Below you can explore the insulation options we offer.

The open wooden framework of the garage interior suggests that the installation is part of a new construction or a significant renovation.

Wood Garage Door Installation in Walnut Creek

In installing wood garage doors throughout Walnut Creek, I've come to appreciate their aesthetic and the importance of proper installation. With my extensive experience installing wood garage doors, meaning what has worked the best, and seeing what has failed over the years, I guarantee my installation skills have proven results.

Many garage door installers have experience, but only some things ensure quality. I've seen experienced installers take shortcuts, affecting the door's performance. I take a thorough approach when installing wood doors because wood behaves differently than steel, expanding and contracting at a higher rate. Most important is the stability and alignment of the surrounding structure.

My first approach is to carefully examine the framework around your door to ensure it supports the door correctly. Sometimes, this involves re-framing to guarantee the door operates effectively for many years. This detailed, adaptive approach is what I mean by "extensive experience."

Doing a good job is more than proper installation; it's about extending your door's lifespan by ensuring the entire system, the opener, spring tension, chain adjustment, sensor location, etc., works properly.

Aluminum Garage Door Installation in Walnut Creek

Aluminum garage doors are an excellent choice for homeowners wanting a durable, low-maintenance option. They are lightweight, which reduces stress on the springs, rails, and openers and helps extend the door system's life.

These doors have a sleek design that complements contemporary and traditional styles, adding aesthetic value to any home. The combination of durability, reduced maintenance needs, and versatile style makes aluminum doors a practical and attractive option. Additionally, the panels are easy to lift and align during installation, and the framework doesn't have to be as heavy as other types of doors.

⭐ Garage Door Installation Reviews ⭐

"I recently contacted Same Day Garage Door Repair to set up a new door installation for my 2-car garage. Unfortunately, my old door was damaged and beyond repair after accidentally backing into it. This time, I opted for a good-grade steel door with two springs instead of the deficient-grade smaller spring in a pipe that my old door had.

To my surprise, Same Day Garage Door Repair was able to send Larry, their technician, to my house with a new door within 24 hours. The installation process was incredibly professional, and I am beyond satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of garage door services.

Discovering that my old, three-year-old door was a builder's special made with the lowest-grade pressed cardboard and styrofoam was disappointing. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, I am grateful for the excellent service provided by Same Day Garage Door Repair."

"I received a scheduled delivery of my new garage door from Same Day Garage Door Repair on Tuesday at 1 pm. The installer, Larry arrived earlier than expected, and in less than three hours, he had installed the new door.

The new door was significantly better than the builder-installed door. Larry was fantastic in terms of being organized and efficient. He removed the old door and installed the new one quickly, cleaning up as he went.

Once finished, he adjusted the door and the opener to make sure everything was properly functioning. Additionally, he made some adjustments that made the opener more secure. Finally, he removed the old door from the premises."

Transparent Pricing: A Garage Door Replacement Conversation

Larry (Same Day Garage Door Repair): Same-day Garage Door Repair
Customer: Hey, I'm just calling to see if you are able to give me a ballpark. Figure how much it would cost to replace a two-car garage door with windows insulated with just a cheap metal, whatever it is, aluminum.
Larry: It's the basic door with windows.
Customer: Yes.
Larry: No insulation.
Customer: Insulation, yes. With or without insulation, what do you start up at?
Larry: OK, and what size door is it?
Customer: What is it? Is it a two-car, two-car garage?
Larry: OK. So, it's either 15' or 16' wide by 7 ft high.
Customer: Correct.
Larry: That would be standard.
Larry: Is it a standard door?
Customer: Yes.
Larry: OK. Uh, and what kind of existing garage door do you have?
Customer: Yeah, the one that came with the house. I know the panels are starting to buckle. It's metal.
Larry: Uh, it is a sectional overhead garage door?
Customer: Yeah, the one with the little panels.
Larry: Yeah. So you got four panels, four sections.
Customer: There are more than four panels.
Larry: There are more than four sections?
Customer: Yeah, it's the little things; they're like 2.5' by whatever length, and then, you know.
Larry: OK. And so, you got a standard sectional for a sectional garage door.
Customer: Yes.
Larry: Uh, it should be a four-panel. Um, anyway. So you're looking for a new door. I have to ask you this because there's a new, there's a lot since 2019. If you change your top panel or door, the motor must be changed to a battery backup unit, right?
Customer: Right.
Larry: Is your opener right now a battery backup unit?
Customer: Yes.
Larry: It is OK. For a new door with windows, you'd be looking at about $2,200 installed with no insulation.
Customer: That's with no installation?
Larry: That's with no insulation, and then you'd be looking at about another $600 more with insulation. So, it costs about $2800, installed with insulation.
Customer: The $2800 with installation. And is that, is that with the windows?
Larry: Yes, $2200 would be with windows not insulated and then about $2800, with windows and insulation installed, that's installed, tax and everything.
Customer: And then, if the opener does not have a battery backup, I have to get that.
Larry: Yeah. And if the battery needs to be backed up and I change my least expensive unit, I sell three different units. So, I'm a LiftMaster dealer. So, the least expensive unit would be the chain drive, that's $850 installed. The belt drives if you upgrade to a belt drive, that one is $1000 installed.
Customer: OK.
Larry: Yeah.
Customer: OK. Well, thank you very much.
Larry: Have a good day.
Customer: Thank you
Larry: You bet. Bye.
