to be measured and ordered first.
A typical new door installation in Boulder estimates at $700 – $2200, depending on size, material, and whether the opener needs work. Opener installation adds $250 – $550. Every price is quoted and agreed before any work starts, so there’s no surprise invoice afterward. Call (855) 683-6002 for a free estimate.
Yes – we work on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie openers, along with Raynor doors and the other major brands. Brand familiarity means our technicians recognize model quirks and common failure points instead of starting from scratch. If your door and opener are from different brands, we handle both in one visit. Call (855) 683-6002 to book.
No – installation work is measured, ordered, and scheduled, so it can’t happen same day. Same-day service applies to repair calls, not new-door installation. Call (855) 683-6002. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm, Sunday through Friday. A call outside dispatch hours is booked into the next opening.
We stand behind the work we do; ask about warranty coverage when you get your written estimate, and we’ll spell out what’s covered. Manufacturer warranties on doors and openers vary by brand and model, so we’ll tell you what applies to the equipment you choose. Everything is explained before you commit.
Clear the garage floor and the area around the door so the installers have space to work. If you can, move vehicles out and clear anything stored near the ceiling. Then all you need to do is be available on the scheduled day. We handle the rest, including removing the old door if there is one.
