AfterTrusted Garage Door Installation for Marietta Homeowners
A Garage Door Installation in Marietta typically costs between $700 and $2,200, depending on the door size, material, and whether the track and hardware are being replaced at the same time. Most single-door installations are finished in one day once the door is measured and ordered. We’ve installed garage doors across Marietta since 2015, and every job starts with a written price and a written scope before any work begins.
The problem with most installation quotes is what’s not on them. We fix that by handing you a flat-price document before we touch anything. Clause 1 of The Haven Standard requires it. You’ll know the door, the hardware, the labor, and the haul-away cost before we schedule the install. If you’re comparing quotes from other Marietta companies, bring us their written estimate and we’ll give you a Free Second Opinion with no coupon required. Call (470) 486-7771 to talk through what you need.
Key Takeaways:
- New door installation in Marietta runs $700-$2,200 with the full written price in your hand before any work starts.
- We install Chamberlain, Genie, and Clopay products, among other major brands.
- Every visit includes a documented photo record of what was found and what was installed.
- Our 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the work; our written scope backs the price.
What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
Installation means more than hanging a door on a rail. We measure the opening, assess the framing and header, remove the old door and hardware, install the new door and track, calibrate the spring tension, test the balance, and adjust the opener if one is already in place. You receive a photo record of the completed work before we leave. That documentation is standard on every Servo job, not an add-on.
New Door Installation
A new door installation replaces the entire door assembly: panels, track, springs, rollers, hinges, and weatherseal. You need this when your current door is structurally compromised, the panel sections are separating, or the cost of repeated repairs has passed the point of reason. We measure every opening in three places across the width and two across the height, because Marietta homes built in the 1970s and 1980s often have openings that are no longer perfectly square. The written scope will call out any shimming or header work before we order the door.
Single Car Door Installation
Single car doors are typically 8 or 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall, and they’re common on the ranch and split-level homes you see throughout east Marietta. These installations are the fastest to complete because the door is lighter and the track can usually be set by one technician in a few hours. We stock the common steel single-door models from Clopay and Amarr, which keeps wait times shorter if you need a direct replacement. The quote includes removal and disposal of the old door.
Double Car Door Installation
Double doors span 16 to 18 feet and carry significantly more weight, which means the spring sizing and balance calibration matter more. A double door that is under-sprung will strain the opener and wear rollers prematurely; one that is over-sprung will slam or refuse to stay halfway. We calculate spring wire diameter and coil count against the actual door weight on a scale, not by guessing. Homes in the Pope High School and Lassiter High School districts tend to have the widest double openings, and we’ve installed enough of them to order those sizes without a second site visit.
Custom Garage Door Installation
Custom doors cover everything from non-standard opening sizes to specific wood species, window patterns, and insulation requirements. If the builder framed a 7-foot-6-inch opening instead of a standard 7-foot, you’re in custom territory, and we’ll need to spec a door cut to that measurement. Marcus Deller personally reviews every custom order before it’s placed, because a mistake on a custom panel means a four-to-six-week delay to re-order. We’ll photograph the opening, note the exact reveal, and put the written size on the quote so there’s no ambiguity.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are the workhorses of Marietta garages: they hold up to humidity, they’re available with polyurethane insulation for homes with attached garages, and they don’t require the upkeep of wood. The trade-off is that steel shows dents more readily, and a hard impact on a lower panel can require a panel replacement down the line. We recommend 24-gauge steel or thicker for any door on a street with kids playing basketball or where the driveway slopes toward the garage. The gauge number is in the written scope.
Wood Doors
Wood doors are a visual statement, and on the craftsman and farmhouse-style homes in Marietta’s older neighborhoods, they’re often the right call. They are heavier, which means the springs and opener must be matched to the actual door weight, not a published average. Wood also moves with seasonal humidity, so we set the weatherseal clearances slightly looser on wood doors to prevent sticking in July. If you want a wood door, budget for bi-annual seal or paint maintenance: that’s not a suggestion, it’s what keeps the door from warping within five years.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We install and service all eight major brands: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. But most of the installs we complete in Marietta involve three of them in particular.
Clopay is the most common door we hang in this market. Their steel lines hold up well to the humidity swings we get between April and October, and the panel profiles match the architectural styles you see from Whitlock Avenue up to East Cobb. We’ve installed enough Clopay doors to know which hardware packages need reinforcement and which ones don’t. Amarr is the brand we recommend most often when a homeowner wants a wood-look finish without the maintenance of real wood. Their Classica line carries the grain pattern convincingly while staying in the $1,200 to $1,800 range for a typical double door. Genie is the opener brand we pair with a new door when the existing opener is more than twelve years old and worth replacing while the track is already down. We carry Genie wall consoles and safety sensors on the truck, so the opener install happens the same day as the door.
Whether you have Clopay, Amarr, Genie, or any other make on the door, we can install it and stand behind it. If you already own a door and want a second opinion on the install quote you received from another company, bring us the paperwork.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- The door no longer sits square in the opening. If you can see daylight on one side and not the other, or the door scrapes the jamb only on one side, the frame or the door itself has shifted. On a steel door, this often means the end stiles have pulled loose from the bottom panel. Shimming the track will buy you weeks at best; we’ll walk you through whether a new door is the more honest call.
- Two or more panels are dented or cracked. A single dent is a cosmetic issue. When two panels are compromised, especially the bottom panel, the structural integrity of the door is gone. The bottom panel carries the weight of the door as it folds through the radius of the track. Once that panel is weakened, the door starts to flex and the rollers wear the track unevenly.
- You’re repairing the same door more than once a year. If you’ve had a spring replaced, a track realigned, and a panel patched within eighteen months, you’re operating a door that’s reaching the end of its service life. We’ll show you the math: a door that needs $600 a year in repairs is more expensive over five years than a $1,200 door installed once.
