What installation includes
Residential garage door installation: what you're actually buying
If you're looking for a garage door installation company, you're usually trying to solve more than a cosmetic problem. A new door changes how the garage seals against weather, how smoothly it runs, how loud it is, and how it interacts with the opener and safety sensors.
Garage Doors of Lakewood is a referral service. When you call, we take the details once and connect you with a local contractor who handles overhead garage door installation. You'll speak directly with the contractor about door options, measurements, and the on-site plan, and you decide whether to move forward.
A typical new garage door installation includes:
- Measuring the opening (width and height) and checking headroom and backroom so the track can be set correctly.
- Removing and hauling away the existing door and hardware when you're replacing an old unit.
- Installing vertical and horizontal tracks, rollers, hinges, and the torsion or extension spring system.
- Setting the bottom seal and perimeter weatherstrip so the door closes square and seals evenly.
- Reconnecting or setting up an opener if you have one, then adjusting travel limits and force settings so the door reverses correctly.
In Lakewood, wind, snow, and temperature swings can make fit and sealing matter. A door that is slightly out of square, or a bottom seal that doesn't contact evenly, can leave gaps that you notice every time the weather changes.
If you also need help with a door that won't open, makes grinding noises, or has a broken spring, that is a different job than installation. Many homeowners start by getting the immediate issue handled through a garage door repair service and then plan a replacement when it makes sense for the garage.

Common installation scenarios (and what the contractor will look for)
Questions before you call
Garage door installation questions Lakewood homeowners ask
Do I need a new opener with a new garage door installation?
Not always, but the opener has to match the door's weight and travel. A contractor will check the opener's condition, the rail and trolley setup, and whether the door is balanced properly so the opener isn't doing the lifting.
What information should I have ready when I call about overhead garage door installation?
The most helpful details are whether it's a single or double door, whether you're replacing an existing door, and what you want to change (insulation, windows, color, quieter rollers). If you know the rough opening width and height, share that too, but the installer will still measure on site.
Can a contractor install a door if my garage opening is slightly out of square?
Yes, but the installer needs to account for it so the door seals and runs correctly. Expect the contractor to check jamb condition, header level, and the floor line at the threshold before setting tracks and weatherstrip.
What are the main options I'll be asked to choose for new garage doors in Lakewood?
You'll usually choose door material (steel and composite options are common), insulation level, window layout (or none), and surface design (raised panel, recessed panel, or carriage-house look). The contractor can also discuss hardware upgrades like quieter rollers or heavier-duty hinges depending on your door size.
How long does a residential garage door installation take once the contractor starts?
Many replacements can be completed within a day, but the exact timeline depends on the door size, whether old hardware must be removed, and whether the opener or framing needs adjustments. The installer can give you a plan after seeing the opening and door package.
Will the old door and parts be removed?
Usually, yes, but disposal and what gets reused should be confirmed before work begins. Ask the contractor whether tracks, springs, and hinges are being replaced as part of the new garage door installation or whether any parts are planned to be reused.
How do I know if I need a full door replacement versus a panel replacement?
A full replacement is commonly chosen when the door is damaged in multiple sections, the hardware is worn, or you want a different insulation level or style. A contractor can compare your current door model and panel availability with the condition of the track and spring system before you decide.
