Until it stops working, most of us take a garage door opener for granted. But when it doesn’t lift up the heavy door concealing your car, you take notice. You certainly realize just how heavy that door is when you’re forced to lift it manually.
A garage door installation service will charge $407, which includes labor and material, to remove and replace your old unit with a new one of the same size and features in a two-car garage. If you’re handy and have carpentry and electrical skills and tools you can make the swap for $210, the cost of a new opener, and save 48%. It’s a lot of work that takes the better part of a day.