- The door is original to the home and you bought before 2000. Many homes in the Sprayberry and Wheeler school clusters still have the original builder-grade door from the 1980s. Those doors were built with lighter gauge steel, no insulation, and hardware that is no longer manufactured. When a roller or hinge fails on one of those, the replacement part often doesn’t fit correctly without modification.
- You’re planning to sell the house within two years. A garage door is one of the few improvements that returns more than it costs at resale in this market. An insulated steel door in a neutral color photographs well and eliminates the single most visible defect on many Marietta homes. We’ll document the install with a photo record you can hand to your agent.
Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step
The process is documented because documentation is the point. Clause 1 of The Haven Standard requires a written price and scope before any work begins. Clause 4 requires the photographic record. You’ll know what the process looks like before we arrive.
- 1
Measure and assess. We measure the opening width at three heights, check the side room and headroom, and inspect the existing track, spring, and hardware condition. If the header is cracked or the framing has settled, that goes on the written scope. We’ll also look at the electrical outlet placement for the opener.
- 2
Written price and written scope. Before you commit to anything, you’ll see a flat price with the door model, size, material, insulation value, hardware, labor, and disposal listed separately. No install begins without this document. If you have a competing written estimate, this is the moment to use the Free Second Opinion offer: we’ll review it line by line against ours.
- 3
Door order and scheduling. Standard steel doors in common sizes are often available within days. Custom sizes and wood doors take longer, usually two to six weeks depending on the mill. We’ll give you a realistic window when we order, and we’ll text you when the door arrives at our shop, not before.
- 4
Installation and calibration. The technician removes the old door and hardware, sets the new track, and calibrates the spring tension to the actual measured weight of the door. On a double door, that means a spring balance check with the opener disconnected so you can see the door hold at the halfway point. We install or adjust the opener last so the door’s balance isn’t fighting the motor.
- 5
Documented walkthrough. Before we leave, you receive the photo record of the completed installation, along with the final warranty documentation and the written scope marked as complete. We’ll show you the door’s balance, run it through three full cycles, and adjust the opener travel limits so the door doesn’t creep. You’ll sign off on the work with the evidence in front of you.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Marietta?
A new single car steel door in Marietta runs $700 to $1,200 installed. A double car steel door runs $1,200 to $2,200, depending on insulation, window inserts, and whether you’re replacing the opener at the same time. See our Garage Door Installation cost guide for more detail. Wood doors start higher and go up from there. These are flat numbers we put in writing before the work starts, not estimates we adjust after the fact. The price you sign is the price you pay.
What affects the number:
- Door size and opening condition. A non-square opening adds shim and header work. A 16-foot double door with reinforcement strut requirements runs more than a standard 8-foot single.
- Insulation type. Polystyrene insulation costs less than polyurethane, but polyurethane has roughly double the R-value. If the garage is attached to the house, we recommend polyurethane.
- Hardware replacement. Reusing old track and hinges on a new door is a false economy. Our written scope always includes new hardware, and we won’t quote a door without it.
- Disposal. Haul-away of the old door is included, not a line-item surcharge unless you request a special pickup outside the install day.
How do you avoid overpaying? Get the price in writing before you agree to anything. If a company won’t put the number on paper before scheduling, walk away. That’s the whole reason our home page leads with Clause 1 of The Haven Standard: The Haven Standard is not a suggestion. The quote is the quote. Call (470) 486-7771 and we’ll give you the number before we hang up.

Frequently Asked Questions - Garage Door Installation in Marietta
Garage door installation is the complete replacement of your garage door, including the panels, track, springs, rollers, hinges, and weatherseal. It is different from garage door repair, which fixes one component (like a spring or a cable) while leaving the existing door in place. A full installation in Marietta means the old door is removed, the new door is hung and balanced, and the opener is adjusted or replaced to match the new door’s weight.
A standard single or double steel door installation takes one day, usually four to six hours on site. If you’re replacing the opener at the same time, add an hour. Custom and wood doors take longer because of the manufacturing lead time, which can run two to six weeks, but the on-site installation is still a single day. Call (470) 486-7771 and we’ll tell you the lead time for the specific door you want.
A new garage door installation in Marietta runs $700 to $2,200, with single doors at the lower end and double doors with insulation and windows at the upper end. The price you receive from us is flat, written, and includes labor, hardware, and disposal. We don’t quote a range and then revise it after we see the opening; we quote the exact number before you sign anything.
Yes. We install all three, along with LiftMaster, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. Clopay is the door brand we hang most often in Marietta homes, while Genie is the opener we pair with new doors when the existing unit is past its useful life. If you have a specific brand in mind, tell us when you call and we’ll spec the exact model in your written quote.
Most installation work is scheduled, not dispatched as an emergency, because doors are measured and ordered. The exception is when a door has failed catastrophically and is stuck open or blocking a vehicle, in which case a live person answers (470) 486-7771 around the clock and we’ll send a technician to secure the opening. After the opening is secured, we’ll provide the written installation quote and schedule the replacement.
Your installation is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the installation isn’t done right, we make it right within the first year at no cost to you. The door and hardware carry the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and model. We document the completed installation with a photographic record and provide the warranty paperwork at the walkthrough, so you have the coverage in writing before we leave.
Clear the area inside the garage about four feet back from the door, and move any vehicles parked in the driveway the night before the scheduled install. Disconnect any items stored against the garage wall on the track side. We’ll handle the removal of the old door, the debris, and the cleanup; you just need to give us clear access to the opening. If you have a home security system with a garage door sensor, you’ll want to note that when we arrive.
