Garage door installation and replacement in Lexington is worth doing right. A new door changes the front of a house more than almost any other single project, and it's a chance to fix the noise, drafts and cold bonus room the old door caused. We connect you with a local independent installer who measures, quotes and installs.

Repair or replace?

Replace when panels are cracked or rusted through, the door has needed several repairs in a year or two, it's an uninsulated door under a living space, or parts aren't available anymore.
Repair when the problem is a spring, cable, roller or opener and the panels are sound. Those parts can be replaced on their own.

Choosing a door for a Lexington home

Insulated vs. non-insulated. Doors are sold by R-value. A garage under a bedroom, or used as a gym or workshop, benefits from an insulated, polyurethane-filled door. Insulated doors are also stiffer and quieter. A detached garage used only for storage may not need one.
Style. Carriage-house designs suit the many farmhouse and traditional homes around Central Kentucky. Flush or glass-panel doors suit newer modern builds.
Windows. Top-row windows let in light. Frosted glass keeps privacy.
HOA rules. Many Lexington subdivisions have architectural rules for door color and style. Check before you order.

What's usually included

Quotes typically cover removal and disposal of the old door, new tracks, springs sized to the new door's weight, weather seal, and adjustment of your existing opener. Ask whether a new opener, trim, or paint is included; prices differ a lot on those.

How long does installation take?

A standard residential door is commonly installed in about half a day to a day once it arrives. Custom sizes, colors or wood doors can take several weeks to order.

Common questions

How much is a new garage door for a two-car garage in Lexington?

Is an insulated garage door worth it?

If the garage is attached, has a room above it, or you spend time in it, usually yes. Insulated doors also tend to be quieter and more dent-resistant. For a detached storage garage it's often optional.

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

Commonly about half a day to a full day for a standard door. Ordering a custom door can take several weeks.

Do I need a new opener with a new door?

Not always. If your opener is in good shape, has photo-eye sensors and can lift the new door, the installer can adjust it. Older or underpowered openers are often replaced at the same time.
