Residential & commercial garage door replacement in Chicago Illinois. West, south, north & suburbs. Fast 24/7 emergency service:
Garage doors play an essential role in everyday life, especially in colder climates and during winter, when the garage provides shelter from the elements and keeps your vehicle in a warmer, more comfortable space. They’re also a major part of your home’s curb appeal, often located front and center.
In cases where your garage door panels are badly bent or no longer visually appealing, replacing the entire door may be necessary. However, in many cases, we can replace just the damaged panels, as long as the rest of the components are in good working condition and safe for long-term use.
Our 24 hour garage door replacement & repair services include full residential and commercial garage door replacement, broken spring replacement, snapped cable repair, opener troubleshooting, and more. We proudly serve the entire Greater Chicago area and surrounding suburbs.
🔄 Replacing a Residential or Commercial Garage Door – What to Consider
If you’re considering replacing your garage door, there are a few important factors to keep in mind. In some cases, you may only need to replace the panels and keep the existing hardware, depending on the condition of key components like the rollers, cables, springs, and opener. If these parts are still in good working order, we can simply service them and replace only what’s necessary, helping you save on the cost of a full installation.
💲 How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Residential Garage Door?
The cost of replacing a residential garage door in the Greater Chicago area typically ranges from $900 to $2,500, depending on the size of the door, material (steel, wood, insulated, etc.), and whether existing hardware can be reused. This price usually includes removal of the old door, installation of the new one, and basic hardware. Premium doors with custom designs or insulation features may cost more.
What Affects Garage Door Replacement Prices?
When considering garage door replacement services, several factors can influence the final prices. Basic steel doors remain the most affordable and heavy-duty option for homeowners seeking durability. On the other hand, energy-efficient and insulated garage doors are ideal for cold Chicago winters, helping maintain indoor temperatures and lower energy costs. If you’re upgrading from a single to a double door, or converting an old manual system to an automatic one, these changes can also affect the overall investment.
Installation Quality & Attention to Detail
Garage doors consist of many moving parts, and the ultimate goal is a perfectly aligned and sealed installation, sometimes down to just a few millimeters. Proper sealing ensures no warm air enters during summer and, more importantly, no cold air penetrates during Chicago’s harsh winters. A well-sealed door also keeps out pests and insects from entering your garage space.
While garage door installation may seem straightforward, we frequently encounter doors that were installed improperly—with mismatched springs or poor alignment. These shortcuts can put unnecessary strain on the system, often leading to issues like torn opener gears, snapped cables, or worn-out rollers caused by an overly heavy or unbalanced door.
We understand how important attention to detail is when replacing or installing a garage door. It’s not just about offering the lowest price—many of our calls come from fixing the results of low-cost, unprofessional installations. A high-quality installation ensures a quiet, smooth-operating door that will last for years. All you’ll need to do is schedule routine maintenance twice a year—once before and once after winter.

Commercial garage doors are typically larger and built to withstand heavier use compared to residential doors. Common sizes vary widely depending on the application, but standard widths often range from 10 to 20 feet or more, with heights from 10 to 16 feet. These doors are constructed from durable materials such as steel or aluminum, sometimes featuring insulated panels for improved energy efficiency in warehouses or loading docks. Depending on the industry, commercial doors may include rolling steel doors, sectional doors, or high-speed fabric doors designed for frequent and fast operation.
Recommended openers for commercial doors often differ from residential models; chain and belt drives are common, but many businesses use heavy-duty hydraulic or jackshaft openers to handle larger door sizes and more demanding usage.
