New Garage Door Installation in Mobile, AL
Sometimes a repair isn't worth it: the panels are rusted through, the door is a 30-year-old uninsulated slab, or you're ready for the curb-appeal upgrade. A new garage door is consistently one of the highest-ROI exterior projects a homeowner can do — and on the Gulf Coast, it's also your home's largest storm opening, so the right door matters twice.
We install steel, insulated, and carriage-house style doors from major manufacturers, sized to your opening. Every quote covers the door, track, springs, labor, and haul-away of the old door — one number, no surprises.

- Wind-load rated doors for coastal code (see hurricane page)

Install day
Most installs finish in half a day. We level the tracks, set spring tension, seal the perimeter, and test.
Insulation isn't about winter here
In Mobile, an insulated door is a summer upgrade. An uninsulated steel door turns a west-facing garage into an oven by 3pm, which cooks everything stored in it and bleeds heat into the house. A basic insulated door keeps the garage 10–20 degrees closer to livable and quiets the door's operation considerably.
If any part of the garage is workshop, gym, or storage for anything that minds heat — insulation pays for itself in comfort alone.
New Door Installation questions
How much does a new garage door cost in Mobile?
Installed prices for a standard 16×7 double door typically run $1,200–$2,500 for steel, $2,000–$4,500 for insulated or carriage-house styles, and more for custom or high wind-load doors. Your quote is a single installed price.
Repair or replace — how do I decide?
If the frame and most panels are sound, repair usually wins. Replace when panels are rusted through, the door is uninsulated and 20+ years old, or repair quotes approach half of a new door's cost.
Do I need a permit for a new garage door?
Often yes in coastal Alabama, because the door must meet the local wind-load requirement. We handle sizing to code and can point you to the local building office for permit specifics.
